Last weekend, I had my LASARET retreat. Wasn't really looking forward coz of all the negative feedback but the experience turned out to be very fulfilling indeed.
After hearing the experiences of friends and acquaintances from upper batches and those already through with LASARET, I didn’t receive a very favorable response. However, after going through with the retreat myself, I can sincerely say that I was genuinely moved, touched and inspired. I also learnt that I should take other people’s advice with a grain of salt hehe...
My favorite part of the retreat was the Solidarity Meal. College life, for me, has been for the most part, an emotional roller coaster ride. During the Meal, it really hit home that my life is after all, MY life. I can’t subsititute for another person’s life. I have to accept the goodies and not -the -so –good aspects of my life and strive to be the best I can be. The fruits, the bitter herbs and the sweets all bear a poignant resemblance to life’s mixed experiences.
I am glad that I can say that even though I'm a practicing Muslim, attending a Christocentric retreat has rejuvenated my relationship with God. Now I engage in a regular, healthy dialog with Allah.
Some photos I took of the place... So scenic. I'm jealous the nuns get to stay their 24/7 :P
