This retreat does not require you to be at a retreat centre. It is to be taken as you go about your daily life and in your home setting.

It is about intentionally setting aside  a daily prayer space of about 30 minutes to spend with God over  a two week period. Bible passages will be given for prayer each day and one is taught and guided to listen to God through Scriptures and to notice God's active presence in your  daily life.. During the 2 weeks, a trained spiritual companion  will meet with you on alternate days to prayerfully listen and support you through this time of retreat.  

This retreat can bring a refreshing change to how you spend your quiet time with God as well as  help you to develop a habit of seeking God daily.  Recommended for those who want to find God in their daily life, grow in their prayer life or have a deeper relationship with God.
