We recognize the great labor involved in serving as a spiritual leader committed to
social justice. In an effort to support and foster your spiritual connection as you do
for so many others, we extend an opportunity for you simply to relax and
rejuvenate.

Here you can enjoy good food, a natural setting and the opportunity to commune
in solitude or in fellowship.

Lodging is comfortable and private or semi-private (2 people to a room).Amenities
include: nature trail, sanctuary, indoor and outdoor space, television, internet,
pool, basketball courts, pool table and more.

*One clergy member from congregations working toward full inclusion and equality
of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer people in Michigan are
welcome to attend our Clergy Retreat in conjunction with our Together In Faith
Collaborative.

Lodging and Meals from Thursday - Friday will be covered by the Inclusive Justice
Program supported by the Arcus Foundation.

We hope this time away from the usual demands is both restful and rejuvenating.

In Peace with Justice,
                     - Heather Grace, Director
