For the first time in many years, we are setting aside intentional space - not to accomplish produce, or strive - but simply to listen. To be still. To encounter the Presence of God in a deeper, more life-giving way. Together, we will gently uncover the soil of our spiritual lives. Through meaningful teaching, honest reflection, and practical rhythms, we will learn how to tend that soil so that something vibrant and alive can grow within us again. This is an invitation to be revived. Throughout the day, you’ll be encouraged and challenged by voices of wisdom, led in worship that draws you closer to God’s heart, and invited into practices you can carry into your everyday life. But more than anything, this retreat is about creating space—space to breathe, to listen, to reconnect with the Source of your life and calling. Come away from the noise. Come be rooted. Come be revived.
