This retreat is made up of three components intended to guide participants on a powerful growth journey. The retreat begins with the exploration of how our individual personalities affect every aspect of our lives and how to recognize our strengths and weaknesses that affect our relationship with God and the people around us. The second component of the retreat assists participants with discovering principles of personal growth and will help them to reach their maximum potential as a Christian disciple. The third component of the retreat will introduce retreatants to principles and practices that enable them to better connect with the people in their lives, enabling them to flourish and improve relationships. 

Throughout the retreat, participants will benefit from the insights of Sacred Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church while exploring great Saints who match their personality type so that they can develop a relationship with these role models and gain ideas on how to follow Christ even better.  A Spiritual Director will be available to facilitate small group discussion for those wishing to deepen in their experience. The newfound self-awareness, wisdom and saintly relationships derived from this retreat will provide substantive building blocks for participants to take their relationship with the Lord and His Church to the next level. 

Participants will be asked to complete an online personality assessment, prior to the retreat, in order to make the most of their experience.

Spiritual direction has always been recommended by the Church but has often been misunderstood as something reserved only for Priests and the consecrated religious. According to Pope Benedict XVI, spiritual direction is for every Catholic who desires to live out their Baptism and is called to a more substantive relationship with Jesus Christ. 

Retreatants are invited to spend a day learning about what spiritual direction is and how it can help them transcend the limits of their own wisdom and experience, avoid self-deception and discern the voice of God from that of their own psychology and the enemy. They will learn about its history and will be exposed to a treasure trove of wisdom from Saints and Mystics who achieved the peak of unity with God. They will also discover how the human sciences and spirituality converge to benefit their walk with the Lord. 

Participants will have the opportunity to experience a spiritual direction session, craft their own Rule of Life and come away with information on how they can establish a long-term relationship of accompaniment with a spiritual director.
