Personal Retreats
Poustinia Days: The Russian word poustinia means “desert,” and refers to a simple room where one goes alone to fast, pray, and commune with God. It was popularized by Servant of God Catherine De Hueck Doherty, founder of Madonna House. The poustinia is especially recommendable for those on the front lines of ministry, and worth considering on a monthly basis. Spiritual direction is available if desired. Contact the center to schedule a day, or a few days alone with the Lord!

Basic Directions in Native Ministry
Basic Directions is a 7-day institute for personnel who are beginning or wanting to learn about Native ministry. The institute features Native and non-Native presenters, who have extensive ministerial experience with and among Native Americans.
There will be 30 hours of class work associated with the workshop covering topics that include Native culture, missiology, anthropology, liturgy,
catechetics, deacon ministry, health issues, and principles of recovery using AA. Although the institute will take place in a Lakota setting, it will develop basic principles of inculturation that can be used in approaching any culture.
The next BDI will be in June of 2023.
Please notify the center if you are interested in participating in this course.
