Retreats & Events
From time to time, each of us feels the need for some sort of sacred time and space to catch our breath, regain our balance, refresh our souls. Like Jesus himself, we seek a quiet place to pray, listen to God, and renew our spirit.
Known for its peaceful setting and gracious hospitality, Whispering Winds offers, and is available for, a wide variety of retreat experiences for both individuals and groups.
Group Retreats include those who gather for the particular retreats Whispering Winds offers, as well as church groups - councils, choirs, women's groups, education staff, worship committees; and clergy groups, ecumenical gatherings, prayer groups, or any other ministry groups from congregations or the larger community. Groups may lead their own retreat, or we can customize a retreat, focusing on your particular needs and interests. Any of these retreats can be a partial day, a full day, or overnight.
There are a variety of options for personal retreats, from a few hours to a few days.
In any personal or group retreat, we can arrange to have a Spiritual Director available, if desired.
We are also in the process of developing a number of E-Retreats of varying lengths and topics. Upon registering, you will receive 3-5 emails a week for the length of each particular topic, which include a reading, and a reflection or a "put it into practice" suggestion.
If your retreat includes 20 or more people, we offer two options:
- For overnight retreats, Whispering Winds has four guest rooms. Each
guest room has one queen-size bed and a private bath. We are happy to
coordinate with other local Bed & Breakfasts for additional guest
rooms.
- For partial day or day-long retreats, we would be pleased to offer the retreat elsewhere, most often at your church.
You may want to reserve space for an off-site working meeting of a particular group, with your own agendas. For more information, click on the "Group Gatherings" link on the left side of this page.
