CITW gives retreatants the chance to unwind, read, pray, take a long stroll in the outdoors, journal, and even express themselves artistically. It gives individuals the chance to reflect and space to consider life. A perfect place just be.
Christ in the Wilderness (CITW) is a hermitage retreat center in the northwest corner of Illinois. Here all are welcome to relax, reflect, and enjoy solitude in a tranquil environment. Our guests value nature, wildlife, and star-filled skies-all so evident here-but the special quality of Christ in the Wilderness is that it is a spirit center where people of all backgrounds feel at home. In this environment, everyone's journey in life is reverenced as sacred and unique.
