A Sabbatical Retreat is for ministry leaders, individuals, or couples who simply need a break. This could be for a wide range of reasons. Maybe you\u2019re on the brink of burnout. Maybe you need time to process and grieve a loss. Maybe you need a few days for spiritual reflection and renewal. Maybe you\u2019re a couple who needs some time to step away without the kids. Maybe you are seeing a professional counselor or therapist and you would like some solitude to focus on the internal work that you need to do. We don\u2019t have specific parameters for a sabbatical retreat. Whatever your life situation is, you will benefit from the privacy of our facilities and the surrounding area.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Ballast Lodge is an ideal getaway place for small groups that want to meet and grow for several focused days together. Our accommodations include 4 bedrooms (3 with queen beds and 1 with a double bed), plus an assortment of other beds available for groups. (The Guest House has a single bed in one of the closets, a single folding bed that can be set up in either bedroom, and a futon in the sunroom. The Cottage has a queen-size pull-out couch. And we have 2 camping cots that can be used in either house, if you bring a sleeping bag.)<\/p>
