## Spiritual Retreats: L.I.F.T.

Each retreat opportunity offers something different to its participants, but all provide a quiet space for self-reflection and faith discovery. We welcome people of all backgrounds and experiences to join a retreat program and meet new friends who may share similar or different views on life. Retreats are HELD IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS.

Experience joy, love, laughter, goodness, faith, healing, wisdom, friendship and good food at one of our L.I.F.T. retreats:

L.I.F.T. Kairos 

Kairos is the hallmark retreat at Manhattan University, and a great introduction to examining your relationship with God, self and others. All students are welcome to experience a weekend of great fellowship, with amazing food, small and large group conversations, and beautiful music in a beautiful setting.

Hiking Retreat 

Join CMSA for a day-long getaway to Bear Mountain. During this Hiking Retreat, students explore the intersection of spiritual wellness and physical wellness, all while reading and reflecting on the words Scripture, Mary Oliver, and Henry David Thoreau.

I loved the L.I.F.T. retreat talks and how they served as a space to allow everybody else to be vulnerable. It made it possible for us to get closer and form new friendships.
