Silence Retreat

This weekend retreat allows you time and space to practice silence and stillness in a small cohort in the beautiful Nancy Nelson Lake House.

This get-a-way may be just what you need in this season. At the Nancy Nelson Lake House, we've prepared a wide-open schedule to practice silence and stillness and gather new ideas in facilitated conversations that open and close the weekend. Bedrooms with private bathrooms allow for space to rest. Expect delicious, nourishing meals. Enjoy time in nature with a walk in the woods and nestle up to the fire with a favorite book or journal.
