Description: Based on Nehemiah 8:10 “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” No matter how busy or overwhelming life becomes, God’s joy remains a steady place to rest. He meets you in the simple moments, the everyday tasks, and the small things that make you smile. Come join us for a refreshing and uplifting women’s retreat—five days set apart to breathe, reconnect, and rediscover the joy God freely gives. Morning presentations will include input, reflection, activities, and sharing. Afternoons offer personal time, giving individuals the chance for spiritual direction, bodywork, campus exploration, time in the art room, as well as an optional daily group activity. Consider adding our Friday evening sound meditation to your retreat to aid in your renewal.
Fee: $395 overnight (single room) or $225 commuter
