Model for an Overnight Spiritual Retreat Model for an Overnight Spiritual Retreat Preparation Spiritual retreats can take on many forms.
Participants can be a group from a church, an inter-faith community, friends or a sole individual.
Bring only what you need and what will enhance your time with God. The first requirement for prayer is silence. People of prayer are people of silence. Don't go on your retreat filling your external or your internal world with noise. When we are silent we allow the Spirit to dictate the direction of our thoughts and prayers.
