In Hungary, each year we hold a vocational course one Saturday a month for six months, ending with a three-day retreat. It is a workshop with intensive inner work and spiritual accompaniment. After the course day, there is an open mass in our house and anyone can participate after registering. After the mass, we eat dinner together.
Every second Thursday we lead an open prayer using Saint Ignatius's method, There is a sharing at the end, and the participants can stay to drink tea and talk.
Every October and April we offer a weekend-long (from Friday evening to Sunday afternoon) retreat for women who would like to learn to pray. We try different types of prayers (for example, imaginative, rhythmic, with an icon, a dance prayer, adoration, contemplation in nature, creative ways, etc.) with silent periods and sharing.
