Retreat Overview
The 2025 Soul Care Retreat is a two-day experience designed to help you rest, reflect, and hear from God. Held in a peaceful, monastic-style setting, this retreat offers space to step away from the noise of everyday life, slow down, and reconnect — with God, with others, and with your own soul. Through guided reflection, worship, and honest conversation, we’ll explore five key questions that shape who we’re becoming. You don’t need to come with anything figured out. Just bring a willingness to be present and open to what God might want to say.
