Welcome to Pathways Retreat
A spiritual retreat center for Rest, Reflection and Renewal.
Daily Prayers to Resume August 15
May the God of acceptance bless you,
calling you always to look with love on your own being.
May you know God's unconditional acceptance at each moment
even as you question and search in the struggle for peace.
May your acceptance of all God’s people free them for their search.
May the God of acceptance be with you.
-Maxine Shonk

On August 23rd, Pathways will present a request for an additional zoning variances with the City of Goshen Board of Zoning Appeals. These variances are needed because of our planned development of Meadowlands. From the city’s perspective, these plans are an expansion of Pathways and must be approved by the BZA.
Of particular interest to the city is our desire to build an open air pavilion so that small groups can gather outside, protected from rain and bad weather. In addition, we would like to occasionally host groups of up to 20 people for creation care work days. This expansion will have minimal impact on our neighborhood, and offer a significant benefit to the community. If you’d like to see the complete application to the BZA or the master plan for Meadowlands, please email.
Please pray that we will successfully navigate the bureaucratic requirements of the government agencies so that we can continue to fulfill our mission of providing rest, reflection, and renewal so that all may know love and wholeness.
If you’d like to pray with your hands, you can support our application by calling or writing to the city planning office at Goshen Board of Zoning Appeal, Attn: Rossa Deegan, Assistant Planning and Zoning Administrator, 204 East Jefferson Street, Suite 4, Goshen, IN 46528. 574-534-3600. You can also attend the BZA meeting at 4pm August 23rd in the Goshen City Court Room at the Police/Court building 111 E. Jefferson St.

Strategic Plan Approved
