Linwood Spiritual Center

Linwood Spiritual Center Linwood Spiritual Center hosts retreats and programs encompassing spirituality and human development. In addition, Linwood features yoga and arts programs.

Facilities are also available for non-denominational individual, group & corporate retreats. Linwood, a 51 acre property overlooking the Hudson River, was a gift to the Society of St. Ursula from Jacob Ruppert Schalk . Schalk, having no heirs wanted to leave Linwood to someone who would respect its beauty and use it for a good purpose. Our good friend, Rev. Robert Saccoman, who was assigned to Goo

d Shepherd parish in Rhinebeck and often visited Mr. Schalk, introduced the sisters to him and was instrumental in our receiving the property. Schalk died in October, 1963. Some sisters came to Linwood the following year, and lived in the Schalk house. In 1967 the 1883 wooden-frame mansion was replaced by the retreat building and the new structure was officially dedicated in 1968.

8-Day Directed Retreat ~ September 12 - September 19, 2025

A directed retreat invites us to be especially attentive to the movement of the Holy Spirit within an atmosphere of solitude and silence. Regular meetings with an experienced director provide opportunities for talking about one’s prayer to discern how to continue to listen carefully to what God is saying in my life. Scripture and life experience provide the primary material for prayer.

Benefits of Foot Reflexology
September 10, 2025
1:00 pm - 4:00 pm ~ $50

Foot reflexology is a treatment that’s been practiced for centuries. It involves applying pressure to different points on the bottom of the feet that correspond to various organs and structures of the body. So, by treating the feet we are bringing balance to the body, energy and mind.

Reflexology has multiple benefits, including reducing stress and sinus issues, aiding digestion and elimination, relieving congestions and headache, and promoting sound sleep. Come join us as we get familiar with our foot reflex areas and learn a new way to treat a variety of common health disturbances.

Presented by Joy Scarano, LMT. Joy has been teaching for 30 years, has been the Director of an alternative health center and loves sharing what she’s learned thru her life experience and studies of health and the body.
