What if Monday wasn’t the day you dreaded—but the day you most looked forward to?
At Maryville Retreat Center, part of the vibrant network of retreat centers in Michigan, we’re reclaiming the start of the week with Mondays at Maryville—a gentle, soul-nourishing one-day retreat created for anyone seeking quiet, clarity and connection.
Forget the calendar chaos. Forget the inbox avalanche. This is your invitation to begin again—not with hustle, but with holiness.
A Different Kind of Monday
Imagine this:
You arrive just after sunrise. The mist lifts from the fields. A breeze rustles the trees lining the walking paths. There is no to-do list, no pressure—just space. Space to breathe. To be. To listen.
On 240 acres of peaceful Michigan land—woods, waters and wide open sky—this spiritual renewal center welcomes you to rest in God’s presence. Whether you need time for deep prayer or simple stillness, this day is yours.
Want to bring your laptop and work from a place that feeds your soul? You can. With a private room and strong Wi-Fi available, Maryville Retreat Center offers the perfect blend of sacred stillness and modern flexibility. Reimagine remote work—with a view of Lake Elliott.
