Facilitated by Raj Vijayakumar, SJ

Are you interested in discovering how God may be speaking to you through every day movies? In this day retreat you will find what it means to discover God in the art of drama. We will then take a look at the Hero’s Journey and how this timeless narrative can inform not only the way you look at movies, but also how you look at the story of your own life.

The day will also involve personal times of prayer and meditation. Finally, we will watch together a film that brings to life the many dramatic elements we encountered during the day. It will be a day that is both fun and prayerful.

  • Bring your own lunch
  • Snacks and beverages provided by the Loyola House kitchen
  • Bring a journal and writing implement
