Renew Your Spirit at our Retreat Center in Illinois

The challenges of daily life often leave us feeling disconnected to our higher self and out of touch with what really matters. Sometimes, simply dealing with all the demands of work, home and family, it can be all too easy to ignore our spiritual needs. When we neglect our spiritual needs in favor of focusing on worldly distractions, it can lead to feelings of isolation, confusion and a overwhelming feeling of being unfulfilled and unsatisfied, no matter how much wealth or how many possessions we accrue. In order to reconnect with ourselves and our spiritual center, we need to unplug, reset our internal compass and find the inner peace that comes only with reflection, contemplation and meditative prayer.

A perfect place to do all of these things is in retreat centers in Illiinois. Retreat centers offer a place specially designed to help block out the worries, responsibilities and stresses of every day life. Once these normal distractions are silenced, it becomes easier to quiet the constantly running inner monologue of the mind and get closer to your true nature. Our retreat centers in Illinois provide the perfect environment to reflect on what is truly important to you, what you really need to be happy and to seek a closer relationship with God.

At the retreat center, you will have time for quiet contemplation, but you can also enjoy fellowship with others. We offer a variety of classes, seminars, workshops and spiritual programs to help you on your journey to a more peaceful and fulfilling life. We offer a variety of retreats to best suit each individual's needs. We offer retreats that focus on spiritual needs, psychological needs and hybrid retreats that offer both.

Guided retreats are designed for prayer and reflection of the day's morning readings and the suggested readings for the day. After the morning presentation, you can read the material, spend time reflecting and praying on it and then share in the Eucharist. Guided retreats give you an opportunity to spend time in prayerful silence to allow you the greatest opportunity to truly discover your heart and mind. Check out this webpage to learn more.

Directed retreats offer an opportunity for you to spend time in prayer and solitude, but also offers a chance for you to discuss your feelings, ideas and thoughts with a retreat director. These discussions can be extremely beneficial in helping you uncover the path God is leading your life and the messages He has for you.

Private retreats are also available. In these retreats, you may bring your own materials for reading and contemplation or your may ask for direction in your prayers and meditations. If you would like to talk with a retreat director, you certainly may, but it is not mandatory. These retreats allow you to customize your experience and structure each day according to what is on your heart.

No matter which retreat you choose to attend, you will leave feeling closer to your true self and to God. Visit us today to learn more about our retreats and everything we offer.
