We will soon be resuming SCHOOL RETREATS / REFLECTION DAYS for Primary and Secondary school students.  We welcome groups of up to150 students, from 6th class up to Leaving Certificate. The Facilitators come from a variety of youth work backgrounds: all  have undergone graduate and some have post-graduate studies in Spirituality, Theology,  Relationships and Sexuality, Communication, Addictions Studies, Mental health etc. Through reflection,  discussion, meditation, games, students are helped to explore their hopes and dreams as well as their difficulties.  Students say they feel affirmed and restored, during what is often the most bonding day of their school years. Special themes can be tailored to meet group requirements.
