Humility and Dignity Retreat
Excellent leadership. Well-paced. Community building. Beautiful setting. Gardening built into the weekend. Sessions were intimate and creative, especially appreciated the collective dream work. Another good fit for the entire program. Thanks to the Kirkridge Community.

Love this place!
I've been 3 times now and each time was in a new place/space. It's a rustic blast from the past vibes is filled with love, the charge of hope and action towards community. I have enjoyed every stay and appreciate the leadership team at Kirkridge. They are fantastic human beings. <3

very wet wild church!
So I showed up for a very wet Wild Church on Wed. April 3-- and it was great!

What sweet, caring people! What a nice, thoughtful, short & compelling worship service- also wet!

What a nice, simple - but yummy- covered dish supper, to boot!

And what a nice, warm and dry night's stay afterwards at an extremely affordable price!

The best simple evening I've had in a long time. I will do it again. You should, too!
