Experience the Poustinia

Letting God speak to your heart.

Poustinia means “desert.” 

Sometimes God draws us to a “deserted place” (Mk 6:31), free of distractions, because He wants to be with us and speak to our hearts. This kind of “desert” is open and free to God's love. 

 

“I will lead [Israel] into the desert and speak to her heart” (Hosea 2:14).

Our Poustinia is a beautiful and simple cabin designed for peace, solitude, and prayer — designed completely for God to speak to your heart.

 

You are welcome here!

Our Story

Dearly Beloved,

 

The Poustinia was born from a profound longing to love God completely and to experience the world with the fullness of joy that He intended for each of us. It is a place rooted in the belief that true fulfillment comes from surrendering to God’s will and embracing His presence in every moment.

 

Our story is much like yours.

 

Like you, we have felt the tug for something greater—the desire to know God more intimately, to love Him more deeply, and to live in a way that reflects His goodness and truth.

 

We are all longing for God's eternal love. Whether you are just beginning your walk with Christ or have traveled far on this path, The Poustinia exists to support, inspire, and encourage you. We invite you to spend a retreat with us. Seek Him wholeheartedly and discover the peace and joy that come from loving God above all things.

Yours in Christ,

Dr. Eugine Kinghorn
