THE Lenten Retreat
Good day!  Welcome and thanks for your interest in this "retreat" opportunity for the next several weeks of the season of Lent :)

This invitation is part of a larger effort this year to invite students/faculty/staff to enter into a one on one relationship with a spiritual companion.  Where the focus is on walking with one another on the journey of faith/spirituality/life.  Creates space for questioning, struggling, wrestling with simple every day life to the deepest questions of life.  As well as a space to help one another recognize how God has been working in their life even amidst the craziness of it all.  

In essence - a sharing of life with the growth and development of one’s own personal relationship with God and/or purpose/vocation in life at the core of it all.   The idea is simple - building meaningful relationships!  

That said, for the next several weeks starting the week of Feb 21 and ending during Holy Week - (week leading up to Easter - March 28 - April 4) , you will have the opportunity to meet with a "fellow walker on the journey" to do any of the things listed above. AND, given that it is Lent, there is a reflection booklet with some scripture verses, reflection questions, and prayers for you and your companion to discuss if desired.  

Thanks again for taking the leap!  And going with the flow as we discover new ways of connecting with one another across our campus community during these challenging times!

If you have any questions, you are more than welcome to reach out to any of the staff members here in ministry:

The hope is that you are able to meet with your companion once a week for 30-60 min for the 6 weeks of Lent - With that said (and in our current context) do you have a preference of meeting in person or virtually? *
Knowing that we all have different comfortability levels of sharing about our own lives, do you have a preference about who you might be paired with as a companion?  Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that we will be able to meet these requests but if we are able to make it work with our companions, we will :) *
Thank you once again for taking the leap to intentionally take 30-60 min a week to spend time with another walker on the journey :)  You will be contacted within a couple days of submission of this form to pair you up with your companion to set up times .  In addition you will receive instructions on receiving the reflection booklet - both paper and virtual copies!  Finally, We will have a Kickoff zoom call on Sunday February 21 at 4:30 pm.  You are not "required" to be there for this call, but it will be a quick time to send each other off on our lenten journeys / see who else is participating in this opportunity!  Please indicate below if you are able to make this zoom call!  Hope you have a wonderful day!  Take care and blessings on your journey of lent! *
