ABOUT US
St. Jude Retreat Ministries host life changing retreat conferences for those in need of a brief time-out from the day-to-day routine of life. Our professional instructors are available to offer spiritual guidance in helping participants to gain a clearer perception dealing with challenging life issues including emotional distress and addiction problems.
This ministry is a state registered non-profit charitable organization. Our instructors include a former clinical supervisor for the world renowned University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) with over 40 years' experience in the field of behavioral health.
Our name is in honor of our patron saint, St. Jude Thaddeus, the famous mystic and prayer intercessor for seemingly hopeless causes.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to serve the needs of local communities and to reach out to those in despair.
BENEFITS OF OUR CONFERENCE RETREATS
A retreat is a "time-out" from our routine day-to-day living. It is a time to quiet our minds from distractions and the things that clutter it. A quiet and still mind can see what is in front of it, whereas a noisy and cluttered mind is too burdened to do so.
OUR APPROACH
Our approach is unique. Participates will learn how a better quality of life is possible through the highly successful and proven GOLDEN THREAD METHOD. This Far Eastern practice will allow participants to trace back to some of the causes of emotional distress and addiction problems, which usually stem from core negative beliefs. Some of these beliefs have been stored and replayed in the subconscious part of the mind. Unfortunately, bad habits can become routine.
With special meditation practices and positive affirmations, a better and more peaceful quality of life is possible. A new reality can emerge with restoration of thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Our professional instructors will help participants to learn how to detach from these negative emotions that are causing distress.
SIMPLICITY IS OUR GOAL
Simplicity is our goal. Not everything needs to be figured out as we learn to no longer fight against life, but rather flow with it. A good example of this is trying to swim out of a rip-current in the ocean. The more a person fights the current, the weaker they will become, and possibly drown as a result. Lifeguards advise not to fight it, but rather to flow with it to safety. A valuable lesson in life can be learned by this example. As problems occur in our day-to-day living, we learn to be flexible and to go with the natural flow of life and trust that a solution will arise in divine order. Valuable energy is conserved by practicing this.
OUR BELIEF IN A DIVINE POWER
We believe in one God, one power, the source of all that is, that is above all and through all (Ephesians 4:6). In God, we live and move and have our being, we are His offspring (Acts 17:28).
Our goal is to help participants learn how to maximize the spiritual power that exist within so that a more productive and fulfilling life emerges.
