Retreats
The Zikr Woods
For quite a few years, the Riegel's have conducted spiritual retreats at The DeSales Center in Brooklyn, Mi. Due to a couple of different factors, i.e., new rules for use of the DeSales kitchen and then the pandemic, those retreats ended some two to three years ago. We have always wanted our own place to conduct retreats and now we have it. Welcome to The Zikr Woods! This is our vacation home in Grayling, Mi., which we use for small (4-5 people) but more frequent (~4/yr) retreats.
The Zikr Woods is located 15 minutes east of Grayling, about a 3 1/2 hour drive for those living in Detroit, and its eastern and western suburbs. The home itself is at the end of a sparsely populated road, not far from a major thoroughfare but far enough to have that "get away" feel. Nestled on ten acres, it is surrounded by evergreen and hardwood. The back deck faces most of that ten acres so the view is as if sitting in the midst of the state's lush forests. There is also plenty of state land near Grayling, where Dr. Riegel has been walking his pups for decades now, and which, in cooperative weather, can serve as a place to wander, relax, and meditate.
NOTE - The Zikr Woods has three bedrooms, which will sleep two people per room (So if you attend our retreats, you will likely have a roommate.), a spacious kitchen, a living room that seats 7 people, and two bathrooms (one with a shower and one with a jet tub). [Scroll down to see images.]
