Fall and Spring All-Church Retreats!

Fall Retreat: 2nd Weekend in November
November 10-12, 2023 
Theme: Thanksgiving
"The more we lose a sense of all belonging to one big family, the more we must explicitly express that belonging when it is actualized in some give-and-take. To give thanks means to give expression to mutual belonging. Genuine thanksgiving comes from the heart where we are rooted in universal belonging." - Br. David Stendl-Rast |
Spring Retreat: 4th Weekend in May
May 24-26, 2024 
Theme: TBD
|
at
Clearwater Forest Camp, Deerwood MN
These are "Choose your own adventure" retreats,
which means come for a day, one night, or the whole time!
Details:
SCHEDULE
Retreats begins Fridays at 5:30 PM, and end Sundays at noon.
ACCOMODATIONS
We stay in Eagle's Nest Lodge and the Carriage House.
The lodge is accessible and offers private or shared rooms for individuals, and private rooms for families.
Bathrooms are mostly shared for every two rooms.
Carriage House is our "introvert house" for those who want a quieter experience.
(Linens are provided).
WHAT DO WE DO?
Play, pray and rest!
Retreats include lots of free time for crafts, woodsy walks, board game tournaments, campfire songs, naps,
and other fun things that occur to us in the moment...
this is about hanging out together (and alone), with God, in nature, no pressure, no rushing, play and rest.
We structure our time around morning, midday and evening prayer, with wide swaths of free time,
and each retreat is shaped around a core practice of our Christian faith. (eg, last Spring's theme: Blessing).
Spring retreats include canoes and kayaks, fishing, and swimming for the brave, Fall retreats include orange vests.
Always there is carpooling available.
All our retreats are pay what you can. Come no matter what you can pay.
Scholarship contributions welcome: paying more than your cost helps those who need to pay less.
