Retreat Information

In His Presence

Retreat Weekend

We're Invited...

...each day to notice God’s loving presence, but let’s be honest, it can be hard in the messy details of our lives.

What if the mountains and the valleys were actually the very places He wanted to show you more of His presence instead, we run and hide?

He invites us to a feast, a table, prepared for each of us to live each day in His Presence!

This weekend of retreat will be a time to come as you are and be a soul in God’s presence. Psalm 23 will guide us in a deeper journey with Christ and each other.

We will walk with Christ in the valleys and mountaintops and prepare to enter Lent on Sunday!

This retreat will offer spiritual practices to notice His presence in the midst of our day to day lives!

We will have times of gathering for prayer and reflection, silence and solitude and sharing. I hope you will join us!

”The Lord did so many sweet things in me~I found myself craving even more alone time with Him. I haven’t been doing enough. I feel called to add intentional pauses into my day to experience more of Jesus!” ~Retreat Attendee

“It is ok to just be. He doesn’t always give profound insights. Sometimes He just wants you to sit in His presence. This time is so needed in our world. Thank you.” ~Retreat Attendee

“The Discernment Group has been a time of introspection and deepened love of God. Through the practices we have learned, I’m experiencing a renewing of loving the Lord with all my mind, body and soul! The deepened spiritual formation has led to choices about my health, job and spirituality that have been a positive change in my life,” ~Discernment Group Attendee

“The Discernment Group has shown me new ways to listen and pay more attention to what God is telling me. I stop to ask myself more often of where do I see God in my experiences? I am more aware of His presence. The group has helped me on my journey in growing and strengthening my faith and love for God.” ~Discernment Group Attendee

Want Me to Facilitate Your Retreat?

What is a Spiritual Retreat?

A retreat draws us into God’s presence and Communion with Him!

A time to come away from the busyness of life to be with God. It is an intentional space for group reflection, silence, solitude to be in God’s presence and experience His deep love in meaningful ways. This is where our soul can receive what it needs so that we can be the person God has created us to be. Jesus modeled this rhythm in his own life. He practiced being with His Father away from the noise and busyness. During this time, I will facilitate and lead the individual or group in spiritual practices.

Emilie Griffin says in her book, ‘Wilderness Time’, “Retreat offers us grace to be ourselves in God’s presence without self-consciousness, without masquerade. Retreat provides the chance to be both physically and spiritually refreshed. It is the blessed opportunity to spend time generously in the presence of God. In such a time, God helps us to empty ourselves of cares and anxieties, to be filled up with wisdom that restores us.”

What Would a Facilitated Retreat Look Like?

I would meet with the individual, group, or team leader to create a plan for our time together. I will provide guided reflection based on your group's needs. I will provide the space for group time. Time in silence and solitude and then coming back together to process in small groups. Some of the themes for a retreat might be:

Discernment

Healing our False Images of God

Exploring Stuck Place

Time to Breathe

Prayer Practices

Soul Care

Becoming

Being Curious

Noticing


I’m happy to customize the theme to your group’s needs as well.
