Description
What are you searching for?
Search is a weekend retreat for students who are interested in exploring the ways unconditional love is present in their lives. In particular, this retreat focuses on agape, a selfless and unconditional form of love. The schedule includes story-sharing, activities, and meetings with a peer-led small group throughout the weekend. As an expression of the Augustinian value of caritas, Search strives to engage students of a variety of identities, religious or spiritual expressions, and/or worldviews who are interested in the retreat theme. Open to sophomores, juniors, seniors, and graduate students (first-year undergraduate students by staff permission only).
It is hosted by the Campus Minister for Retreats and Graduate Resident Ministers, and is led by juniors, seniors and grad students who have participated in Search previously.
