Had something like that once myself -- a high-quality religious retreat known as
Cursillo. Of WW2 Spanish Catholic origin, there's an Instructional Eucharist, sundry lectures/seminars, very large dinners, and all in all an awareness that it seems to pick the best of religious retreats and incorporate this quality stuff into theirs. Cursillistas also end up learning to sing
De Colores and
Las Maņanitas.
It too runs four days... and for a week and more thereafter, I woke in the morning smiling. That is not my usual wakeup face.
It is not vanished wholly from memory... it's about time to attend one of those afterwards-meetings, with a eucharist, that they call Grand Ultreyas again.
