Enjoy an extended time of rest, silence, and solitude in your own private cottage here at The Layne. Rest in peace knowing that this is not a short term rental. Rather, it is a sacred space, a space set aside for your spiritual nurture. Reserved only for the purposes of rest and contemplation, for personal retreats, for healing and restoration, or for pastors and other ministry leaders as working retreats, you will know that your cottage is for your spiritual growth and physical restoration

Specifically designed to create space for men all regardless of spiritual beliefs and practice we are branching out to give more place to non-golfers and golfers alike.

What is the "Season" of your life-world? We find ourselves in the season of summer. According to the liturgical calendar, we find ourselves in "ordinary time"; season where we focus on Jesus' ministry and teaching as He reveals his new kingdom. In spiritual direction, we notice the rhythms of nature around us. Summer becomes the season of "Rejoicing". The crops and flowers, the weather, everything in abundance. Our lives don't often match with the season of the year, but our lives move in and out of all four seasons. Join us this "summer" whatever season you find yourself to be in.

St Teresa of Avila teaches us: "He never tires of giving, nor can He exhaust His mercies. Let us not tire of receiving." God's heart is open and pouring out. Ours is only to receive. It is marvelous and wondrous. Jeremiah 33:2-3 (MSG) puts it this way: "This is God's Message, the God who made heaven and earth, made it livable and lasting, known everywhere as God: 'Call to me and I will answer you. I'll tell you marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own." Let's come together. Let's call out together. Together, let's receive 'marvelous and wondrous' things.

Just as the season of fall has its rhythm of changing colors, weather shifting, and bare trees; we too can find ourselves in seasons of 'releasing'. An internal autumn may be an invitation to growth, renewal, transition, addressing a void, and ultimately wondering about God's desires for us in this time. How does he see me? What kind of conversation could I have with him? Come enjoy this opportunity of quiet as you have this time alone with him.
