The wonderful team at  Virtue Ministry have put together a mini-retreat opportunity for you! We here at Anima are always happy to promote anything that helps to focus our lives on Christ and learning His purpose for you.

We’re all getting used to living a busy kind of lifestyle with back to back appointments, opportunities, events and activities. When the financial year ends, it comes as a shock when we realise Advent is closing in, Christmas is around the corner, and that means New Year is not far off. The tail end of the year is approaching and we all know how crazy that time of year becomes. Now is the ideal time to just stop for a bit, retreat and REBOOT, so you can finish the year strong. We have put together a few ideas here for a 3-hour retreat from the rest of your life. 

We recommend you do the retreat on a day not already occupied by work or study, or back to back commitments. For most of you, that will be a weekend, but for some it will be a day during the week. Just pick a day. Then pick a time, and we recommend that if you’re someone who likes to go to Mass during the week, or you do this on a Sunday, Mass is not part of your 3hrs. This is just to minimise distractions that might occur after Mass and maximising your one-on-one time with God. Plan when your 3 hrs will take place, don’t make it when you’re usually exhausted like a Friday straight after work. Make sure you’ve had a decent meal and keep a bottle of water with you, even make a cuppa if you like. Remember, the aim is to minimise distractions.
