Deepening your prayer life and learning to recognize God’s voice
Dispelling common misconceptions about discernment
Seeing your life through God’s eyes
Identifying obstacles that keep you from clarity
Spending time with others on the same path
Spiritual direction and vocation testimonies
Small, intimate retreat setting
