End: 2026-05-24
Location: Ignatius House Jesuit Retreat Center

Join Bee at Peace for a retreat designed for Black women seeking rest, grounding, and spiritual clarity. Together, we will journey with St. Ignatius of Loyola and explore how the Principle and Foundation of Ignatian spirituality invites us into deeper truth - about who we are, what we desire for our lives, and how God lovingly desires our flourishing.

The cost is $350 which covers costs for a 2-night retreat with a private room & bath, all meals, and guided reflections throughout the weekend.

The minimum required contribution is $175. We are flexible with the payment arrangements for this retreat. You can call the office at 404 255 0503 if you want to set up payment in installments. Please note that we cannot reserve your space in the interim. Thank you for your understanding.
