At Eastern Point, you can experience a range of retreats from a single day of prayer to the Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius of Loyola for 30 days. The majority of our retreats are 8 days and offer you the opportunity to indulge yourself in the peace, serenity and magnificent natural beauty of our surroundings. One of the hallmarks of a retreat at Eastern Point is the silence that enables you to hear the sounds of the ocean as well as the voice of God throughout creation. For most retreats, you are offered the services of an experienced spiritual director who will accompany you during these days of silence and contemplation.
​
If you are interested in making a shorter retreat during a scheduled longer retreat (such as a 3-day retreat during an 8-day retreat), know that priority is given to applicants intending to make the full retreat. Requests for shorter retreats will only be accommodated if space allows. Contact: Fr William Campbell S.J.

​IGNATIAN YEAR  Between May 20, 2021, and July 31, 2022, the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) worldwide celebrated a special “year” that commemorated significant events in the life of St. Ignatius Loyola. May 20, 2021, marked the 500th anniversary of the “cannonball” moment, when Ignatius was wounded defending a fortress in Pamplona, Spain, an event that began his conversion journey. March 12, 2022, marked the 400th anniversary of the canonization of both St. Ignatius and Jesuit companion St. Francis Xavier. July 31, 2022, the annual liturgical feast day of St. Ignatius, brought this “Ignatian” year to a close. For more information about this year, click the link below: ignatian_year.pdf
