The whole week I felt held in love, beauty, and peace. I am grateful that there is such a wonderful place to be. I am changed. (Icon Writing Retreatant) It was exactly what I needed, and what will probably draw me back in the future.( Private Retreatant) I Appreciated the nice balance between being gracious and welcoming, yet also being sensitive to allowing me space. (Private Retreatant) Fantastic and Refreshing! Exactly what I needed in my life right now. Gorgeous grounds, Wonderful buildings. Welcoming...I just wish my stay could have been longer, next time it will be! (United Methodist Clergy Retreatant) Wonderful-everyone is kind and welcoming. (Private Retreatant) Wonderful, beautiful, delicious food, comfortable bed. (Woodale Quilters) All reflect God's love-a great setting to find healing, talk if I want to, be silent if I want. Free to be myself. (Private Retreatant ) Peaceful and Quiet. (Beginning Experience) A wonderful place inside and out for a retreat or workshop. (Yoga Participant) Grace Filled, Peaceful and Serene. (Institute of Lay Ministry) Wonderful in all ways (Rejoice Ministries) I came with my sister for a day-next time WILL BE LONGER! (Private Retreatant) The quietness and serenity give room for dedicated fellowship with inner being and thereby reaching God the Creator. The labyrinth walks were very helpful in my discoveries. I feel renewed and at peace. Peace-filled-which helped clear a space for answers to 'gather'. I have enjoyed my stay here and realized how important it its to take time everyday for quiet solitude with God. Thanks for providing an oasis from the everyday. Thank you for the dedication to your ministry. I always have a lovely, refreshing, spiritually-stimulating time at the Villa. So relaxing but very stimulating at the same time. Thank you for a wonderful weekend for our conference. Everyone was happy and content. You are most helpful in meeting all our needs. We look forward to our next retreat! Once again we are so very grateful for the gift that our time there has been. We shared laughter, tears, and prayers. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality. (St Stans Youth) Peaceful, beautiful. You are surrounded by beauty. God is everywhere. I loved the grounds - woods -the meadow, Wonderful place for a retreat , Bright meeting spaces. I love the time to spend with Jesus, a book, my thoughts, and a wonderful spiritual director. A great place for a retreat. It felt like a home away from home. My first visit…I am so impressed with the attention to every detail and the virtue of Christ centered hospitality that welcomes every quest. |
