In the fever and agitation of modern life, the need of meditation and spiritual repose impresses itself on Christian souls who desire to reflect on their eternal destiny, and direct their life in this world towards God. 

Workshops are good and can give fresh ideas and inspiration for enhancing family life, doctrinal formation and your social and cultural milieu. 

But a silent retreat allows you to engage in quiet reflection on your relationship with Jesus Christ. It is an opportunity to ponder what has gone well, what has not gone so well. Try it and I'm sure you'll come away with resolutions that will bring new light to your daily life.
