What is a Thinplace Retreat?
Curated by Lilly Lewin, a Thinplace Retreat is a space for you to get away and find rest. It's a place to process grief, to experience joy, and a place to reflect and recharge while surrounded by beauty.
Come along with Lilly and give yourself permission to reconnect with your soul. Give yourself permission to reconnect with yourself and your God. A Thinplace Retreat isn't about more information, it’s about an experience.
Give yourself the gift of a Finding Your Thinplace Retreat: Space to breathe and to rest, space to be creative, space to connect with God and the beauty of creation.
For this retreat we will be staying in the heart of Sonoma County wine country in Healdsburg, CA at The Bishop's Ranch. There will be many opportunities to relax and experience, including wine tastings, art, yoga, hiking, and time to be by yourself.
The Bishop’s Ranch sits above the famous Russian River Valley and has panoramic views of Mt. St Helena and The Mayacama Mountains, 300+ acres of hiking trails, multiple lodging facilities, a chapel and an arts center. The Ranch is known for its delicious meals and hospitality. We will have time to explore and time to sit by the fire. See more about this adventure in the itinerary below!
Thinplace: The Celtic Christian term for the places that are thin, the places where heaven and earth touch, places where you can and do experience The Holy…where you experience God’s presence. The Celtic Christians believed that there were physical places where the Spirit could be felt, where God’s presence was tangible, where the veil between heaven and earth is THIN. The Celtic saints built their monasteries at these places. Places like Iona in Scotland, the Holy Island of Lindesfarne in England, and much of Ireland would be considered Thinplaces. For you, a Thinplace might be by the water or in the woods, hiking or taking a walk in nature, at the ocean, at a river or waterfall, in the mountains, or other places of beauty where it’s easy to feel the presence of the Spirit ... like watching a sunset or the stars at night.
