The Hermitage is…
… A
place of retreat, following
Jesus’ pattern of taking time away from daily tasks
in order to be fully attuned to the divine mission on this fragile
earth home—letting go of control and emptying oneself—embracing
healing; refusing the power our pain and fear have over us and submitting
to the enabling freedom of God.
…A community of companionship where
staff and other spiritual directors are prepared to walk with guests
in discerning the use of retreat time or on an ongoing
basis—where we give the permission of silence to each other
as we listen for God’s voice—where each person is
encouraged to cooperate with God in the ongoing process of being
made a new creature in Christ.
…62 acres of rolling hills in
southwest Michigan—private rooms, meeting space, prayer/meditation
rooms, chapel, beautiful views, hospitable atmosphere, birdsong,
and trails for leisurely walking.
…A church-related ministry endorsed
by the Indiana-Michigan Conference of the Mennonite Church, USA.
