For my friends at The Writers' View and others interested in taking a little time for yourself to just be in the presence of God without distractions and other voices (unless of course you're a writer and those voices are talking to you again!)...
Please note: This list is not comprehensive but is compiled through the research of retreat centers that I did for
The Complete Leader's Guide to Christian Retreats. If there's a retreat center near you, it's worth a call to ask if they are open to personal retreats (you might have to explain that a personal retreat is where one person comes and uses their lodging for a set period of time, generally no meal service provided, just a quiet place to think/reflect/pray/write). Also, as with planning any retreat, you should fully check out the facilities in advance (web site, okay; personal site visit, recommended) to make sure that they meet with your expectations.
If you have additions or feedback to this list, I'd be happy to post them on this blog for the book. Just reply to this post or email me at
rachel@writerrae.com.
Blessings to you as you Write For Him!
