Siena Hall | Nashville, TN
This retreat is open to current university students.
The world, academia, and popular culture offer a form of identity theory programming that is brilliantly marketed and strangely appealing yet ultimately self-contradictory, confusing, and less than satisfactory.
Meanwhile, the Catholic (kata-holos: "according to the whole") Tradition presents an understanding of identity as vast and as deep as human life itself - encompassing the person, the body, the mind, the spirit, the heart, human choice, suffering, sin, the workings of grace, and the reality of being loved and given a name by a God who knows you - and this presentation is not only consistent and utterly compelling but also faithful to the genuine intuitions of every human heart.
Step away from the daily rush of life to pray and study the riches of the Church’s intellectual tradition with the Thomistic Institute. The retreat will have seminars and discussions framed by the traditional elements of a retreat (Mass, adoration, the Divine Office, etc.).
