Hey new Ramblers! Get to know the retreat designed specifically for you- 360!

Hi friends! With October just around the corner ( WHAT?! ), we want to share a bit about the first Unwritten Retreat of the 2023-2024 school year!

Unwritten invites students to consider the story they've been writing in their life so far. Our hope is that students walk away with a better understanding of themselves, their place in the world, and the life stories they are in the process of authoring.

On retreat, students will practice journaling, reflection, and Ignatian discernment and explore topics like wisdom figures, personal strengths, and vocation. The weekend will include talks from student leaders, panels from our lovely staff members, small group time with peers, individual reflection, lots of story-themed activities, and so much fun along the way!

Cost: $50 (includes all meals, snacks, transportation, lodging, etc.)
*Financial aid is available for all our retreats.

Location: Loyola University Retreat and Ecology Center (LUREC)

360 is a great way to meet new ramblers, engage in different activities (ie., reflect via Ignatian roots, play fun games, and spend time in nature! Priority Registration Deadline for our FIRST 360 is September 18th-- a little over a week away~

To wrap up our year at Retreats, we wanted to share some more pictures from our retreats this year that we haven’t posted yet. We are so grateful for all who participated in or led one or more of our programs this year. We’re SO happy we got to be back in person with y’all and cannot wait to see where next year takes us.
