Text Box: What is a Retreat? A retreat is a refreshing experience of withdrawing to a quiet, comfortable place, alone or sometimes with friends, to step aside from everyday concerns, relax, take a fresh look at life, sort things out, and care for your soul. The experience can be brief or extended and is reflective and spiritual. Different kinds of retreats are appropriate depending on the retreatant’s personal life journey. Servant Song offers a variety of retreats for both individuals and groups.

Types of Retreats We Offer...

• Guided group retreats offer small groups an opportunity to come together with a retreat director in an extended group spiritual direction experience.  Normally about 42 hours long, these retreats are most popular on weekends.

• Guided days of prayer/reflection provide individuals, assisted by a retreat director, an opportunity to come apart for up to 24 hours  of prayer and quiet reflection/meditation.

• Directed retreats can be scheduled at anytime throughout the year. These retreats include the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola (offered for 3, 5, or 7 days) and Ignatian Spirituality in Everyday Life - Annotation 19.

• Preached/conference-type retreats are presented around a central theme on some aspect of spirituality. Time is allotted for prayer and reflection.  The theme can be tailored to fit the specific needs of a group.

•  Private retreats provide an individual with an opportunity to enter into a time of intense silence to seek God’s direction in solitude. 

•  Day breaks are available if you need  "something" but find it difficult to get away overnight or for more than a day. A guided  day of reflection will refresh your spirit and provide rest for your soul.  These "day breaks" can be scheduled  any day of the week.  Call for date availability.

Retreat House & Spirituality Center

 

What is a Retreat House?

 

A retreat house is a spirituality center presented in a homelike atmosphere marked by hospitality,

simplicity, and quiet.  It provides a comfortable space where individuals and small groups can “retreat”

from their busy work-a-day lives for a few hours, a day, a  weekend, or 5 – 7 days. 

Through the dynamics of private and group prayer, various workshops, and individual and group

spiritual direction, visitors will experience spiritual enrichment and refreshment.

Other Offerings...
Text Box: Ignatian Spirituality in Everyday Life - Annotation 19 For those who desire to make the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius but are unable to do so in a typical retreat setting, Annotation 19 is offered year-round. By appointment. *NOTE: Directed retreats according to the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius may be scheduled at anytime throughout the year with resident Spiritual Director, Donna Koller. These retreats can be 24 hours, full weekend, 5 days, and 8 days and include room, meals, and daily private spiritual direction. Private Spiritual Direction Trained directors offer individual private spiritual direction on a daily basis. By appointment. Tailored Retreats We will be happy to tailor a retreat to the special needs of your group. We also make our facility available for private retreat groups that provide their own retreat directors/leaders.

What is Spiritual Direction?

A simple definition, according to David A. Rosage:

“Spiritual direction is a process in which one person (directee) meets regularly with a competent person (director) in order to seek some guidance, reassurance, discernment, and affirmation in developing a deeper, richer relationship with the Lord....It is a process in which the director helps the directee become more alert to the presence and prompting of the Holy Spirit in his or her life...discern more clearly where the Lord is leading.”
