UNPLUGGED RETREAT April 21-23

Disconnect to Reconnect:  A Back-to-Basics Experience

It’s that time of year again.  Spring has sprung and everything is gearing up for a busy summer season.  The kids need to get to practice.  The lawn needs mowing.  Your phone is ringing off the hook at work…

Three times a year integrative life and business coach Annelies Gentile and drum circle facilitator Greg Whitt co-lead a back-to-basics immersion for adults who need a break from their busy lives. Each event invites you to unplug in order to look within, get still, refresh and connect with others through creativity, mindfulness and the natural world.

Here’s what others say about our Unplugged experience!

  • “I had so many incredible observations about me and the world! This was a huge eye-opener!!”
  • “I had tons of new ideas, just by slowing down! I’m more creative and productive at work now and I’m nicer to be around. I actually feel better about who I am because I learned new practices on how to unplug.”
  • “Instead of wasting my time endlessly checking email and social media, I sat outside in the sun. I kept asking myself, how did I get this far from my center? I’m so grateful to have stepped away.”
  • “In my busy life, I never have a quiet moment to myself. What a gift to unplug, get quiet and still. Thank you for reminding me to unplug!”

 We proudly announce that with the help of Farrell Construction, we can add the East Cluster deck and roofs to that list ($50,000)!  East Cluster rooms contain 2 handicap accessible rooms, and it is the cluster closest to the Main Conference Building and Trinity Center’s dining hall.

 What’s next on our list?  We hope to complete 10 more rooms and the living room in the East Cluster by December 31, 2013. East Cluster’s deck, roofs and rooms 11-12 have been completed, leaving only rooms 1-10 to go!

How much is it to Sponsor a room?  Sponsoring a room will cost $20,000 and will include a plaque.  The actual room renovations is $16,000; $4000 will be placed into the endowment fund for upkeep throughout the years.

Cluster room renovations include: restructuring and complete renovation of the bathroom, replacing joists and subflooring as needed, new carpet, paint, furniture and linens.

 How can I help?  You too can help Trinity Center by organizing a fundraiser through your church, school or community and sponsor a cluster room as a group or simply by donating to the Trinity and Beyond Capital Campaign. Trinity Center will hang a plaque in the sponsored room in your honor.  Donations of any size are welcome!
