What happens on Kairos retreats?

Answer 1

I just got back from a kairos retreat and it was truly an incredible and life changing experience. The kairos experience cannot be put into words, you simply have to witness it for yourself. Each activity builds upon the previous one and taken out of context seems unextraordinary. Secrecy is often a word associated with kairos, however confidentiality should be used in its place, as it doesn't have a negative connotation. The participants are asked to not share their experience with their peers, for it would ruin the experience of the retreat for them. They are also asked to keep what is shared at kairos, at kairos (however parents, do not be alarmed. If something shared puts someone's well-being in jeopardy then it will be handled after the retreat is over). I am a junior in high school and my faith has never been stronger. I have more self respect, i have closer friendships, and i now long for and desire a relationship with God. I'm sure it depends on who is hosting the retreat, but i want to assure everyone that everything taught at the kairos I went on was in line with what the Catholic Church teaches. I also want everyone to know that they don't brainwash you on kairos (as some people might say).
