SUMMARY:The Seven Mansions of the Interior Castle
DESCRIPTION:REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS CLOSED\nWhat can we learn fro
 m a sixteenth century Spanish mystic\, Roman Catholic Saint\,\nCarmelite
  nun and author?\n\nJoin us for a special retreat weekend July 29-31\, 2
 022\, offering sacred space and time to explore The Seven Mansions of Te
 resa of Avila’s Interior Castle. Inspired by St. Teresa's vision of th
 e soul as a diamond in the shape of a castle containing seven mansions\,
  we will explore the stages that we go through as we are seeking to know
  our God.\n\nTeresa of Avila is one of Christianity’s great teachers. 
 The Seven Mansions of the Interior Castle is her final work and one of t
 he most profound literary works on Christian prayer. Prayer stood at the
  center of Teresa’s teaching\; she considered a life of prayer in term
 s of love and deepening relationship with God. Together we will reflect 
 on the light of Teresa’s timeless insights into the human soul\, its j
 ourney toward God\, and how Teresa’s teaching is relevant to our perso
 nal contemporary spiritual journey today.\n\nPeople of all ages and in a
 ll stages of spirituality are welcome to this retreat\, which will inclu
 de large group presentations\, small group discussions\, periods of refl
 ection\, and prayer in community. Doors will open at 5 pm Friday night\,
  and the retreat will begin with dinner at 6 pm. This retreat will concl
 ude before lunchtime on Sunday. \n\nThe Marianist Retreat &amp\; Confer
 ence Center is located on 120 acres adjacent to the Meramec River and fe
 atures miles of forest trails\, cliffs\, streams\, grotto\, meadows and 
 a sculpture garden. Every attendee will enjoy a private room with its ow
 n bathroom and shower. We are also famous for our delicious meals. Conta
