SIGN UP ANYTIME FOR ONE of OUR
self-guided RETREAT OPPORTUNITIEs
We have begun offering self-guided retreat opportunities. You get to choose where and when you will pull away to spend a day with God. We will provide you with everything except a comfy chair and your snacks. After you sign up, you will receive audio meditations to help you slow, engage with some scripture and a short teaching. You will also receive downloadable retreat materials including devotionals, scripture, guided experiences and questions for reflection on the day.
Sign up now, figure out your own date and then we will send you the next day the materials for you to do on your own.
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me – watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
sa·cred adjective \ˈsā-krəd\ dedicated or set apart for God
sacred. is all about setting apart space to meet with God vs. adding one more thing in your already busy, margin-less life. We believe out of this space God will grow you and you will see more clearly his deep love for you.
STILLNESS
We believe life doesn’t have to feel “insane.” We can learn to live a life where the reality is that all of
“my life is sacred…period.”
We want to guide you to places of quiet and rest where you can hear God and sense his presence.
We know his presence can become your sacred reality everyday.
Silence & Solitude
“A natural outcome of solitude, silence, and rest in God is that we become more grounded in God’s unconditional loving presence as the ultimate, orienting reality of our lives. In that Presence, we are able to celebrate the goodness of our created selves as well as inviting God to show us those places where we are still living in bondage to sin, negative patterns, and a way of life that just doesn’t work.”
REST
“STAND AT THE CROSSROADS AND LOOK; ASK FOR THE ANCIENT PATHS, ASK WHERE THE GOOD WAY IS AND WALK IN IT, AND YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.”
