This is our core weekend experience.
Whether you’re navigating faith transition, rebuilding trust, wrestling with questions, or deepening your roots in a new way, this retreat is designed to help you find harmony without losing yourself.
Harmony doesn’t mean avoiding tension. It means learning how to hold it — compassionately, honestly, and with strength.
Faith journeys often bring turbulence — emotionally, spiritually, and physically. This retreat offers a steady, compassionate group environment where you can experience the calming effect of shared presence and learn practices that help you regulate your own nervous system when things feel overwhelming.
Friday 6:00–9:00pm
Saturday 9:00am–8:00pm (lunch & dinner included)
Sunday 9:00am–4:00pm (lunch included)
We conclude at 9pm on Friday and 8pm on Saturday to give participants time to head home or to a hotel.
What We’ll Explore Together
Friday Evening — Arriving & Settling In
We’ll begin by creating a warm, safe, and welcoming atmosphere. Through introductions and shared expectations, we’ll establish the tone for the weekend — one of honesty, respect, and courageous conversation. You’ll have space to share your story as you feel ready, and to begin building trust within the group. We will end at 9pm on Friday to provide time to return home or to a hotel.
Saturday — Mapping the Journey & Navigating Turbulence
Saturday is our day of exploration and practical tools.
We’ll explore the common characteristics of faith journeys — the patterns, transitions, and stages many of us move through — and begin mapping where we’ve been in our own stories.
We’ll also practice how to work with turbulence when it arises. Through guided inner practices, you’ll learn tools for self-regulating your nervous system — so that doubt, fear, grief, or uncertainty don’t overwhelm your capacity to stay present.
Lunch and dinner are included, giving us space to continue conversations informally and deepen connection. We will end at 9pm on Friday to provide time to return to their home or hotel.
Sunday — The Inner World & Moving Forward
On Sunday, we turn inward more fully.
We’ll explore not only how to find peace within the inner world, but how to discover something even deeper: clarity, direction, and a sense of peace that doesn’t depend on external certainty. Sunday includes time to reflect, integrate and consider what your next purposeful step will be.
The retreat concludes at 4:00pm.
What Makes This Retreat Unique
This is not a program designed to pull you in a particular direction. The weekend is designed to foster clarity, integration, and inner steadiness through thoughtful discussion and guided practices. It’s a compassionate, structured space where complexity is welcome and growth is honored.
Faith turbulence is rarely easy. It can feel unsettling, emotional, even destabilizing. And yet, it can also become an extraordinary opportunity for growth.
When we learn how to stay present with inner tension — rather than fight it or rush to resolve it — we’re no longer at the mercy of it. Throughout this retreat, you’ll learn grounded, practical practices that help calm your nervous system and bring clarity when things feel chaotic.
Our hope is that you leave not just with insight, but with confidence — confidence that dissonance doesn’t have to overwhelm you, and that you can face challenging circumstances with steadiness and courage.
From that steadiness often comes clearer thinking, wiser decisions, and a deeper sense of peace — even in the middle of complexity.
We intentionally cap this retreat at 15 participants to preserve intimacy and meaningful conversation.
