Individually Directed Retreats
St. John’s House, 3937 St. Peter’s Road, Victoria
This is an opportunity to be accompanied individually as a way to deepen your prayer life, to explore particular issues or needs in your relationship with God, and to grow in sensitivity to the movements of the Spirit of God within you. You may choose a time that is convenient to you and to the household at St John’s House ‐ mid‐week, a weekend or several days. You will have an individual guide for your retreat who will meet with you daily and help you discern and trust the movement of the Holy Spirit in your life. The scriptural model for this kind of retreat is Mary’s visit to her cousin Elizabeth who recognized that Mary was carrying within her the Son of God. Each of us carries the God‐seed within us. This kind of retreat is an opportunity to allow that God‐seed to grow and flourish in our lives and to grow in sensitivity to the movements of the Spirit of God within.
Suggested cost: $75 per 24 hours period which includes your room, three meals, and a personal guide for your retreat. Please call 250‐920‐7787 to enquire or for information.
