"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!”
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
