REGISTRATION FOR FALL NOW OPEN!

Fall Retreat: 2nd Weekend in November
November 8-10, 2024 
Theme: Imagining
Imagining is living now what will be As people with eschatological imagination, we live in honesty and wholeness and peace; we practice kindness and respect; we work for justice and equity--because this is the shape of God's future. We live that future out now before it is here in its fullness, in anticipation of and participation in the coming Kingdom of God. This retreat is for resting, and practicing imagining God's future. |
Spring Retreat: 4th Weekend in May
May 23-25, 2024 
Theme: Availability
Abiding is being here, just as we are God meets us now, here. Not when... or if... God is always present right now. But very often we are not - we are distracted and future-focused. Or we think that how we are right now (tired, sad, angry, etc) is not good enough or ready enough for God, so we try to prepare ourselves instead of being ourselves. God meets us right here, right now, just as we are. This retreat is for resting, and practicing availability. |
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 begin Fridays at 5:30 PM, and end Sundays at noon.
ACCOMODATIONS
We stay in Eagle's Nest Lodge (and the Carriage House, when needed).
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.
When we have enough folks signed up, Carriage House becomes 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.
Spring retreats include canoes and kayaks, fishing, and swimming for the brave. Fall retreats include orange vests.
Always there is carpooling available.
