2-Night Retreat: Care for the Whole Person – Ignatian Spirituality and Yoga

Directed by Mark Dannenfelser, MA, LPC and Catherine Crosby, MA, RYT
Retreat assistants: Marian Monahan, BA and Anita Hall, MA, CCC-SLP

Cura personalis is a Latin phrase which means “care for the whole person”. This 2-night retreat is designed to do just that through prayer and meditation, movement and silence, rest, and delicious healthy food. Yoga sessions will be designed for all levels by our Registered Yoga Instructors, Catherine and Mark.

This is a silent retreat. Guests are expected to maintain a sacred silence throughout the retreat, including at meals, unless otherwise noted.
