Read what guests of Rolling Ridge have said

about their experience:

• If you take a spiritual journey, make Rolling Ridge your destination.
• What a refreshing time and place to come away and acquire tools for dealing with life!
• Always a wonderful time. When I drive in the driveway, my whole body (and mind) breathes a sigh of relief. I know it’s going to be a good, worthwhile day (or better yet, weekend)
• It’s like a “stimulus package” for the heart. Cheap and lifting.
• It’s a great day out or “apart” from my regular schedule…
• A wonderful experience of retreating to replenish the soul in order to re-enter the world.
• Rolling Ridge is a great experience to learn or meditate, to retreat in the excellent gounds and to learn more about yourself as a child of God.
• It bolsters and enhances my over all mental health and openness of spirit
• A hidden treasure found! Amen. I’ll pass the gift of knowledge around. I will be back!
• What a precious opportunity to refresh and restore one’s self in a beautiful environment along with thoughtful people. A perfect way to drink living water for the journey of life.
• It is a great escape for those of us who don’t take Sabbaths regularly
• Very rewarding to get re-acquainted with God in a beautiful setting
• Rolling Ridge is a place of peace, reflection, and renewal to mind, body, emotion and spirit
• A space to renew and regroup around one’s spiritual life and self.
• This was a moment of wholeness and joyful (painful!) reflection.
• You put the treat in retreat!
• I enjoy coming here because the staff is friendly and welcoming, and the surroundings are relaxing and peaceful.
• This day apart allowed me to reconnect with God, Creation, and myself.
• A wonderful day that replenished my soul. My senses are heightened, and I am in a rested, peaceful place within.
• Felt a heavenly presence during labyrinth walk and during prayer/chanting
• Rolling Ridge is a window into the ethereal eternity of God
• I found myself transported both to the past to learn how I found my dream, and to the future to see how my dream played out.
• It was educational and worth more than I hoped for. David is an excellent leader.
• I have been waiting too long to enjoy what is in my backyard. I plan to do more of these!
• The day apart retreat series is a hidden gem
• I felt more at peace as I looked forward toward my vocational possibilities, and more trusting of myself.
• Got the Ridge News today and wish I had a spa day and time to visit you. Why aren’t you next door?- Ron in Tennessee
• We were ecstatic with the surroundings, beautiful day and royal treatment afforded us by you and your staff. By the way, your staff is outstanding- very flexible, hardworking and friendly.
• Thanks for the wonderful retreat. This special site is getting some much deserved attention and it feels like a place that nurtures my soul. Thank you.
• My first visit to Rolling Ridge for a private retreat was like experiencing a little bit of heaven on earth. The beautiful historic manor house and its absolutely stunning grounds were equally complemented by the kind, helpful, and accommodating staff. Every member of the Rolling Retreat team could not have been friendlier or more interested in making sure I was comfortable and enjoying the retreat. I found the quiet, peace, tranquility, and beauty of Rolling Ridge to be the perfect oasis from the hustle and bustle of daily life. I plan to return again and again.

Dear Larry,
 Yesterday was the first time that I came to Rolling Ridge.  I must tell you that I could kick myself for not coming sooner!  You have created a truly Holy Space which exudes welcome and grace.  It is more than the lovely building, it is the many extras and attitude which capture a sense of grace and elegance that is so lacking today.  I have been to many UCC retreat centers and I never come away with the feeling of joy that you have given me.  I REALLY felt welcomed, precious, enjoyed.  I did not feel guilty for having a roof over my head, taking the day off, or enjoying good food.  I don’t think that I am expressing it well but you touched my heart and soul and I have already recommended your facility to two people!  Please send me some of your brochures and accept my deepest thanks.  I would love to talk to you more about what I understand is a transformation that you have guided.
Blessings,
Rev. Janet Leighninger
