Racine & Me: 'Rest and Renewal for Your Soul' at Siena Retreat Center
RACINE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- The Siena Retreat Center is hosting a Rest and Renewal for Your Soul workshop. Lea Miles, Retreat Leader and Spiritual Director joined us in studio to talk about the event.
This weekend retreat is for BIPOC people at the Siena Retreat Center in Racine, Wis. The retreat leader, Lea Miles, combines her expertise as a spiritual guide and academic librarian to create enriching self-care experiences for people of diverse backgrounds. The retreat offers a safe and quiet space for deep relaxation, healing, renewal, and community connection. Participants will replenish their spirits through guided meditation, reclaiming rest workshops, yoga, meaningful conversations, walks in nature, and breathing deeply by the water of Lake Michigan. Rest is not a luxury but a necessity for our quality of life. Imagine what it would be like if we lived in a well-rested world! Too many of us have claimed productivity as the cornerstone of success and subjected our bodies and minds to work at an unrealistic, damaging pace. We need more balance, and freedom from the Grind Culture. Rest is good for us and for others. This retreat offers time apart to explore and experience several ways to rest, in addition to taking naps. The Siena Retreat Center is north of Racine, WI on 58 acres of prairie and woods, right on the shore of Lake Michigan. It is a beautiful, peaceful place, whose environment is conducive for getting away from one’s daily routine and having time to think, reflect, rest and be renewed. Siena Retreat Center offers individuals and groups space for one-day or multiple day gatherings and retreats. It has over 60 private bedrooms, each with its own bathroom with walk-in shower, bed, desk, and recliner. There are also spacious rooms for meetings, meditation, and creative arts.
The Siena Retreat Center also sponsors over 80 retreats and programs during the year and offers spiritual guidance one on one, and training in how to support those who are grieving. People can register for programs online at www.sienaretreatcenter.org. There one can also find contact information to reserve space for a group or individual retreat.
