Retreat

Yesterday we went to Maynooth College For our retreat. I wasn't sure what it would be like because I heard different things about it. We got the bus to the college in the morning and when we got there we walked through the campus to an older building. We got in and organised the chairs in the room into a circle and the the people who were doing our retreat introduced themselves. We started off playing some games where we all linked together and people had to come around and drag everyone apart and a few others. That took up the first part of the morning then we had a ten minute break and went back. For the second part of it we all got into groups and were given different questions to talk about, When we had talked about them we all got back into a circle and they went around and asked one person in every group to talk about their question and answer, then they went around the room and asked if anyone else had an opinion and that went on for the rest of the day because everyone had a lot to say. Then we had half an hour for lunch and we walked to Starbucks and around the college and when we got back we continued the questions. It was a really fun day, not what I expected at all and I'd like to do it again.
