Nature & Spirituality Retreat

We have often been blessed by creation's gift of beauty and awe, yet these wild places also carry lessons in resilience, vulnerability, creativity, and the sacred rhythm of life, death, and renewal.

We invite you to spend a weekend exploring this deeper wisdom as it emerges through the natural world, scripture, and the stories we share-woven together into something meaningful and life-giving.

Whether you are seeking rest, renewal, or simply time away, this retreat offers space to breathe, listen, and grow.
