Breathe聽takes place at the Guesthouse of the Society of Saint John the Evangelist, in Cambridge. This monastic community is located at walking distance to Harvard Square, the Charles River and Mt. Auburn Cemetery. It is a perfect location to either spend the day in quiet, stroll Cambridge鈥檚 busy streets or get lost in nature.
Breath DIY is聽a self-directed retreat, with deep roots in the Ignatian tradition. On this聽do-it-yourself retreat, each participant will decide what they want to do, where they want to go, and how they are going to do it.聽
Breathe聽DIY聽will start with an initial lunch gathering to meet other participants, and a final lunch gathering to share your experience. Between both gatherings, you will have the opportunity to craft your ideal, personalized half-day retreat and bring it to fruition. More importantly, we will reimburse you for meals, supplies, or transportation costs you accrue that day.
What kind of a retreat? Well, that depends on you鈥� Perhaps what you need is to disconnect, relax and rest; or concously聽look for a silence experience; or to carve out extra time to reflect on a research project with which you are struggling. It is in your hands to determine what to do during that half-day.
If you are intrigued, but at a loss of what you鈥檇 plan for yourself, we are here to help. After you register, we will provide a simple questionnaire to help you verbalize what you need and will be available to answer any questions.
