2025-2026 Cohort
We are so grateful you are considering joining us this year. Through intentional gatherings and reflective retreat practices, we cultivate experiences that restore the soul, strengthen relationships, and foster healing.
We care for those who are weary by offering nourishment, rest and connection. During our gatherings, faith leaders share meaningful meals, engage in contemplative practices, and participate in guided small group discussions.
