Retreats For Individuals

Why a retreat?
The most common reason for a person to go on a retreat seems to be a genuine thirst to know
oneself better, to get in touch with the higher Self, and to tap into the source of universal
energy, by whatever name you might prefer to use: Energy, God, Love, the Universal
Unconscious.... Going on a retreat allows a period of solitude and silence to "listen"
to the voice of your own experience, and through that to become more deeply acquainted
with the God who (or Universal Energy which) is within us. There are many options open
to you for a retreat experience, religious or secular. If a silent retreat is what you
are looking for, you can get lots of quiet time, away from daily demands. Alternatively,
you can seek a directed retreat offered at many religious facilities, or a secular program
featuring an experiential seminar or workshop.

Meditation
One useful process in moving to the higher Self is meditation. If prayer is a medium for you
to speak to God (Universal Energy), then meditation may be described as a medium for God
(Universal Energy) to speak to you. Meditation can help you tap your inner resources.
