Retreat Director
Ms. Madielene Viernes
"Retreats are a wonderful way to pull ourselves away from our hectic lives. It should be a regular and consistent life practice. It opens up our hearts and brings us back to ourselves and God. It is a gift that allows us to deepen our physical, emotional and spiritual presence and awareness. Just like massage is healing for the body, a retreat provides the healing that is needed for our hearts and minds."
