Retreat description:

Retreats based on the quote from St. Augustine: “You created us, O God, directed towards You, and our heart is restless until it rests in You”. We tried to appreciate desires, primarily as a source of information about ourselves. It is not wrong to desire many things; the question is only what these desires are directed towards. The leitmotif of these retreats is a built labyrinth. On the first day, participants wrote their desires on cards from which we later built a three-dimensional labyrinth of our desires. On the second day, we placed the Cross in the middle of this labyrinth. At the end of the second day, each participant received a string, which they laid out in the labyrinth as their path to Jesus, like Ariadne’s thread.
