What is Chrysalis? PDF  | Print |  E-mail

A Chrysalis flight is a three-day weekend retreat focused on spiritual renewal and formation for teenagers.

The approach of the nondenominational program is centered on New Testament Christianity and the model of Christ's servanthood as a lifestyle.

 


Chrysalis is aimed at teens in upper-level high school grades (15- to 18-year-olds) and is designed to give a greater understanding of God's love and it application to everyday life.

Coastal Carolina Chrysalis generally hosts two spring and two fall walks at Garden City Chapel & Retreat. Boys and girls attend separate Chrysalis weekends.

Caterpillars attending a Chrysalis flight are sponsored by someone who has previously attended a Chrysalis or Emmaus weekend. Emmaus is a spiritual retreat for adults.

Chrysalis gets its name from the growth stage a caterpillar goes through before becoming a butterfly. The process changes a monotone, lackluster creature into a beautiful, vibrate butterfly with intense colors and the ability to fly. This symbolizes the change possible as Christ transforms people into what He intends them to be..

Our Deepest Fear
by Marianne Williamson from A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

teenagers to learn about God’s love and
to understand that His love is limitless!
The experience lets boys and girls know
