Retreats

Enter into communal silence and solitude that invites you to unplug, listen, and hear God speak

It’s remarkable that solitude always calls us to community. In solitude, you come to know yourself as vulnerable and broken, yet beloved by God. In solitude, you realize that you are part of a human family and that you want to be together with others.

–Henri Nouwen

Come and join us in an intentional time of communal silence and solitude that invites us to unplug, listen, and hear God speak. In this space, we are reminded that the world is charged with the grandeur of God as we slow our pace, revel in the nature around us, reflect with a spiritual director, or engage with God through creative and literary mediums.

What we offer:

  • Guided in person Refresh silent retreats semi-annually and themed retreats seasonally

  • In person and virtual settings

  • Ranges in length, from a half day (4 hours) to a full weekend (Friday evening - Sunday afternoon)

  • Varying lengths of silence, with contemplative practices and themes to invite us into deeper connection with God

  • Collaboration with partner organizations and churches to create and adapt content for an experience that aligns with your audience

What Refresh participants are saying…

  • Woman on a path in a park surrounded by grass and trees

    "Silence can be scary and unfamiliar for some, while familiar and natural for others, but in either case, doing it with a group and with facilitation brings an added layer of richness and perspective that would not necessarily be available in solitude."

    Shiman, Refresh participant

  • "Refresh is the one retreat that genuinely feels restful to me because of how open the schedule is. If you’re craving a space to unhurry and simply be, you should definitely consider joining!"

    Priscilla, Refresh participant

  • "The Refresh retreat replenished and refreshed my soul, filling me with joy to rejoice and praise the Lord. After the retreat, I hungered for more of what God wants for me."

    Joan, Refresh participant

“As silence places us in such a receiving posture, however, we then give space for God to act, to speak, to surprise us. When we settle into that safe space of just looking at one another, we will find both God and our selves.”
