Many of us wake-up by our phone alarm. Then we check Facebook, scroll down to see the news, check to see who has messaged us. We then go to work and of course use the computer until it is time to go home and either watch TV or watch TV and browse online, all the while messaging friends and family.

A stay at Cragmont can offer you the chance to live away from your phone and just focus on what is happening around you.

A routine keeps us on task and keeps us moving when things are hard (which can be often). It also gives us space and a structure to work within but it can also make us feel trapped in monotony.

By spending time at Cragmont, you can break up your routine and begin to see life in a different light and enjoy the things around you. Sometimes breaking your routine is just as important as having one.

In our busy world, connecting with God has become more difficult than ever. We have become people that juggle many things. Most of which are good things but still, things that keep us busy and distracted.

There is something so very special about being at Cragmont. Nestled in the mountains, surrounded by woods, listening to the birds and the bugs in the trees and breathing in fresh air. It is like hitting the pause button on life. Pause on all the distractions life brings. Pause on all the pain and hurt that we may be carrying. It can be in that pause that we connect with God again.
