Interfaith Retreat
Our retreat will cultivate Beloved Community through storytelling with an interfaith lens.
We invite Loyola students of all religious and non-religious backgrounds to engage in meaningful dialogue with other students for a time of sharing and learning. Over the course of our morning together students, participants and administrators of different faith traditions will share stories and reflect on their unique faith experiences. We will offer safe and empowering spaces of equality where all can freely express their truths and their needs, with the goal of celebrating religious diversity, while building bridges across traditions. This retreat will provide students with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of both the religious experiences of others and their own religious identities.

Cost
The cost of the Interfaith Retreat is $75.
All payments can be made by credit card through The Bridge. The fee covers transportation, lodging, meals, and all other expenses for the weekend. The entire cost of a weekend retreat for one student is $190.00, however, Campus Ministry subsidizes $120+ of the retreat cost per student.
Full payment is due at least 14 days prior to the Retreat (some retreats require earlier payment). If you have not paid, you forfeit your spot on the retreat. $25 of your registration fee is a non-refundable deposit. If you cancel your registration by contacting the Retreat Director more than one week in advance, you will be refunded your fee minus the deposit. If you cancel less than one week in advance, your full payment is non-refundable.
Scholarships
Loyola believes that cost should never prohibit a student from experiencing a retreat. Generous donors provide scholarships for any and all students who require support to attend a retreat. If you need scholarship assistance, please contact Saima Sitwat at ssitwat@loyola.edu
