Retreat: Into the Interior Castle

FAQ

  • What good is an on-line retreat anyway?
    Our on-line retreat series will hopefully help you to better know something of yourself and God.  Just as in any retreat, the on-line retreat provides an opportunity for those unable to "get away" to help themselves in their journey.

  • Who is this retreat intended for?
    This retreat are for those who believe there is a God, and those who question if a God exists.  It isn't necessary to be Christian, and this retreat is an opportunity to take a closer look into prayer, the soul, why we pray or do anything good at all.   This retreat is great for individuals who may want to privately reflect on the mysteries of God.

  • How much does it cost?
    It's FREE !

  • Can I do this by myself, or do I need a Retreat Director?
    Absolutely!  In fact, this retreat is intended to be self-guided.  There is no Retreat Director, except you.

  • How much time do I need to dedicate to the retreat?
    You can move at your own pace, although it is recommended that you set aside three consecutive days.  It isn't necessary to go into seclusion, especially for those who already find it difficult to get away from the everyday responsibilities that one may have.  I recommend that you take 30 minutes 2-3 times per day to reflect and pray on that day's message.  The questions at the end of each section (day) can help you get started.  This retreat should take you three days.

  • Do you have other retreats?
    We plan on having a series of retreats that will be geared toward different audiences, but hopefully provide an enjoyable experience to all.  Be sure to check back to see if any new retreats have been added.

  • Where should I do this retreat?
    You can do this retreat wherever you find yourself!  The important thing to remember is not the place, so much as setting some time apart each day where you will not be distracted.  Silence is always a help, but not absolutely required.  You may find it helpful to turn the ringer on your phone off/down.  You can even print-out the retreat, and take it with you on the road!

  • Is there an option to take a retreats with a Retreat Director?
    Our focus is for on-line retreats, but for those who would like a directed retreat there are all sorts of options available to you.  By walking into any Catholic church, you can ask the priest what's available and he should be able to refer you to which retreats are local to your area.  You can also go to our retreat page, and see what's currently being offered.  The on-line retreats are free of charge, and our intent is to keep it that way!
