The Leadership team of the Congregation of Christian Brothers in India spent six days at Sumedha Centre, Jeolikote, as part of their team building exercise and retreat from July 1 to 6.
On the first day, Jose Parappully SDB, PhD, the Director of the Centre helped the Brothers look at the way they function as a team and assess their effectiveness, and challenges facing them in leading the Province at this historic moment.
Days 2 – 4 were spent in a quiet spiritual retreat.
Days 5 and 6 were devoted again to team building exercises. The Brothers were able to assess their strengths and challenges as a team, how they relate to one another and function within the team and how they confront the larger issues facing their Congregation in India
The Brothers found the six days spent at Sumedha Centre “very, very useful” and “refreshing.” The group process was “excellent” and “one of the best things we have done together.” It was a “deep reflective experience” that has helped to “grow in self-awareness,” “enhance team spirit” and “inter-personal relationships” and find clear focus and specific dynamics to re-vitalise their mission and charism.
The climate and the surroundings of Sumedha Centre was also was conducive for quiet reflection and productive work.
Sumedha Centre is available for similar exercises to catholic religious institutes and dioceses.
