Soul Care Days hosted by Restoration River Ranch
What does a soul care day look like?
Not all soul care days look exactly the same, but the goal for each is. We want to create space for you to spend time with God, away from the distraction of a busy life. This day will be for YOU and we will offer the opportunity to participate in a few different spiritual practices together with other attendees or the option to just be alone. Spiritual practices include a time of Bible meditation using Lectio Divina, a time of listening prayer and prayer journaling, and ending our day with a time of engaging the Daily Examen. As mentioned, your participation in any of these guided times is optional, but we do feel these practices can really enhance your day. You know best what your soul needs and so we want you to spend the day how you feel best cares for your soul. We will also offer lunch for the attendees. Typically, we start the day at 9:00 a.m. and wrap things up by 2:30 p.m. Obviously, you can leave right after lunch if needed.
Why should I come?
Because it will be a gift to you! We have heard these words from so many guests, “This is just what I needed.” This day is about you and caring for your soul. We know that there is a thief who comes to kill, steal and destroy. We believe one of the ways he does this is through distractions. A busy life of productivity can often lead to a neglected soul. We no longer can hear the Father’s voice because all the other voices are so loud. Stepping away for a day can help quiet the noise… a time to reconsider your life rhythms. A time to care for your soul.
Where do these take place?
We use a variety of venues including:
Staunton State Park or Pine Valley Ranch for a "lectio divina" hike, lunch, and time to rest and restore,
Lower Lake Ranch for a time of fly fishing and soul care, taking time to enjoy creation and of course, have lunch together by the lake.
Hudson Gardens for a day to gather together in a beautiful urban setting for a time of scripture meditation, followed by a time of silence and solitude. We then will gather for lunch at Nixon's on the Platte River trail.
These are a few of the locations we currently use and we will continue to explore new options for soul care days.
Cost
We invite guests to donate whatever they are able, but your presence is what we desire most, so don’t let that stand in your way. We do limit the number of guests for the benefit of each attendee.
