Weekend
Retreats
There are a variety of weekend options for retreat. For Kairos alumni or those with some experience in contemplative retreat, consider Spiritual Reading and Writing, Approaches to Contemplation, or the Kairos Deepening Prayer classes.
Also available -- Contemplative Healing Prayer Retreat.
For those new to Kairos or the contemplative life, joining the regular students and staff of Kairos School of Spiritual Formation for your own weekend retreat offers a unique opportunity to participate in the life of the school, while nurturing your own spirit with personal time for reflection, journaling, and prayer. On Saturday, you are invited to participate in a primary teaching session with the Year One students. Optional Group sessions offering a variety of prayer forms, such as Centering Prayer and Lectio Divina, and an opportunity to meet with a spiritual director round out the possibilities for your retreat. Retreats begin at 5:00 p.m. on Friday and conclude at 1:00 pm on Sunday.
