YOU are Reason Enough retreat

You need a break
You are exhausted
You have no self-care routine
You long for a moment to yourself
You want to disconnect and recharge

Join us as we create a nurturing space for your journey towards healing and inner peace. Discover three empowering techniques to break free from the cycle of endlessly-existing exhaustion and cultivate mental clarity and stillness. Enjoy this moment in time to walk the grounds of GilChrist Retreat Center. Walk the labyrinth as you let your mind just be. Sit by the pond and talk with a friend or watch the birds and express gratitude for all that is. You can attend a session of Yoga or Meditation. You can sit in the library inside or sit in solitude on a hill outside. This is a time for you to do what will pour into your heart and spirit.  What do you need in your life for yourself right now? Now is the time to ask yourself that question and to spend time with yourself awaiting the answer.
