Will I be pressured to stay in the church, or leave the church?

No. Our mission is to help each individual find inner stillness so they can find their own way forward. Decisions guided by an individual’s inner light are far more powerful than those made due to external pressures. We know that each individual has unique circumstances and must choose their own path. We seek to create an atmosphere where both those who do and those who don’t participate in religion will find relevance, emotional safety, and peace. For those who want to continue participating in church, we can help you find inner peace as you move forward and navigate the complexities of faith remodeling. Whatever your outer context may be, we are committed to helping you find inner harmony for your journey.

Will my participation be kept confidential?

Yes! We understand the importance of maintaining confidences for those navigating faith crisis, faith transition, or faith remodeling. We do not publish or share information about participants.

What difference do these retreats make?

Participants can expect to find healing and relief as they connect with others who are experiencing similar challenges. The compassionate environment and people help alleviate feelings of isolation and despair. As participants understand and take ownership of their spiritual path they will find peace and hope for the road ahead. We trust that participants will have transformative experiences that lead them toward inner harmony.

Will I have to share in front of others?

No. We treat any participation as a gift. It is optional.

What will I experience at a retreat?

Compassion. Participants will have the opportunity to feel deep compassion for others and have the chance to experience the healing that comes from being deeply heard. One of the highlights of each retreat is the sacred opportunity to deeply listen to others’ journeys. Regardless of where your journey has led you, you will find compassion with us.

Stillness. Each retreat includes instruction about finding inner stillness and opportunities for participants to experience stillness through meditation, nature, journaling, and other contemplative practices.

Inspiration. As we experience compassion for others and inner stillness, inspiration flows and we find direction for our own journeys.

Harmony. Participants leave the retreat with more than understanding and tools — they leave with hope. You'll find companionship with others walking their own sincere, uncertain paths, and discover that you are not alone on the journey. Whether you are questioning, blossoming, or somewhere in between, you will leave with greater clarity about your next step and a renewed sense of direction for your spiritual life. The connections formed and the inner peace cultivated at the retreat become steady companions long after you return home.
