ACTIVITIES: The
main focus is the personal experience of God. Each retreatant meets with the
director personally once a day to share his/her experience of God during that
day in order to understand better the promptings of the Spirit. The director
might suggest Scripture passages for meditation, but fully respects the
freedom of the directee in his/her dealings with God, without imposing any
way of prayer or setting any goals for the directee. The retreatant makes
his/her own schedule and so is able to develop his/her response to God's
invitation and his/her own rhythm of prayer. Silence is kept at all times
during the whole length of the retreat as a means to increase awareness of
God's presence. An individually guided retreat can last any number of days
from one day to one month. and be held any time of the year, depending on the
availability of directors. 2. Preached retreats: The
director offers 2-3 talks a day and gives direction for prayer. This kind of
retreat can be fitting for groups. Occasions for individual spiritual direction
depend on the availability of the director. 3. Personal retreat: Everybody
is invited to come and spend a day or several days in silent prayer on his or
her own. The retreatant might like to approach a director on request. == Please notice that absolute
silence is kept all the time during a retreat. ==
