Come away to a quiet place to rest and renew.
We offer these five day retreats as an opportunity to disconnect from the busyness of life and reconnect with Divine Wisdom. Come home to yourself and remember who you really are.
During the time of a retreat week, you will meet each day with your spiritual companion, Lisa Hudkins, who will walk with you and guide you on your spiritual journey. The restful setting of the Litchfield Hills will allow you to appreciate and be embraced by the healing effect of God in the silence. Relax at the pool in the summer sunshine, steep yourself in a meditative labyrinth walk, be inspired by the works in our art gallery, or discover the country roads surrounding our property. Bring your Bible or your spiritual reading. Bring a journal or artwork to access your inner wisdom.
The retreat begins with lunch at noon on August 21 (arrive any time after 10 am) and ends on August 25, 10 am.
Cost with Meals Included (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner) :
Private ensuite $545 | Private w/hall bath $440
