Experiences on Retreat

Nancy October, 2019
"I was blessed by my time at Koinonia! The accommodations were comfortable, clean and conducive to rest as well as conversation with other attendees. Meals were healthy, abundant and very tasty. It was a joy to participate in the rhythms of life at Koinonia and get to know the brothers and sisters who carry on this long legacy of Christian community, as well as to remember the ones who went before and established this community in rural Georgia."
Jack October, 2019
"Just a few notes: Although I was only there for the weekend, it was clearly evident to me, that living in community was God's plan for his children all along. Woops...I did not intend to give an opinion. Call it an observed fact. ???? On hospitality: meals were wholesome and prepared with much love. Hmm...does that count as opinion or just plain fact? Doing dishes is rewarding. Brother Lawrence who livid in 17th century Christian community would approve! And remember to NOT leave thy towel in the bathroom. It is very awkward when it is borrowed by another guest. ???? By God's grace, I will look forward to visiting again."

"We have just done there our life seminar in the HOLY SPIRIT and I am very happy with Koinonia Farm meets all that one needs to carry out a retreat of this magnitude, rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, parking, place for children to play, and Where they take the talks, is a place of peace that is it. Most importantly, thank you to all those who are part of Koinonia Farm.."
Tom May, 2019
"Brought old friends to experience Koinonia and attend Sunday School with President Carter. It was a wonderful, but too short of a stay."
Catherine April, 2019
"I really enjoyed touring Koinonia Farm and learning about its history. It's also great to find a source for organically grown Georgia pecans and other products!"
Denise March, 2019
"We very much enjoyed our experience on the farm. The 4 days we spent visiting the farm were relaxing, informative, renewing, peaceful, welcoming and beautiful. The housing was great! Very simple, yet very comfortable and relaxing refreshing. One of my favorite parts was Judy sitting on the screened in patio in the back and Judy listening to the sounds of the farm. Peaceful, silence with birds chirping, tractor in the distance and other sounds from life in the farm. We thouroughly enjoy the day of our Airbnb experience with farm tour and helping in the bakery. Being a part of the early morning prayer and devotional times, community meals, fire pot on Thursday night and being included in the talk led by Alma were all activities that made us feel very welcome and a part of the community. I would love to visit again and spend more time. I hope as Travis continues to be a part of this community that I have an opportunity to return and help the farm in meaningful ways. Thank you for an enriching and wonderful time."
Jerry-Sandy February, 2019
"My family was overjoyed with our experience. The lodgings were comfortable and the environment was peaceful. We will go back every year because because we were so pleased."
Davis February, 2019
"A few friends of mine camped at Koinonia overnight for only $10/person. There was a kitchen nearby that we used to cook all of our food (advice: the kitchen is a bit spare when it comes to pots and pans, so bring your own). Koinonia Farm was an integrated Christian community of African Americans and white folks living together, starting in 1942. As such, they were fiercely resisted by their racist neighbors (bombings, shootings, Klan rallies), but refused to leave. It is also the place where Habitat for Humanity was founded. I enjoyed learning about this history and being at the same place where such courageous and kind people had once lived."
Ivan February, 2019
"Although we are writing for "retreat.guru" we were not on a retreat but rather on a service assignment. The work was varied and interesting on the farm itself. There were also opportunities for service in the wider community that were worth while. Being part of the community life at Koinonia Farm was especially meaningful, although we didn't feel we got to know anyone very well."
Paul February, 2019
"The facilities were simple but more than adequate and in keeping with the vision of the farm, the tour informative, and the hospitality gracious. The chocolate was, as always, superb."
Fairy December, 2018
"Always love being at the farm. Enjoyed working in the bakery & celebrating Christmas with everyone. Super!"
Tim November, 2018
"Koinonia Farms was a gracious host for our groups. They were very kind and helpful to all of the members of our team. They assisted us with emergency lodging."
Dawn October, 2018
"Thank you Koinonia family for hosting Habitat for Humanity International's Black Employee Success Team's Inaugural event. It meant so much for us to reconnect with our spiritual roots. Your hospitality and open arms made "coming home" easy. Oh, and the food was fantastic!! Dawn Daniels McNear"
bernardo September, 2018
"I learned a lot about Konoinia's history from the tour, which included the viewing of a powerful documentary. I recommend the store where you can purchase local organic products. I would like to thank Konoinia's staff for the hospitality."
Angeli July, 2018
"I like that Koinonia Farm is absolutely grounded in its history and in its foundations. Also love the food served for lunch, especially because of the care that the community gave to food that they farmed, prepared, baked and cooked. Two thumbs up!"
Thom July, 2018
"My wife and I enjoyed lunch with the Koinonia community on a Friday in July, then toured the farm. Though not a particularly busy time on the farm as our visit coincided with the down time between seasons, we appreciated the tour guide's willingness to treat the two of us with genuine compassion and hospitality."
Myra July, 2018
"Would have liked more interaction with the staff. The lunch was good. Our host was well informed. I would like to have seen the crops and enteracted with the farm animals. Less than I expected but still enjoyed."
Dave March, 2018
"Our family had a wonderful time at Koinonia Farm during the Clarence Jordan Symposium in 2018! The accommodations were wonderful, we had access to a full kitchen, which was a big plus for our special needs with food. Great spaces for terrific conversations. You feel like you are walking on sacred ground when you learn about the history-- make the trip!"
Tato March, 2018
"First of all, for the sake of full disclosure, I'm on the Board of Directors for Koinonia Farm. Not withstanding, Koinonia Farm is a wonderful place with a rich history dating back to 1942. The orchards provide a beautiful backdrop that you can also interact with if you so choose. Accommodations are hostel style with bathrooms in each hallway. All the rooms are comfortable, clean; I've enjoyed staying in those rooms in each of my visits. Additionally there are RV hookups as well as camping space."
tanya March, 2018
"I found my experience at Koinonia Farm renewing and uplifting. I enjoyed my short time living in community. I benefited from getting to meet people who are not ordinarily a part of my existence in the world. Talking. Interacting. Doing chores together. Breaking bread at the table with one another .....all of this was healing for me. I am truly a city person, born and bred, so it was so important for me to be in this rural hamlet. Being on the farm with the community there opened my eyes to so much about what the soul needs to be warmed and revived."
David March, 2018
"I spent a year interning at Koinonia in 2015 and learned what a wonderful place this is for spiritual practice, both in the community morning chapel and other services as well as personal practice on the beautiful land. When I was an intern I found a new practice and I found a new one this time as well! For details, if you are curious, you can read about my early experiences with dream yoga and other stories from my time at Koinonia, on my blog: http://oceanofspirit.org/davidgaiakano/faith-to-practice-presentation-spiritual-dancing-dream-yoga-at-koinonia/"
Carl February, 2018
"We really enjoyed our time spent at Koinonia Farm. The staff were friendly and made us feel at home. The fellowship was great as we got to know and work and worship with folks from different backgrounds and various parts of the country. We enjoyed being a part of a group that works toward spiritual growth and living out the Christian life in a way that helps the community as a whole. It was also good to be able to involved in the physical work of the farm, doing what needed to be done to keep up the day to day needs that are a part of working farm. Great accommodations with great meals. We would truly recommend Koinonia farm for anyone who is looking to do some volunteer work for a few weeks or as a place to simply enjoy a spiritual retreat. We saw so much opportunity for others to get evolved in the mission and goals of Koinonia. A place we will seriously consider returning to if opportunity allows."
