Place of Springs | Retreats

retreats

A retreat is a time to reset and refocus. It’s an opportunity to redirect our attention to God, giving ourselves space to appreciate the ways God is involved in every circumstance. We make room for discernment - a place to lay down our doubts and insecurities - to see things from a new perspective.

If you’re anything like us, your soul is thirsty for recalibration. Beyond the murmurings of fear and wonderings at the unknown, there is an invitation from God to turn aside from busyness and distraction and sit within God’s loving presence. Place of Springs is available to individuals looking for a retreat between one and five days in length. During this time, we are available to offer guidance or spiritual direction. Contact us for more information.

Once you have booked your session, you can make donations or deposits here.

creative retreats

Because we value creativity, I, Miranda, love to host guided art-making for both individuals and groups. Through song, video, poetry, classical art, collage and journaling, we gain perspective into the ways God is present amid our circumstances. We regularly facilitate themed, half-day creative retreats called ‘Selah Saturdays.’ It brings us joy to create an oasis for others to have peace and fellowship!

If you are interested, contact us. Anyone may participate! Once you have booked your session, you can make donations or deposits here.

Wilderness Encounters

The mountains of Andalucia, the Atlas Mountains of Morocco, and the Cairngorms of Scotland are all wonderful places to connect with oneself and God. Tim is a trained mountain leader who combines his love for hiking with his vocation as a spiritual director. Wilderness Encounters last one to five days and emphasize drawing closer to God while enjoying the beauty of creation.

If you live locally or your visit aligns with a scheduled hike, you're welcome to join Tim and a small group of men for a monthly walk - a time of reflection, connection and shared exploration of the beautiful Andalusian countryside. No need to commit to a full Wilderness Encounter to participate! Contact us for more information. Once you have booked your session, you can make donations or deposits here.
