Updates for GilChrist COVID practices in 2023
The past few years of the pandemic have taught us so many lessons, among them how deeply interconnected we are and how we depend on cooperation with one another in a crisis. While COVID continues to present a serious health risk, particularly to medically vulnerable and unvaccinated individuals, we also have more tools available to us now to prevent widespread outbreaks, serious illness, and death, including:
Practicing the Sacred Art of Silence
NOTE: This retreat is fully booked. If you are interested in being added to a waitlist, please reach out to the facilitator using the contact information below.
Silence is how it all begins. Putting space between us and the everyday allows us to bear witness to our life. We are reminded that in this type of stillness, brought on by an intentional stepping out of the daily grind and into solitude, we can hear our own voice echoed in the Divine.
GilChrist Rate Increase
As we look into the new year, we have decided to increase our rates, beginning in January. Our prices have stayed the same for a number of years, and out of an effort to remain comparable in cost to our neighboring retreat centers, we'll be adjusting the overnight rates and WindHill rental rates for 2023.
Group retreats now open for 2023
At GilChrist, we love a hearty gathering, filled with deep sharing and meaningful connections. A lot can happen when people get together for a day or a weekend or a week, and we're glad to be a part of it.
Re-Ignite Your Purpose
This retreat is for any woman going through an important life transition, and wanting to consciously choose the next chapters of her life instead of letting life choose for her.
As women mature, we move into the phase of creativity and purpose... yet it can be hard navigating this transition when we have spent so many years giving to our families and/or careers, often being stuck in survival mode or even burnt out. How do we find our way back to ourselves? What is your calling for the next season of your life?
Writing From the Body
"Imagination is evidence of the divine,” wrote poet and visionary William Blake more than 200 years ago. And yet we experience the world, imagine, and create through our very human bodies. In this retreat designed for artists and dreamers of every ilk, we will drop into the body and connect to the deepest parts of ourselves.
Big Magic Spring Renewal
This retreat is designed as a spring renewal for those who long to fulfill their creative potential. As artists and dreamers of every ilk, we must tend to our bodies and spirits and discover the balance between rest, renewal, play, and creative challenge so that we may tap into and channel something larger than ourselves. We must also learn to tune out the voices – both real and perceived – that tell us we can’t, in order to allow our genuine, glorious voices to ring out.
Self-Guided Retreat Weekend at GilChrist
Come to GilChrist for a self-guided retreat! In the midst of our busy group retreat schedule, we reserve at least one weekend per month for individual guests to experience unstructured retreats in our fully equipped cabins, which can accommodate one, two, or three people.
