PERSONAL GUIDED RETREAT
"Come away all by yourselves and rest a while."
Need to get away all by yourself and rest awhile but not sure how?
The Personal Retreat Guide is designed for people wanting a retreat but not sure how to do it. It gives detailed information to guide you through a day alone with God; a quiet day of silence and solitude. There are specific suggestions to gently lead you in a balance of ritual (intentional prayerful reading of Scripture, with suggestions of both what to read and how to read) and spontaneity (free time, with ideas on how to fill your solitude remaining attentive to God in all things).
I am a trained and experienced spiritual director and retreat leader. I have a Doctor of Theology degree and have been teaching about the spiritual life for many years. I’m also a frequent retreatant myself and have often struggled to find help to lead me through a day of silence and solitude. My hope is that this guide will help you find a practical and meaningful way to be attentive to God and open to the working of the Spirit within.
There are three options for you to choose: 1) "Come and See:" accepting an invitation from Jesus to see more clearly. 2) "Any who thirst, come:" Jesus promised water given freely as a gift. We just have to come. 3) "Restore us, O Lord:" designed for an Advent Quiet Day. All Guides are in pdf format.
The Personal Retreat Guide is available at a cost of only $15 (US). Please click on the ‘pay now’ button below, complete the information including your email address, and, within 24-48 hours I will send you a Guide via email. Let me know which retreat guide you would like, 1, 2 or 3. If you live in South Africa, the cost is only R100. Please use the 'contact me' (above) and not the 'pay now' button and I'll send you banking details for South Africans.
