Retreats

Fresh Retreat is our first-year offering created to begin or continue your story with God in college and find faith buddies to journey with you. It is a time to reflect, pray, play, build community, and bring intentionality into your faith and relationships.

Questions? Contact Candace Williams at williamsc2@gonzaga.edu.

This overnight retreat is an invitation into a liminal space in the wilderness to personally experience "the Holy Mystery" and practice contemplative Christian spirituality. While tent-camping on the shores of a serene lake, hiking on mountain trails, visiting an ancient tree sanctuary, and roasting smores around a campfire, you will have an opportunity to reflect both individually and in small groups on how the “quiet whisper” of God is speaking to you.

Questions? Please contact Ben Chu at chu@gonzaga.edu.

PAUSE! Before you sign up for this retreat please read a brief explanation of what Search is:

Search’s mission is to share and experience the love of Jesus in community. The Search Retreat is Christian-based—the talks are centered around God’s expression of love through the person of Jesus. Anyone, regardless of faith tradition, is welcome on Search, but we want to be upfront that the love of Jesus will be a central theme on this retreat. That being said, we have had many people from varying faith backgrounds (or no faith background) come on this retreat and have a positive experience. We know that past Searchers say “You have to go on Search before you graduate!” and then they don’t tell you why or what it’s about. Hopefully the above explanation demystifies what Search is a little and it gives you a bit more information to decide whether or not you want to go on this retreat. Search is not intended to be a bucket-list item, but a time for you to explore who you are and how God longs to extend love to you.

If you have any questions about this, please contact Ally Clapp-Huff: clapp@gonzaga.edu

Thank you!

Please note: Search registration closes 3 weeks before each retreat.
