RETREATS

The spirituality events presented by Our Lady of Lourdes Wellness Center are wholistic in their approach. Frequently the event is designed with a special theme, but all include opportunities for contemplative prayer, sharing, input on wholistic spirituality, exercise, and movement. Time for solitude and for listening to God's special Word to the individual and to the group is valued and reverenced.

The retreat staff at Our Lady of Lourdes Wellness Center also offers special programs to select groups. If your organization would like to offer a Lourdes Human Wholeness Retreat program please call or e-mail for

details. A limited number of requests are filled each year.

Explore your journey to wholeness with these exciting new offerings at Lourdes Wellness Center. Join us for prayer, reflection, writing, labyrinth walking and creative expression.
