“What is the focus of this retreat?”

This retreat will explore one of the most difficult lack of actions facing our culture and society.  That being, self-awareness.  In a culture focused on entertainment there is little time or felt need to stop and reflect on why we may be doing something, or how it may be affecting me and those around me.

There is also a tremendous temptation to trivialize significant meaning offering opportunities and efforts to “self-improve.”  Although an overnight retreat cannot assume it will bring such an effort forward for any of us, it can give us time, support, and opportunity to see how we are doing regarding authentic self-awareness.  It is hard work and often painful as well.  That is why we gather as brothers to support and challenge one another.
