Activities

"Spiritual wellness through restoration, regeneration, and renewal"

Join us at Rapha Place. Use this time to slow down and re-connect with yourself and GOD. We offer several ways to spend your day to accomplish this goal. All of our events occur in the great outdoors. We have several sitting areas as well as two gazebos that retreatants will have at their disposal. At Rapha Place you can enjoy a day of restoration, regeneration, and renewal through:

Cultivation

Meditation

Solitude

Relaxation

Exploration

CULTIVATION – It is believed that gardening is a very effective way to achieve psychological well-being. The digging, planting, weeding, watering, and harvesting can help a person disconnect from the distractions of the day-to-day and focus on nature.

MEDITATION – We offer recorded guided Christian meditation and prayer, in addition to recorded guided mindfulness meditation. You are welcomed to bring your own guided recordings or simply spend the day in quiet and thought.

SOLITUDE – Solitude does not mean quiet. Instead use this time to listen. Spend the day taking in the sounds of nature. The birds, the wind, even the sounds of passersby. Or just remain still and enjoy each moment. Listening and you just may hear that still small voice.

RELAXATION – Come and just relax. Release yourself from the demands of your everyday activities. Sit in our antigravity chairs and enjoy the aroma of the lavender garden or watch the butterflies as they stop and visit the butterfly restaurant. Or you can simply read, journal your thoughts, paint…whatever allows you to slow down and reconnect.

EXPLORATION – Simply come without an agenda. Just come with an openness to experience what Rapha Place has to offer.

FUTURE OFFERINGS – Rapha Place is a work in progress and in that spirit hope to offer additional activities such as a walking path and forest bathing. And of course, any suggestions you may have that can help you along your spiritual journey.
