Retreat description:
    Retreat organized in response to feedback from surveys of previous trips to organize a retreat about love. The Diakonia decided to take up this topic despite its very general nature. One of our basic assumptions was not to allow "drifting on the topic" — hence relying entirely on the "Song of Songs" as a guarantee that the retreat would have a clear axis. The possibility of multi-layered interpretation of this book allowed us to naturally adapt the content to the age of participants in a given small group (e.g. in younger groups there was no developed naturalistic interpretation). This retreat is basically working on a process because we were not able to predict how the book would lead us in the life context of our participants.
