Schedule of Retreats

Consistent with the Ignatian tradition, the Creighton University Retreat Center offers directed and preached multi-day retreats. These retreats are based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Silence is not the focus of the retreat, but it is a necessary component of a fruitful retreat. God speaks to us in many ways, and at times God speaks to us through our conversations with others. 

Some of the reasons others have made these retreats include:

  • To deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ
  • A desire to spend quality time in prayer and reflection
  • To learn more about yourself in relationship to God and to others
  • In preparation to make a significant decision
  • As a response to the movement of the Spirit

In addition to these Ignatian retreats, our staff can create a customized individual or group retreat. We can work with your team to meet your spiritual goals. 

Directed Ignatian Retreats

Directed 8-day and 30-day retreats based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius and guided by our directors are offered throughout the year in hopes of meeting individual schedules. Contact us with your preferred dates.

View the 8-day FAQ and description. This also applies to a 30-day Retreat.

Private retreats of any duration with Spiritual Direction are available by request. It is recommended to begin with a 3 or 4-day silent retreat before the 8-day retreat.
