A big day is coming for Rolling Ridge: On Jan. 8, 2018, we will be rolling out a new website, with new features making it easier to discover the beauty that is the Ridge and the programs that are becoming our signature. Be sure to check it out at www.rollingridge.org.
With the new year, we hope that you will take some time to nurture your spiritual life. You deserve a day to renew and be refreshed! Our Spring 2018 Day Apart retreats are open for registration; they are designed for busy people who need a break from the hustle and bustle, and are looking for a day of rest, personal enrichment, and spiritual growth.
As we prepare for Easter, we are offering a Lenten Series in storytelling highlighting Confession, Communion, and Celebration, along with a Christian Character series on Thomas, Mary Magdalene, and Jesus.
We are also featuring a post-Easter Silent Retreat, a Women's Spirituality Series, a Clergy Series, a Wellness Series, an Enneagram Series, and a weekend retreat on Incarnational Wholeness. With over 20 events planned, Spring 2018 holds something for everyone at the Ridge. Check it out at www.rollingridge.org.
Along with our retreat offerings, registration for our Rolling Ridge-sponsored training programs is also open. A new year-long Certificate Program in Healing Touch Spiritual Ministries in partnership with ISHA (Institute of Spiritual Healing and Aromatherapy) begins in September 2018, and our two-year Gateways to God Spiritual Direction Training begins in February 2019. Registration is open for both programs on the new website.
With 2018 now here, start the new year on solid spiritual footing by making plans to join us at the Ridge. Whether for a Day Apart, a weekend retreat, or an extended training program, your spirit will be refreshed by the peace and beauty that make Rolling Ridge the premiere Christian retreat center in New England.
