During a Directed Retreat you usually meet individually with a director for 45 - 60 minutes on each full day to share your experience of prayer and whatever is going on between you and God throughout the day. You may have encountered and responded to God in your formal prayer time, on a walk, during a meal, etc. Suggestions for ongoing prayer are often offered.
The only general gathering is for a communal service or liturgy. You will have plenty of time and space for personal prayer, rest, relaxation, and exercise.

To enhance attentiveness to God's still voice, a reverent silence is maintained throughout the Retreat Center at all times, including during meals. Background music will be played at lunch and dinner.

Please plan to arrive after 3 P.M. on opening day and to depart at 11:30 A.M. on the final day. It is most suitable to the retreat if your travel arrangements fit within these parameters. On the opening day dinner is at 6 P.M. followed by a general meeting at 7:15 P.M. The retreat closes with an 11:00 A.M. communal prayer followed by departure at approximately 11:30 A.M.
