Closer: Deepening Our Relationship with God (a Silent Ignatian Retreat) 

Facilitated by: Chip Wood

Join us for a weekend of silence enriched by eight sessions of learning different methods of getting closer to God. Whether you are experienced in contemplation, or just learning how to pray, you will thoroughly enjoy exploring the avenues to connect to God utilized for generations. Topics include learning to pray, gratitude, lamentation, practicing presence, walking meditation, recollection, and centering prayer. Time to practice what you are learning and opportunities for spiritual direction with facilitators and retreat center staff are built into our time together.
