2nd Annual…BE STILL: Christian Meditation Retreat!
4 Days, 3 Nights
July 12-15, 2012
McCloud, California (Mt. Shasta Area)
- Do you battle with worry, anxiety, or other toxic emotions?
- Are negative, compulsive, or destructive thoughts stealing your peace of mind?
- Do you desire to spend more quality time with God but can’t relax enough to do so?
- Are you so busy “doing” for God that you have forgotten how to just “be” in Jesus?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you don’t want to miss The Art of Christian Meditation Retreat!
.
This is no ordinary retreat! We’re not going to lecture you on how to be a more effective Christian, win more souls, or do more for God! No! We’re going to teach you how to touch the hem of Jesus’s garment so that YOU can receive God’s healing, love, and peace in your life right now, today!
.
Whether you are a single, couple, minister, pastor, or seasoned Christian, this retreat is for you? So many of God’s people believe that a geniune relationship with God is comprised of more service. But God told Mose that continual service and works will wear you out quickly. Mose’s true strength, wisdom, and inspiration came from the time he spent alone with God.
.
Come and get refreshed in God and learn how meditating on Christ and the Scriptures will deepen your relationship with God, help you let go of stress, grow spiritually, and maintain your peace of mind even during times of crisis.
.
In the book of 1 Kings 19, Elijah participated in one of the greatest moves of God ever. He literally summoned God’s fire from heaven. Afterwards, he was so mentally and spiritually depleted that when Jezbel threatened to kill him, he ran for his life and ended up alone in the desert.
.
He was so dilliussioned that he asked God to kill him right then and there. But that is the opposite of what God did. God did not scold him or tell him to suck it up. He did not tell him to have more faith. He did not make him feel guilty for being discouraged. Instead, God told him to rest and sleep, and then He sent angels to bring him food to eat. It wasn’t until he was physically, spiritually,and mentally strengthened that God sent him back into ministry.
Every Christian needs a time of refreshing. They need to find that Secret Place in Christ where God can rejunevate and minister to them. That is the purpose of this retreat. Not MORE activity! Not MORE recreation! But a time to abide in Christ and linger in his presence. We can’t abide in God’s presence and not be changed.
.
The BE STILL Christian Meditation Retreat is going to teach you the life-changing practice of Christ-centered meditation, a spiritual practice that many Christians have never done before, but that is encouraged throughout the scripture.
.
Joshua 1:8 tells believers that it is through meditating on Christ that we gain true success in life. Yet not the success of the world, the success of a loving, joyful, and thriving relationship with Jesus Christ.

Travel Arrangements: If you are flying in for retreat we encourage you to either fly into Sacramento or Redding and rent a car to the retreat center . I will try to organize ridesharing from Sacramento, but it is not guaranteed. For ridesharing you will be asked to pay driver $50 for roundtrip at time of departure. If riding sharing is not available, be prepared to rent a car from Sacramento or Redding. The ride is very beautiful and goes by very fast.
Rental Cars: Please check rental car options in Sacramento and Redding before booking your flight. You should be able to rent a car right at the airport for very reasonable ($13 per day at some rental locations for a small car).
Amtrak and Greyhound also provides transporation with dropouts about 15-20 minutes from retreat location. Arrangements can be made for pick up to and from the center.
