Guided Retreat for Religious
by Fr. Alban D’Mello, SJ or Fr. Philip Terrasa, SJ
God works directly with every human person. One needs to train a discerning heart, a sensitive spirit, and enlivened body to receive the direct communication from God and act upon it in one’s daily life. It is also a unique opportunity to enter the unexplored realms of one’s existence and find them mould us deeply in the image and likeness of His Son.

Transactional Analysis
Transactional Analysis is a wonderful tool to understand our complex human behaviour. In a simple and lucid language it gives us a framework that tells the story of what we truly are, what we most desire, how we relate and choose our life-paths, etc. In this 2 day workshop using experiential learning you will be able to look at yourself, your interactions and life decisions and it will provide you with an opportunity to decide and redesign your thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
