POST-INTENSIVE
RETREAT
The 8 or10-Day Intensive is an in-depth experience in
contemplative living and spirituality. The purpose of the retreat is
to assist the participants in entering into a more intimate
relationship with God and self. This is facilitated through the
cultivation of a deep level of interior silence in a nurturing,
supportive environment that combines both solitude and
community.
The Post Intensive is a next step into a profound silence and stillness
in order to facilitate a more intimate union with God. The 10-Day
Intensive is a prerequisite for the Post Intensive.
