About Lucy
I'm Lucy Fox, Chief Welcomer at Gift House Retreats.
Beginning in the 90s, I spent one week per year here in silence. Some years I read. Some years I set words aside entirely. Some years I spoke only to the dog. Some years, not even that.
What stayed constant was the healing in the silence. This place and this practice became my bedrock — the thing that carried me through the challenges of young adulthood, year after year.
When I became a mother, the practice paused. Now that my daughter is a teen, I've come back — and I've learned something new: silence shared in community is even more powerful than silence alone.
Additionally, after 30 years as a psychotherapist, I'm comfortable with the full range of feelings and style of healing that quiet can allow— and I trust silence to do its gentle work.
