Quite Days and Retreats

---

A retreat is a planned time of spiritual refreshment, with the opportunity to rest, unwind and pray. It offers the chance to reflect in an unhurried way on your life, your relationships, and your experience of God; to ponder the meaning of what has happened to you, and to prepare for the future. Retreats usually involve a good deal of silence because many people have discovered, through the centuries, that it is in quiet that they can best find themselves and God. But retreats need not necessarily be entirely silent: they may include daily conversation with others in a group, some kind of shared activity, or a meeting with a retreat guide.You may go on retreat for a variety of reasons:

• A wish for some quiet time.
• A need some time for reflection away from work or family. 
• A desire to explore your spiritual life.
• A desire to deepen your relationship with God.
• A longing to know more about prayer.

A quite day is a great way to step away from the day to day activites we all engage in and find a safe please to discover more about the God who is ever present with us.
