On behalf of The Upper Room and the Desert Southwest Conference of The United Methodist Church, we welcome you to our website featuring information about offerings of the Five Day "Academy For Spiritual Formation."

The first Arizona Five-Day Academy was held in October of 1995. The 10th Arizona Five Day Academy is being scheduled for October 27 through November 1, 2013.

Please browse through this website to find out more about the experience of a Five-Day Academy, as well as some details about our previous 2011 session.

We invite you to join us at the picturesque Redemptorist Renewal Center of Picture Rocks, outside Tucson, the week of October 27 to November 1 for our next Five Day Academy.
