Contemplative Retreats

A Contemplative Retreat is the practice of pulling away from our normal everyday activities to be still and present before God. Jesus often retreated to a quiet place to pray (Mark 1:35). In the midst of ministry busyness, Jesus recognized his disciples’ weariness and beckoned them, “Come away with me to a quiet place and rest” (Mark 6:31). Today, Jesus continues to call out to us, “Get away with me and I’ll teach you how to take a real rest” (Matthew 11:28). A willing heart is the first step in accepting Jesus’ invitation.

From time to time, we need the company of hospitable friends who would dig a hole in a roof to help clear a path for us to Jesus (Mark 2:1-12).  Small group retreats at B-Still Ranch are designed for rest, encouragement and personal time with God. In the serene rural setting (outside of Gainesville, TX), each person has their own private bedroom, linens and meals are provided.
