With our gentle approach, one feels safe, supported and able to unfold. Freedom to be oneself, and a family spirit is felt.

Restorative Catholic offers retreats for men and women coming from religious life. These retreats provide a very special opportunity for healing and restoration in a safe and supportive community.

We use both somatic exercises and parts work (IFS) for the healing of the whole person, taking our inspiration from THA and Grief to Grace retreats.

There are opportunities for fellowship, sharing meals together and enjoying lighter moments of recreation, exercise or gentle walks outdoors.

Since healing is geared toward fully living, we also incorporate Catholic coaching, guiding the participants through different assessments: Personality, Motivation and Strengths. Through this guidance the participants gain a deeper appreciation of their personal dignity and unique gifts and also their fellow retreatants.

There are also times for prayer, daily Mass and quiet reflection and meditation. This is truly a balanced, integrated approach, where the healing of the whole person is facilitated.

“It is so amazing that this kind of healing did not take place in my monastery! The charity and family spirit has opened me to appreciate my true self and a desire to help others believe in the God of LOVE!” (one retreatant)

“I have been on several healing retreats, and this one far surpasses the others. It has been a long time since I have experienced a felt sense of safety and love, as I have here. ” (one retreatant)

These longer retreats give time to develop bonds within the community, and the time to change patterns.
