“The desert will lead you to your heart where I will speak” Early Christians often sought desert solitude to hear the voice of Christ and discover what is they are called to do. The Arizona Five Day Academy for Spiritual Formation continues that tradition by gathering September 18-23, 2022 at a beautiful retreat setting (http://desertrenewal.org/). This year’s theme “Journey into the Heart of Christ: Spiritual Healing and Justice” will be developed by faculty presenters Vance P. Ross and Hwa-Young Chong.

The retreat is open to lay and clergy; for more information about the Academy, click here https://academy.upperroom.org/

“Journey into the Heart of Christ: Spiritual Healing & Justice” is the theme for this year’s Five-Day Academy for Spiritual Formation at the Redemptorist Renewal Center in Tucson. In a divided Church, we seldom bring the prophetic and the contemplative dimensions together. This retreat suggests the path to Christ needs both. Following a health-giving rhythm of worship, silence and community, the Academy is a proven retreat model, developed by The Upper Room in 1983 https://academy.upperroom.org/. The dates are September 18-23, 2022, and the faculty presenters are Vance Ross and Hwa-Young Chong. For more information and to register, click here www.az5dayacademy.org
