An ACTS Retreat is a place where hearts are sure of each other.

 It is a place of confidence.

 It is a place where we tear off the mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defense and where we pour out the unreserved communications of

full and confiding hearts.

 It is the place where expressions of tenderness gush out without sensation of awkwardness

and without any dread of ridicule.

 It is a place where we speak freely knowing that our words will go no further.
