In solidarity with state, national, and global efforts to slow the spread of the coronavirus, GilChrist will be closed to all guests from March 15 through April 30. 

Have you wondered why some of your life patterns seem impossible to resolve? Have you felt spiritually blocked and can’t figure out what to do next? Come to Gilchrist to explore the family generational patterns in your family soul that influence and energetically block your spiritual path through contemplative exercises and family generational healing sessions. You will have time alone and in silence during the retreat to contemplatively reflect, journal, and walk on the beautiful GilChrist grounds. These reflective spaces will both put you in touch with your family soul, help you to identify the family pattern you feel called to investigate, and deepen the work begun in the family generational healing sessions. Individual and group rituals will be part of the retreat. Individual conferences with the retreat directors will also be available.

"I have been on many retreats and this was an experience in spiritual wholeness, incorporating generational release/freedom for new beginnings and fresh continuance."  -- Susan Carlson
