Retreating in Northeast Ohio provides the opportunity to explore scenery that is beautiful and meditative in all four seasons. When planning your retreat, here are some local areas that we frequently utilize:
United Church of Christ Outdoor Labyrinth and Walking Path:
Holden Arboretum: “The Holden Arboretum is an outdoor living museum that promotes the beauty and importance of trees and other woody plants to create sustainable and healthy communities in the Great Lakes region and beyond.” http://www.holdenarb.org
Lake Erie/ Mentor Lagoons/ Headlands State Beach
Chapin Forest: (The Kirtland Temple stones came from a quarry in this forest)
