EXPLANATION
A retreat is a time for withdrawing from the everyday activities of life, and for focussing on the spiritual dimension of life. Retreats have various formats and their length can vary from a few hours up to a few months. The sign is formed by making the sign of the cross on closed lips. It reflects a long-standing practice of keeping silent during times of retreat[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1590759400194{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #f8f8f8 !important;}” el_class=”sign-layout-2″][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]DISTRIBUTION
