RETREATS (Saturdays) 09h00 – 12h00

Retreat is a conscious choice to place your life before God and to seek a deeper awareness of His Presence. It is a decision to set aside time to withdraw from your daily routine and seek the Lord in order that you can prayerfully reflect on your life and re-engage with the One who gives life meaning and purpose. It can be described as a period of time set aside for God; and may  include a number of the following disciplines. Reading books, resting, reading the Bible, prayer, worship, journaling, creative exercises, creative expression using art forms and can include meeting with a spiritual guide. At the core of a retreat lies the decision to place yourself before God for a specific uninterrupted period of time. In retreat we come to know and accept ourselves more fully and   embrace who we truly are. In doing this we also come to know who He truly is. It is a conscious decision to learn to Be still and know that He is God Psalm 46:10
