These are turbulent times, full of uncertainty and fear. In this virtual retreat, learn to use our Christian foundation of paschal mystery to uncover communal and personal wounds and transform them into sacred experiences. Learn to love yourself and love others by cultivating a deeper spiritual life through heart-centered awareness. Learn to shift your attention inward and listen, cultivating your strength stemming from love rather than ego. Reflect on the cross of your own reality, learn the essential nature of surrender, and experience the transformative power of God’s unconditional love.
