It is often that the busyness and noise around us and in our lives get in the way of time spent in self-reflection, prayer, and meditation on the things of God. This exercise (worth up to 50 points) is an opportunity for you to step away from life’s distractions and into God’s presence. Sometime before the last module, please set aside a block of time (minimum 4 hours) to experience your own personal, spiritual retreat.
The purpose of this exercise is for you to spend time thinking about your foundational spiritual presuppositions and reflecting upon how they shape and inform your life. During your personal, spiritual retreat, you may choose to spend time doing all or some of the following activities:
Prayer, Lectio Divina (reading Scripture aloud), meditation, Journaling, Bible study, time in silence, worship, fasting, etc.
For your retreat, I encourage you to find a place where you will be able to spend uninterrupted time in thought and reflection. It is actually really easy to cheat yourself with this kind of an assignment. Retreating while cleaning house, washing the car, or walking the dog is not really what I have in mind here. Take the opportunity to escape the noise and busyness. This will likely be difficult because we are often self-programmed to always be doing or accomplishing something. And, I am sensitive to the reality that all of you are very busy people. The only way this will work is if you intentionally create time and space to do this for you and God. Come away to a quiet place, a park, a walking trail, a garden, an empty church pew, prayer chapel, etc. and enjoy your retreat.
For this exercise, you will create a PowerPoint presentation (minimum 10 slides include text explanation and pictures) to share with the class the where, when, what, of the main things (2-3 minimum) that you learned/experienced during your worldview retreat.
