Each year, thousands of people seek personal renewal and enlightenment through spiritual retreats. But for those who are new to spiritual retreats, there are many questions: Why do people make retreats? What types of retreats are available? How should I prepare for a spiritual retreat? How can I sustain the retreat experience once it's over?
These questions and many more are thoughtfully answered in Going on Retreat by Margaret Silf, a spirituality expert and frequent spiritual retreat leader. Also discussed are the costs of various types of retreats, the amenities that are provided, and a complete description of one of the most popular retreat formats, the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola.
