Abide's next retreat will be January 7th-9th, 2022 at Camp Hidden Lake in Dahlonega, GA!
The main thrust of the retreat: encountering God as beauty leads us to vulnerability, and only in that vulnerability do we know His Fatherhood and joy He wants to give us.
What to expect:
Mass and confessions on Friday and Saturday
Eucharistic adoration
Time for personal prayer and reflection
Chanting Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, and Night Prayer from the Liturgy of the Hours (don’t worry if you’re not familiar with it; many people will be learning)
5 talks on what it looks like to encounter God as beauty
Free time in the middle of the Georgia mountains by a lake
