Metanoia
By Megan McKelvey, Class of 2019
The Metanoia Retreat came at a time when I needed it most. With personal struggles adding up in my life, I was finding it difficult to open my heart to others. Everything changed after I witnessed the generosity people had to offer on Metanoia. I thought it would be like any other weekend retreat: I could escape the stress of school, rediscover my relationship with God, and make new friends. While all these things happened, Metanoia was more than I expected. I was challenged to face the problems I had been ignoring for so long. With the help of my small group, I opened my heart and began to heal.
Metanoia is a powerful experience for anyone wanting to have a change of heart. Whether you are looking for a
weekend away from school or creating deeper connections with other people, you can be sure to find it. I have witnessed Metanoia touch peoples’ hearts in different ways. Take a chance and see what it can do for you.
