A 48‑hour retreat won’t fix everything, but it can help you breathe again. This simple guide walks you through a weekend at Deer Creek Retreat in Old La Sal—porch coffee, silence, stars, and small practices that let your nervous system exhale and your soul catch up.

Our kitchen isn’t fancy, but it’s intentional. Standing at the sink with a view of the La Sal Mountains and well water in your glass, even doing dishes can become prayer. This reflection explores how the Deer Creek kitchen can become a small cathedral of presence, gratitude, and slow, simple meals.
