Penuel Ridge Retreat Center

Penuel Ridge returned to pre-pandemic capacity, offering self-guided day and overnight retreats. The Retreat center welcomed 1,615 individuals, representing a vast array of spiritual traditions in support of our commitment to interfaith hospitality. Each guest was given the latitude to engage in activities unique to their individual needs while utilizing the tools of contemplation, silence, and rest to replenish their wellspring of strength. Penuel Ridge welcomed 29 unique groups for day and overnight retreats, representing an array of faith traditions and wellness practices. Penuel Ridge returned to its pre-pandemic practice of offering uniquely themed and sponsored day retreats for the general public to engage in contemplative practices which nurtured their spiritual, mental, and physical wellness. Themed retreats included: Quenching a Deep Thirst...a Guided Silent Retreat offered monthly; Autumn Contemplative Nature Walk Series offered for 6 consecutive weeks, and the annual Howard Thurman Retreat. On-site private Spiritual Direction sessions continued to be offered 3 times per month.

The commitment of service to and social justice for the unhoused in our community is at the heart of Penuel Ridge. Although we continued to pause on-site programming in 2022, service continued with our collaborative partner, focusing resources on community outreach aboard public transportation and through the serving of hot meals from a food truck.
