Join us for a weekend retreat to explore the future of Christianity and how you can be part of its transformation. The primary goal of this retreat is to inspire attendees to envision and actively contribute to a more vibrant, relevant, and spiritually alive Christianity for the future. Bro. Don Bisson will delve into the complex landscape of modern Christianity and its current challenges and potential for renewal.
During this retreat he will be addressing:
• The rise of fundamentalism and its impact on religious expression
• The emergence of regressive theological trends
• The resurgence of medieval rituals in contemporary practice
• The concerning alignment of certain Christian factions with far-right ideologies and authoritarian figures.
Rather than viewing these issues as insurmountable obstacles, we will explore opportunities for growth and renewal within the Christian tradition, examining how these challenges can serve as catalysts for:
• Deepening spiritual maturity
• Cultivating a more nuanced and inclusive theology
• Embracing the transformative power of grace.
By engaging with these critical issues, participants will be empowered to play a role in shaping a faith tradition that remains true to its core values while adapting to the complexities of the modern world.
Date/Time: Fri., Oct 10 at 5 pm thru Sunday, Oct. 12, 2025 at 1 pm.

About the Presenter:
Brother Don Bisson, FMS is, first and foremost, a spiritual director and is widely respected as a specialist in the training, formation and supervision of spiritual directors. A Marist brother who has graduate degrees in liturgy, spirituality, and transpersonal psychology, and earned his Doctor of Ministry at the Pacific School of Religion specializing in Spiritual Direction and Jungian Psychology. With more than 100 live audio recordings available, Brother Bisson is internationally recognized for his lectures, workshops, and retreats on the interrelationship of Christian spirituality and Jungian psychology.
His soulful humanity makes Don attractive to the hundreds of people who find their way to virtually everything he offers. He is a man committed to "walking the talk." From this commitment comes a grounded wisdom and an authentic humility. His gems of wisdom have been formed in the heat and pressure of the deep underground passage of his own healing journey in God. Compassion for what it means to be human is the result, alongside clarity about the compelling call of the Spirit to "wake up" and participate consciously in God's purposes in our world. This waking up is not an achievement but a process that invites him–and us–into a transformation that is ongoing.
