Navigating the New Year: A Retreat for College Students
January 10, 2026 @ 4:00 pm

Navigating the challenging waters of our world today calls us to cultivate skills and habits to ground ourselves in what matters most, orient ourselves in alignment with our values, set a course with hope, and persevere on the journey with joy and humor in community with others. On this retreat you will:
- Spend time in silence and prayer while building connection through shared reflection sessions and in conversation over delicious meals.
- Nourish a sense of wonder and awe immersed in the natural beauty at Mercy by the Sea through guided meditation on the beach, walking the nature path through the woodlands, and witnessing the abundant wildlife that share these grounds.
- Explore opportunities for creative expression including journaling, painting, poetry, and art.
- Foster skills of discernment, communication and reflection while deepening your capacity for reflection, empathy, and compassion.
Before heading back to campus for the spring semester, gather with fellow college students to reflect, restore and renew your spirit for the year ahead.
