Community-Created Private Retreat
The Gifts We Bring
January 1-3, 2027
Guests and community members are invited to sign up to offer a time of practice and to join in offerings led by others throughout the weekend.
Begin the new year with time for rest, reflection, and connection in the peaceful winter setting of the Christine Center.
This special Personal Retreat Weekend offers the freedom to follow your own rhythm while inviting you to share in a retreat experience shaped by the gifts, wisdom, and practices of those gathered.
Throughout the weekend, guests will have opportunities to offer and join in shared practices or gatherings. You might invite others into meditation, movement, music, creative expression, contemplative prayer, meaningful conversation, or something uniquely your own.
Whether you feel called to share something, join in the offerings of others, or simply enjoy the quiet of your own retreat, you are welcome.
A sign-up sheet will be available for those who wish to share an offering, with designated times throughout the weekend.
Together, we’ll create space for connection, discovery, and the unfolding possibilities of a new year.

- All meals included from Friday supper through Sunday lunch.
