What to expect
The purpose of a spiritual retreat is time set apart to be in quiet, rest, and solitude with God. Retreats remove us from noise and distraction, and into a place of spiritual refreshing and renewing. Living according to God’s will for our lives is an ongoing process that is grounded in our relationship with God. It involves cultivating a life of recognizing and responding to God’s presence in all aspects of our lives.
Cost for this event is $310*. Your payment includes 7 meals (including unlimited coffee and tea throughout the weekend), snacks throughout the weekend, a room and fresh linens for your bed and hygiene, a commemorative t-shirt, and use of the event space.
