This directed retreat begins with our Advent Reflection by Pat Bergen, CSJ. Each participant promises to spend one half hour per day in prayer and to meet with a retreat director five times for one half hour during the 12-day retreat. Immediately following the Advent Reflection, participants will meet with their retreat directors to set up five, one half hour one-on-one meetings during which a direction for the next day’s prayer will be discovered. The retreat ends on the evening of Friday, December 13th with a group gathering.

Format: In-Person or Zoom | The spiritual directors will be in person at The Well or on Zoom.
