Overview

Description
Come away for a sacred time apart from your daily routine to renew your spirit and rest from everyday demands.

Retreatants will gather together for opening and closing reflections led by Vicky Curtiss. In between, each person will spend personal time as they wish in silence and solitude. Options include walks along the lakeshore or the labyrinth outdoors, enjoying art supplies in the Creativity Room, silent reflection in the Meditation Room, journaling, reading, or resting in your private bedroom while someone else does the cooking. You can also arrange for a one-hour session with a spiritual guide for an additional fee.
