| Welcoming God's Embrace:
Navigating the Whitewater of Transitions |
An Alumni Overnight Retreat |
With Retreat Director, Sister Nancy Brousseau, O.P. |
| |
| June 5 & 6, 2010 |
| |
| Location: Aquinas College Campus |
| |
| Stressed? Seeking spiritual direction? Just need time alone with God? The Offices of Alumni Relations and Campus Ministry invite you to come back home to Aquinas for a weekend of prayer, reflection, sharing, and relaxation. |
| |
| This year's theme: |
Through scripture, story, mandalas, and reflection on life experience, discover within you new strength and understanding of the change process as invitation to transformation.
Together we will ponder Jesus' passion, dying and rising, the Christian Paschal Cycle as the lens for greater awareness & making some sense of life's changes, the difficult, painful, and confusing times of our lives.
Opportunities for silence, reflection & solitude provided. |

Comments from last year's participants: |

|
"I've never participated in a retreat, but I was positively impacted-by others experiences and input and my own discoveries" |
