The Soul Connections spring retreat invites both laity and clergy to experience rest and renewal. Using JOURNEY as our guiding theme, together we’ll explore how pilgrimage can be a metaphor for the spiritual journey. To embark on a pilgrimage is to leave where one is and arrive where one is not yet. We may find ourselves on an old road of initiation, a quest for healing, an walk of penance, a search for companions, a journey of deep reflection or even a hope for reinvention in communion with God.

JOURNEY is the second in a series of four Soul Connections retreats centered on the foundational themes of connection, invitation, reflection and celebration. The retreats complement one another to form a personal, four-retreat journey over two years. At the same time, each retreat opportunity stands alone.
