Southatlantic

Our facil­ity sits on a tran­quil salt marsh on the out­skirts of Brunswick, GA and is bor­dered by a tidal creek flow­ing from the Tur­tle River. Egrets, Snowy, Lit­tle and Great White, pop­u­late our marsh, along with dozens of other species of bird. The egrets are soli­tary by day, but roost together at night, seek­ing safety in their unique com­mu­nity. Hence, our name, Egret’s Roost.

Your visit will be a ven­ture of five days, begin­ning with lunch on Mon­day and con­clud­ing with lunch on Fri­day. The offer­ings of your stay will be uniquely tai­lored to your needs and wishes. We pro­vide con­sul­ta­tion, life-coaching and spir­i­tual direc­tion through­out your stay at a pace which is casual and reflective.

Egret’s Roost is a Val­i­dated Min­istry of Savan­nah Pres­bytery, Pres­by­ter­ian Church (USA).

Our hosts are Ken and Vicki McKen­zie. Dr. McKen­zie has over 30 years of expe­ri­ence as a Pres­by­ter­ian Min­is­ter, Coun­selor, and Gen­eral Pres­byter. He has been exten­sively trained through Pres­by­ter­ian Dis­as­ter Assis­tance in Crit­i­cal Inci­dent Stress Man­age­ment (ICISF), and is a mem­ber of the Inter­na­tional Coach Fed­er­a­tion. Addi­tion­ally, he offers skills in spir­i­tual direc­tion, medi­a­tion, con­flict res­o­lu­tion, and as an orga­ni­za­tional con­sul­tant to churches and mid­dle gov­ern­ing bodies.

Vicki has vast expe­ri­ence in youth direc­tion at the con­gre­ga­tional and mid­dle gov­ern­ing body level as well as min­istry to col­lege stu­dents. As a pastor’s spouse for over 33 years, she brings ter­rific insight into the real­i­ties which face those who are mar­ried to clergy and other help­ing pro­fes­sions. Together, they form a dynamic team which will assist you in dis­cern­ing your needs and begin­ning the path toward heal­ing and wholeness.

Accom­mo­da­tions for your stay include a king-size suite with bed­room, pri­vate bath, liv­ing room, kitch­enette, break­fast area and a pic­ture win­dow view of the marsh. Meals, with the excep­tion of Wednes­day evening, are included and pre­pared to your preferences.

Wednes­day after­noon and evening are offered as a free time for you to enjoy the beauty of the sur­round­ing area and try out some of our local cuisine.

By way of activ­i­ties, we fea­ture canoe, kayak, river cruises, fish­ing and trips into his­toric Brunswick, St. Simons Island, and Jekyll Island for sight-seeing, shop­ping and din­ing. Golf and ten­nis are also avail­able at the nearby Her­itage Oaks Coun­try Club.
