How is this Contemplative Retreat different from other Thrive Retreats?
Great question! Our new Contemplative Retreat varies in a number of ways.
The Contemplative Retreat takes place over five nights in a private room (vs. three nights in a shared room for a standard Thrive Retreat).
The format of the Contemplative Retreat is much less structured that a standard Thrive Retreat and allows for each individual to personally go deep, with extended time for introspection and meeting with the Lord.
During the Contemplative Retreat you will meet with your personal counselor and spiritual director daily to be able to progressively work together toward depth, growth, and healing.
You will also be treated to multiple massages throughout the week to help physically release tension and usher in relaxation. Your day will be made up of these appointments and ample free time.
Each evening we will meet together for dinner with your special dinner group and then have a time of worship together.
There will be no corporate teaching or general session as in a standard Thrive Retreat, instead allowing the work to be very personal and to take place in each of your one-on-one counseling and spiritual direction appointments.
