First In-Person Weekend Retreat!

Retreat 1

In January we hosted our first in-person weekend retreat since 2020, and we did it without leaving town. We booked a lounge and rooms on campus for the entire weekend and cozied it up with lamps, candles, fabric, and other decorations to create a warm atmosphere. Through small group "Journey Circles", students were able to share the important themes in their lives and offer deep, compassionate listening to each other.
