The Multifaith Chaplaincy offers occasional retreats in a variety of formats for all who seek time out to renew their spirits. Optimally, a retreat is not a "stolen luxury" in a busy life or an "irresponsible escape" from a politically oppressive world. It can unveil an experience of the Holy which may become the seedbed of renewed faith, wisdom, courage, and activism. Ideally, a retreat will also become a rule and not an exception; its effects can spill over into daily life, creating a hunger for regular periods of prayer and renewal.

Examples of past and possible future retreats include:

• Masculinity Retreat
