Preparing for the retreat

You'll get more out of the day if you can do all or some of the preparation. 
If you can't get to it, that's fine. The day should be useful on its own.

 

Vestry self assessment - Have the vestry complete the self assessment and have a conversation about the results. If you don't get to it before the retreat day it may be something to do later this year.

Arrangement of the physical space

We will do several spiritual exercises during the day. Each will involve movement to stations in the room. There will also be a number of small group conversations as we reflect on the exercises. This means that the space has to be organized to allow for easy movement. So there will be no tables to sit at in the room. Please come expecting to move around in the space for at least two exercises and as we go to small groups for conversation.
