Embrace the vibrant hues of autumn and the quiet of inner reflection at Camp Chickagami.
Join us this October for “Retreat in the Colors,” a silent retreat designed to immerse you in the beauty of the fall season while offering a sanctuary for introspection and spiritual renewal. This retreat provides a unique opportunity to disconnect from the noise of daily life and reconnect with your inner self and God amidst the stunning backdrop of Northern Michigan’s autumn foliage.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This retreat is open to anyone seeking a deeper connection with themselves, nature, and the divine through the practice of silence. Whether you are experienced in silent retreats or new to the practice, you are welcome here.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:
- Silent Contemplation: The retreat will be primarily conducted in silence, allowing for deep personal reflection, prayer, and connection with the natural world. Silence offers a powerful space to listen to the whispers of your own heart and the still, small voice within.
- Immersive Nature Experience: Camp Chickagami’s location provides the perfect setting to witness the breathtaking spectacle of fall colors. Enjoy peaceful walks through the woods, quiet moments by the lake, and the restorative power of nature’s beauty. The vibrant hues of autumn will serve as a visual meditation, enhancing your contemplative experience.
- Guided Reflections and Practices: Our convener will offer gentle guidance through suggested reflections, contemplative practices, and opportunities for journaling. These offerings will support your journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth during the silent retreat.
- Optional Activities: While silence is a central element, there will be opportunities for optional activities such as nature walks, creative expression (e.g., journaling, sketching), and quiet contemplation in shared spaces.
- Community in Silence: While the retreat is primarily silent, shared meals and some designated spaces will provide opportunities for connection with fellow retreat participants in a spirit of quiet companionship. This shared experience of silence can create a unique and powerful sense of community.
