The Imago Dei Clinical Retreat is a life changing, indeed character changing experience.  Therapants engage in individual sessions, group sessions, peer discussions, seminars and, if so desired, spiritual exercises (including daily mass).  Psychiatric medication management is also provided with the aim of amelioration (reduction). Men and women attend on separate occasion, as do clergy and religious.

Retreats vary from a few days to a few weeks depending on the particular group of retreatants.  Retreats are offered throughout the year once a cohort is filled.  Please e-mail the Institute to apply and include age, gender, and issues to be addressed. 

Marital couples stay at the Imago Dei Institute for three to four days. The Becoming One in Christ retreat is for those couples experiencing severe distress either between themselves or in their families. Dr. Dilsaver conducts this clinical retreat which includes individual and marital psychotherapy, psychodrama, educational and cultural presentations, couple's recreational activities, and daily Mass, Adoration, Rosary, and other devotions.
