Or, perhaps when you do get a chance to be alone with Him, you desire a fresh encounter that draws you into a closer relationship with Him? This 1/2 day Spiritual Retreat for women will provide space for you to spend individual, quiet time with God using Spiritual practices like:

The Practice of Confession

The Practice of Prayer

The Practice of Gratitude

The Practice of Holy Reading/Lectio Divina

The Practice of Worship

The Practice of Journeying with Jesus

The Practice of Play (New this year!)

What we heard from last year's retreat:

• "to get away from the noise really helps to set your eyes on Him"
• "there are different ways to meet with God besides my prayer chair"
• "how absolutely wonderful it was to be with God in nature being still and quiet"
• "love the quiet, pondering, connecting with God time. Corporate worship and coming back to connect with each other and pray for each other was so important and appreciated!"
• "it was very helpful and inspiring for my own spiritual walk."
• "loved the flow and how there were directed or suggested activities but that we could be led by the Spirit and do our own thing."
• "thank you for adding painting. My spirit soared. I mixed this with prayer - Wow!"
• "I have never done a labrynth walk with praying towards the center. Beautiful!"
• "it is so hard to find time to quiet yourself before God. Being given an opportunity to do so is beyond helpful!"
