„…What no eye has seen and no ear has heard,
what the mind of man cannot visualise;
all that God has prepared for those who love him.”
1 Corinthians 2, 9

Guest in the house, God in the house!

So you’ve decided to take your whole family to a retreat. It’s a no mean challenge. You’ve done several dozen or even hundreds of kilometres. If it was winter you had to make your way through icy, bumpy roads, during summer you didn’t even want to leave car during rest breaks because of the withering heat. You are exhausted to say the least, running out of steam and all you dream about is finally get to your room. Maybe you’ve been on many retreats before and you know what to expect… Or maybe something will surprise you in a positive way?

All of a sudden someone relieves you of your baggage, invites you inside, helps looking after your juvenile company. You take off your coats and shoes… and feel at home 🙂

Dream room

You enter your room. No, not a room, it’s a suite – two bedrooms with a mini lounge in between where you can, for instance, drink your morning coffee together, because there’s everything you need to make it at your disposal. There’s also a bathroom just for you. Are you arriving with an infant? Sure thing – there’s a cot and a child carrier prepared as well, and for preschoolers – a special stool so that they can use the washbowl and easily wash their hands by themselves.
Things are good 🙂 You don’t need to go to sleep at the same time as your kids because they have their own bedroom! The evening will be just for You – how about watching the sun setting over the lake or listen to crickets chirping. Wait, a lake! Mosquitos?! Phew! There are window screens 🙂 The beds don’t creak, the wardrobes don’t fall apart, there’s no dampness, no old dusty carpets… There sheets are fresh and with no holes in them. And there was no need to bring your own towels, we have them on site, same as with soap, shampoo and other essential cosmetics. Everything’s simple yet clean and tidy 🙂
OK, so you’ve made yourself comfortable, unpacked, freshened yourself up and had a coffe. It’s time to view the rest of the Centre and its surroundings.

The unusual surroundings

And the surroundings are really worth mentioning. The promenade by the lake, a forest nearby, a cycle path. There are bikes, walking poles as well as pedal go-karts for kids on site, there’s also a football field, a volleyball court, a tennis court and a playground. Inside there’s a playroom, cafeteria and a library. It’s our special relax and socialise area 🙂 Kids have fun with their peers, youths play board games and you meet other guests by a coffee table having your children under your watchful eye. And if there’s still some time left, call by the library, where apart from some good lecture you’ll find Christian audiobook nad conference CDs which, by the way, you can listen to in your suite.
And that’s just the beginning. 🙂

An ideal place for meetings

You’ve got to know some of the retreat crew, you’ll meet the others having your first meal together. Right, but I wonder what will they serve, margarine and mortadella? To put it briefly – it’s gonna be healty, tasty and diversely. You okay with this?
The dining area is big enough for everyone, and actually, there’s enough space to organise a party there. Keep that in mind – there are kitchen facilities, a sizeable dance floor, a place to stay overnight.
Retreat means meeting God 🙂 Not only in other people but also personally – in a common or personal prayer. The chapel will seat the whole retreat community and throughout the Centre you’ll surely find many secluded places for your intimate conversation with God, your Tent of Meeting.
Renew your spirit and body 🙂

Center relations

Prayers, conferences, Christian cinema and books, meeting God – you experience the beauty of His creation at every step. Building relationship with people – evening meetings by the fireplace or grill, children friendships made in the sandbox on the playground, the spirit of fair play during team plays of bowling or billiards.

Renew the spirit and body

Discover the secrets of healthy nourishment of body that God entrusted you with. A sound mind in a sound body and vice versa. Or maybe you’d rather fast? No problem! It’ll be honest, as in the Book of Daniel: „Please allow your servants a ten days’ trial, during which we are given only vegetables to eat and water to drink (…) When the ten days were over, they looked better and fatter than any of the boys who had eaten their allowance from the royal table.”
How else can you help renewing your body? Swimming pool? Sauna? Or maybe exercises at a gym?

And when an afternoon happens to be free for a family outing, there are attractions, interesting places to see or forests great for mushroom hunting in the area.

What can we do for you more?
