Retreat to Move Forward
what we can gain from taking time away
This week on the Raised Catholic podcast, I’m bringing back an episode from September of 2021 all about the value and impact of retreats. In a culture that emphasizes progress and busy-ness, taking time away for a retreat can seem counter-intuitive to moving forward on our paths, but I can say from experience (including this past weekend as I was away on a cursillo retreat), that the investment of time in a retreat can bear such beautiful fruit: clarity, energy, perspective and the knowledge of just how much we are seen, known and loved.
This weekend I left a few burdens behind at the retreat house and in their place, God gave me some epiphanies to take home with me. I’ll be talking more about what I gained this weekend in future episodes, but while I process all that God had to reveal to me there, I wish you peace, wisdom and clarity in whatever place you can find it this week.
God is so good. You are so loved.
Listen to episode 151: Revisiting: Retreat to Move Forward at the Raised Catholic podcast on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts (or read the transcript) and come back here to tell me about your retreat experiences in the comments. I’ll see you there. Happy Thanksgiving!
