What is a Soul-Care Retreat?

Soul-Care Retreats are refreshing, restorative, and re-aligning for our relationship with God and with others. Rather than striving for success in our jobs, homes, families, even with God, we are able to slow down, remember the truth of our lives, and begin to enjoy life again.

It is in this solitude that we discover that... we are worth more than the result of our efforts.
— Henri Nouwen, Out of Solitude

Some of our most looming problems are really issues that can be addressed and readjusted in a simple, extended time with God. God doesn’t always give snap-chat answers, but takes His time with us to form us, as long as we’re willing to step into this season with Him.

“Let him who cannot be alone beware of community. He will only do harm to himself and to the community. Alone you stood before God when he called you; alone you had to answer that call; alone you had to struggle and pray; and alone you will die and give an account to God. You cannot escape from yourself; for God has singled you out....

“The mark of solitude is silence, as speech is the mark of community… Right speech comes out of silence, and right silence comes out of speech...There is a wonderful power of clarification, purification, and concentration upon the essential thing in being quiet.”
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together

What if your problems didn’t need to be fixed or dismissed or bypassed, but actually addressed and transformed in a personal time with the Lord? If Jesus needed this time with His Heavenly Father, how much more would we need this time with Him?

A Soul-Care Retreat can look very different depending on need, circumstances, personality, preference, location, relationships, season of life and more. How do you know if you're ready? Why not utilize our Soul-Care Retreat Preparedness Questionnaire to discern how God is leading you?
