Retreats
A major focus of Kairos Ministries,
Inc. programs is weekend retreats aimed at helping people
experience God in a deeper way. We emphasize inner healing and
spiritual growth experiences, guided by the Holy Spirit.
Depositing truth, we teach God’s life-giving principles, helping people understand
the nature of the spiritual journey and what it is that God has in mind
for us.
In our retreats, something special
happens that often leads to people having direct encounters with
the living God. Because they see something new with the
eyes of the heart, the learning process becomes a life-giving
process that makes them more spiritually alive.
Safe, Nurturing Place
Our retreats are designed to facilitate holistic growth and
healing experiences in a safe, open, and nurturing atmosphere
that makes possible the “Kairos moment” (see
What Kairos Means). In this atmosphere people feel safe to
explore and experience their emotions and thoughts. Honest
expression of painful feelings is encouraged. We take people to
Jesus Christ so they may receive something more from Him.
Interactive, Experiential Learning
Kairos Ministries retreats combine
biblical teaching with interactive, experiential learning. We
utilize creative exercises to help people get out of their
rational, ego point of view and down into their hearts. Breaking
through to a deeper level enables them to receive revelation and
understanding from God.
Through a variety of activities, people are helped to interact
with the life-giving truths and principles. These may include
drawing, attitude work, emotional release work, dream
processing, journaling, sharing, meditation, affirmation,
etc.—as the Holy Spirit leads. Sometimes we reflect on what the
experiences have meant to us.
Relational Learning
Retreats often allow group processes that encourage dynamic
learning in a relational environment. In the presence of others
who provide mutual support and encouragement, we can let down
our defenses, allowing more open communication. We begin to
experience ourselves, others, and God in new ways.
The group environment enables us to discover the meaning of our
experiences in the context of connection with others. We believe
strongly that we heal in community. Our lives are touched by the
interaction with other people seeking more from God.
