Cammie and Brian give you a practical field guide on where/when/how to prepare for your spiritual retreat. It's more realistic than you think, with a little intentionality.
They promised a special list of Milwaukee area places to retreat, so here you go:
- Retreat Centers, Hotels, Cabins.
- Brian goes to St. Mary's of the Lake near Gurnee as a retreat center. Cammie loves Fort Wilderness near Rhinelander.
- Hotels in Lake Geneva & Cedarburg are quaint locations.
- Find a friend with a lake cabin, or search for a Vrbo. You might be surprised what you can find and fall in love with!
- Parks & Public Places
- Milwaukee Area classics are Seven Bridges at Grant Park or Whintall Park. Pro Tip: If you walk the space North of Grant Park Beach or South of Seven Bridges, you can pretty much find a spot where you'll have Lake Michigan all to yourself.
- Lesser known gems for public parks are Minooka (Waukesha), South Shore Park (Bay View).
- Brian frequents the Milwaukee Public Art Museum, or wanders for a street bench in the Third Ward.
- Cammie loves Starbucks coffee in Lake Geneva. Brian prefers coffee in Walker Point. Both recommend Collectivo Tosa.
