This retreat is a time for worship, rest, mutual support and nurture, in a beautiful setting in nature. There is both a spacious schedule *and* encouragement to discern what will help you recharge - including skipping sessions to sleep late, take a long walk, watch birds, sit on a bench overlooking the lake, listen to music, etc.
Each room has 2 queen-size beds and the cost is $160/person sharing a double room and $230/person for a single room.
