| Among Assumption Iloilo personnel, December used to be the retreat month. Well, we're always excited about the retreat because it's the only time for us to somehow get a different perspective on life and on our chosen path. |
 |
| But for me, at least, it's my 'lagaw' time. Eyebrows, please! Don't take my concept of 'lagaw' as something negative. Lagaw for me is purposeful. I don't just go to places and let loose. I wander. I observe. I appreciate. And most importantly, I learn. Everything is recorded in my blog. |
 |
| This 'Faculty and Staff Retreat' was my first in Assumption. It was held in Trappist Monastery in Jordan, Guimaras. The place is officially called 'The Abbey of the Philippines' and is run by the Monks of the Cistercian Order. |
 |
| Our retreat master was Sr. Mary Fidelis Estrada, RA, former Principal of Assumption Iloilo. Sr. Nilda Hechanova, RA, the current principal, was also with us. Rene Secular, the school's campus minister assisted Sr. Fidelis during the sessions. |
 |
| The two-day retreat was a big help for me. After the different sessions that we had had, I started to understand perspectives that maybe I hadn't considered before. Slowing down time allowed me to think a little bit differently about the way I treat myself and my colleagues. |
