Need help with time management or study strategies?

No appointment needed; just stop by and let us help you get ahead.

You are invited to join us for an off-campus retreat during the mid-semester break, Thursday, Oct. 9, through Saturday, Oct. 11.

These retreats are thoughtfully designed for a small group of 10-12 students and will take place off campus. During the retreat, participants can expect to enter into a slower pace to engage in various spiritual practices that refresh their mind, body, and spirit. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to create connections with fellow students and staff, fostering a sense of community and support.

You must fill out this application to express interest in attending. You will receive a confirmation email to let you know you’ve been selected to attend, and then you will secure your spot with a $20 deposit. The $20 covers food, lodging and transportation. Sign-ups are open until Sept. 25 or until all spots are filled.

Contact spirituallife@georgefox.edu if you have questions.
