I think of secluded, environmental-friendly places (I attended one held at an outskirt ranch- just beautiful); silence and lots of it; abstinence of food; simplicity; Bible-studying; and me-time to ponder on. If you attended last semester's retreat, you would have an idea that almost all mentioned above is not really like our retreat *wink*.
Although we held the retreat at the GYM in SFX, it was by all means not secluded. There wasn't very much golden moments of silence. (except for Taize Prayers at the beginning) Food? Oh, there were boxes of pizzas lying around... meaning there wasn't a lack of food. ;) But of course there were discussions encircling the Bible :)
Personally I came to the retreat thinking it'd be a little dull...(How much fun can a college retreat be?) But found myself wishing extended time to the retreat. We learnt a little bit more about ourselves and our fellow friends, just like we do every CSS meeting :)
