As a retreat facilitator, you design and lead retreats that nurture faith, contemplation, and personal transformation. To do this, you will create sacred spaces for reflection and prayer; guide participants with structures and processes; manage group dynamics; and foster a welcoming, inclusive environment. Balancing structure with the movement of the Spirit and meeting the needs of the group, requires mindfulness of your own self-care to maintain a deep listening stance.
