A Catholic friend of mine has been on these Kairos retreats and touts them as an exceptional experience of social bonding, etc. He hasn’t told me any of the details either.
I don’t deny the social advantages it’s had for myself and others, but participating in its culture of secrecy only bolsters the institution as a whole which in turn drives more of my peers toward nonsense.
The social gains for me, at least in my value set, are far less important than my mental integrity.
