A spiritual retreat is the most effective way of making progress along God's path. To make a retreat is to agree to break away from the routine of daily life to allow yourself to be challenged by God, in a prayerful environment.

There are two forms of retreat: the personal retreat, where the retreatant follows a personal programme, and a facilitated retreat, where the retreatant follows a programme guided by a spiritual director.

There are many places where you can experience a spiritual retreat. Here are some suggested locations:
