“My retreat experience was amazing. It’s hard to describe in words…some of my favorite parts were the sunrises and sunsets. Seeing God’s radiance in the light transitions of evening and morning were full of wordless meaning. I can miss so quickly that God starts everyday with such a proclamation of Himself quietly behind the world. I wish to have more of this…”
This is just a brief reflection from one of my Soul-Care Retreats years ago. Going on these types of retreats have provided specific set-aside time for me to draw near to God’s creation.
I have known for years that being in nature, walking, thinking and praying, has shaped my understanding of God and led my heart and thoughts to Him. Yet, so often I get bogged down in the busyness and pressures of life.
Soul-Care Retreats really help me to take a step back and reflect. By planning that time, I get to prioritize those special times between God and me.
I know I will never regret those sacred moments just with Him. My time could not be better spent.

As we journey with individuals and groups over the course of a year, there are a few themes that seem to come up again and again.These are two of them: Weariness and division. These experiences have deep roots. They take us into the reality of our hearts and into our experience of God.And can help us to glimpse a facet of God’s character and power that we wouldn’t otherwise see. They also help us to see ourselves, our habits, our needs, our natural responses to limitation and brokenness. And these are powerful areas to cultivate honesty in a prayer life. What would it be like to talk with God about your weariness What would it be like to share space with God and consider areas of division?
