We are happy to invite you to the OTTD 2026 Formation Programs and Retreats! June 18 Understanding Transitions | Online Life is marked by transitions—moments between what was and what is yet to come. These liminal spaces can be disorienting, but they are also where God shapes and renews us. This retreat invites participants to reflect on the stages of human development through the lens of faith, guided by the insights of Erik Erikson’s psychosocial theory. July 18-Aug 29 BOOK RETREAT: Vibrant Ageing | Online Growing older is not a fading, but a flowering. Inspired by Wilkie Au’s Aging with Wisdom, this book retreat invites participants to see ageing as a sacred journey toward deeper meaning, compassion, and grace. It is a time to harvest the wisdom of experience and discover the vitality of spirit that continues to grow with age. September 12 Self Paced Retreat: Discernment, Hearing the Call Beneath the Noise | Online In a world filled with countless voices and choices, discernment is the art of listening deeply for God’s guidance. Rooted in the wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola, this retreat offers practical and prayerful tools for seeking clarity in the midst of life’s complexity. Discernment is not only about decision-making, it is about cultivating intimacy with God who speaks within our hearts. This retreat creates a safe space to practice awareness, reflect on choices, and grow in freedom. Together, we will learn how to discern God’s will and walk with greater peace, trust, and courage. September 26-October 3 @ Cherimoya Retreat Center, Calamba, Laguna Let God Write Your Story Life is a sacred narrative authored by God. This 8-day retreat invites participants to pause, reflect, and rediscover how God has been writing their story through moments of joy, loss, courage, and grace. Inspired by The Designated Route, it is a contemplative journey of self-awareness and faith.

VIBRANT AGEING: 6 weeks of praying the book and neeting once a week for only P5000. Here what one participant had to say: The vibrant aging small group retreat sessions we had was transformative. The book was eye opening, changing my mindset to be more positive and more accepting to old age. I learned to replace fear with gratitude. The discussions, prayers and meditation were particularly impactful. The sharing of our anecdotes made me experience self awareness. I felt a deep connection with Cynthia and through her stories, I was reminded I was not alone in my aging process. www.spiritualformation.center.

Belonging and Uniqueness
As we know belonging is one of our basic needs, and I have come to realise that the need to belong, can be so powerful.
Musings On Sacred Spaces
Sacred spaces are not dependent on one particular religion. In fact, often sacred spaces are universal.
Dispositioning: Entering the Holy of Holies
A day or two before the start of our retreat, we are encouraged to prepare and disposition ourselves. Entering into a retreat in silence is

A series on stages of life
Our Retreats are based on the Ignatian method of recollection. It incorporates silence, with a rhythm of prayer, art expressions as form of expressing what is happening in us in prayer. It also include accompaniment with a spiritual director who helps deepen what is already
happening in the prayer time of the retreatant.
What do you call spiritual practices that do not fit in with courses and retreats, to
me it was obvious- retreats plus of course. During pandemic we were required to meet the needs of our participants.
