Join us for the Media Apostle Retreat, and experience a spirituality just for you.
After the Apostles returned from the mission Jesus had given them, Jesus told them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest awhile" (Mark 6:31, NRSV).
This retreat is a privileged moment for rest, prayer, quiet, and spiritual renewal. We encourage you to let the Lord hold your everyday life and work in his capable hands for a few days so you may listen deeply to the Spirit moving and be spiritually fueled to return to whatever vineyard God has entrusted to you.
Since this retreat is a time of spiritual renewal, we ask you to refrain from pitching projects or other work-related requests. Our main goal is to give all participants the space they need for prayer and reflection.
Hear what participants in the Media Apostle Retreat have to say about their experience.
See what's in store for you!
