Have you found yourself to be constantly busy? Are you feeling stressed out, full of worry, consumed by anxiety, and maintaining a pace that is “always on?”
Our Christian Mindfulness retreats focus on spiritual practices and activities that allow participants to become more aware of God’s presence. Light teaching in the morning helps to cultivate understanding of daily practices such as Scripture meditation, silence, solitude, personal prayer, journaling, and reflection. These practices will bring greater awareness of God’s presence in, with, through, and around you.
Romans 12:1 encourages Christ followers, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” It’s easy to fall into worldly patterns that keep us enslaved to negative thoughts and self-centered perspectives. This retreat will help you encounter God in fresh ways that renew your thoughts and refocus your attention to all the ways God is active and alive.

Retreat Format = 4-days / 3-nights
Day 1 - Slowing
· Begin the retreat by slowing down your mind, body, and soul. Releasing the grip we have on a fast-paced, “always on” life brings us to an openness to the presence of God.
Day 2 – Resting
· The first full day invites participants to rest. Take a nap, sit in nature, lose yourself in a good book, stroll through the mountainous landscape, or curl up by the fire. Rest in God’s presence and encounter His grace.
Day 3 – Finding Peace
· The second full day invites participants to draw near to God’s peace. We open ourselves to the work He desires to do by bringing peace to the areas that rage war in us. We seek Him, first, to be renewed by His peace.
Day 4 – Encountering
· Conclude the retreat by reviewing your retreat encounters with God through reflection and creating a plan to experience His presence each day upon your return home. Together, we will worship and celebrate the incredible grace of God.
