This Professional Development day will break open the psychological processes at work during the student reflection days/ retreats so that we better understand ‘why’ we do what we do leading to a more effective experience for all. The core elements of a good reflection day/retreat will be examined and a wide variety of resources looked at. The day will look at;

• The role of story
• The role of the mentor     
• Ritual
• Symbol     
• Ice-breakers
• God time
• Sacred Word

Time will be spent looking at the different types of retreat; the reflection day, the twilight retreat, the theme retreat, the overnight retreat, the street retreat, etc.
