The Spirituality for Intimacy Retreat explores our capacity and resistances for intimacy towards God, others and ours very selves. 

We only risk intimacy, when we grow in the trust and confidence, that is borne out of the experience that we are loved by a Divine Lover, who has loved me with an everlasting love.

The Intimacy Retreat is composed of: daily input session; the opportunity of a daily meeting with a Prayer Companion; daily Celebration of Eucharist; and opportunity for individual sacramental Reconciliation.

This retreat begins with the 6.00pm meal on the evening of the first date, followed by an introductory talk and Eucharist. It usually concludes after 2.oopm Eucharist on the last date shown.

"...at night I sought him whom my soul loves; but found him not;
I called him, but he gave no answer."
" Have you seen him whom my soul loves?"
"Then I found him whom my soul loves.
I held him, and would not let him go..."
Song of Songs 3:1-4
