Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31

The Heartbeat of Our Retreats

Testimonials

  • "Recharged my soul..."

    “This wellness retreat recharged my soul. I felt so 'loved on', seen and heard. Driving home I felt a peace that I have not felt in quite some time. Getting to know new women, eating fabulous prepared meals, resting in beautiful accommodations and being lead by fabulous counselors was just what I needed. I am so grateful for this experience.”

  • "Time for self-care...with a diverse community of wonderful ladies"

    “I have been a part of MANY women's retreats, and this retreat has been the best. I loved the location, fun activities, and delicious meals. All guided by an amazing team of professionals. It was so good to take time for self-care, abide in God's love, grow and rejoice with a diverse community of wonderful ladies. I came back home feeling refreshed and restored. I am definitely coming back!”

  • "Joy, Safety, and Relaxation"

    “11/10 - the retreat surpassed all that I imagined. I didn't want to leave at the end of the weekend, and I already want to do another FreeFly retreat ASAP. This was one of the best experiences I've had in my adult life, and was a call-back to the kind of joy, safety, and relaxation I remember as a kid.”

  • "True rest. Mindful Meditation."

    “I would highly recommend the spring retreat. It was very restful and fun. It has made on impact on how I view true rest and how I want to take care of myself both mind and body. I enjoyed the focus of mindful meditation being on meditating on Christ and Scripture. I will be looking forward to going on the next retreat. Thank you Lauren and Alana for an awesome weekend.”

  • "All of the components of health and wellness, with God in the forefront"

    “This retreat truly made such a difference in my life and I am forever grateful. The women, alongside this retreat, made it special in the connections we all shared even immediately. We had resting and self-care time, time in the water and in the sun, time of learning and reflection, worship and the space to be still. Lauren, Alana, and the other staff members strategically put together this retreat and perfectly captured all of the components of health and wellness, bringing God into the forefront. I walked away a different person with a new tool belt and a new picture of who God is. He made this experience personal for me. There are not adequate words to describe this experience: it was a beautiful place and adventure, and I cannot wait until the next retreat!”

    Arrival time is between 4:30-5:30p on Thursday. This gives you time to get settled, explore the property, and/or hang out with others before dinner is served.

    Departure is scheduled for 2:00pm on Sunday and we ask you to plan your travel accordingly. Our last morning together is a powerful time of reflection, bonding, and closure that helps to consolidate learning and send you away empowered to continue your journey at home. It is our tradition to close out our time with a low-country boil and fellowship.
