Getting to Know the Holy Spirit - Directed Retreat


  • Wisdom House Retreat & Conference Center 229 East Litchfield Road Litchfield, CT, 06759 United States (map)

Presented by Cy Varland

Are you needing the fresh vitality and guidance of the Holy Spirit?  In the Gospel of John the Holy Spirit is called the Counselor and The One Who Walks Beside.  John also wrote that those who place their faith and commitment in Jesus will know “streams of living water” welling up within them.  In this 3 day retreat Rev. Cy Varland, a retired parish minister and licensed counselor, will offer various ways in which retreatants may experience more of the Spirit’s potential in their lives.

In addition to the wonderful food and gorgeous outdoors at WH, there will be opportunities offered for study, quiet, group conversation, spiritual direction and short Celtic worship services.  Your only responsibilities will be to attend morning worship, honor the times set aside for silence, be curious about God, and take advantage of those optional programs that you wish to attend.

We hope that you will find renewal and God’s presence during your stay in this special place.

All Meals are Included | Check-in at 10:00am and the program begins at 11:00am
