Stop
Arrive in the mountains. Settle in. Share dinner together. We’ll introduce the practices of silence and solitude and prepare you for the day ahead.

Make room
Make room to stop.
Make room to listen.
Make room for God.
This isn’t a conference.
There won’t be a packed schedule of speakers and sessions competing for your attention.
Instead, we’ll provide a framework and then give you something increasingly difficult to find: time and space.
Time to pray. Time to walk. Time to read Scripture. Time to journal. Time to sit beside a fire. Time to be outside. Time to listen.
And perhaps even time to do absolutely nothing.
The setting
Get away without going far away.
Our retreat takes place on a secluded mountain property overlooking Lake Arrowhead, with lodge gathering spaces, fireplaces, outdoor decks and patios, and wooded paths throughout the property.
Property photographs are from an earlier listing and may not reflect every current furnishing or amenity.
The weekend
A simple rhythm: stop, listen, return.
Enough structure to help you enter the experience—and enough open space to receive what you need.
Listen
From the time you wake until the conclusion of dinner, we’ll practice silence. Walk, pray, sleep, journal, read, sit beside the fire, spend time outside, or use an optional guided practice.
After dinner, we’ll break our silence with worship and an opportunity to share what God surfaced during the day.
Return
After breakfast and a morning devotion, we’ll consider how to bring silence, listening, and intentional presence with God back into normal life. We’ll head home before lunch.
A technology fast
One weekend without the noise.
When you arrive Friday evening, we’ll invite you to turn in your phone for secure storage. You’ll receive it back when the retreat concludes Sunday.
We’ll also ask you to refrain from smartwatches, tablets, laptops, headphones, and personal technology. Before the retreat, we’ll provide an emergency contact number for your family.
This isn’t about rules. It’s about making room.
You won’t be alone in the silence
Personal support is available when you need it.
Practicing silence and solitude doesn’t mean you’ll be left on your own.
Throughout Saturday, the retreat leadership team will be available for optional one-on-one coaching, spiritual counsel, processing, and prayer.
Maybe something surfaces that you want help processing. Maybe you want prayer. Maybe you’d benefit from coaching around something you’re discerning. Or maybe you simply need someone to sit with you for a few minutes.
There is no additional cost for this support.
Your retreat leaders
Guided by people who know the value of making room.
Four leaders, two couples, and one shared desire: to create a peaceful place where you can slow down, listen, and become more aware of God’s presence.

Eat well. Rest well.

Stay in the mountains
Small matters here.
Guests will stay together in comfortable, shared lodge accommodations.
Shared sleeping spaces will be same-gender, with multiple bathrooms and gathering spaces available.
The retreat is intentionally limited to 19 guests. That gives us room for quiet, personal attention, meaningful conversations, and enough physical space for everyone to disappear for a while.

A few things you may be wondering.
Do I have to be experienced with silence or spiritual formation?
Not at all. We’ll prepare you Friday night and provide optional resources and practices throughout Saturday. You don’t need to know how to “do” a silent retreat.
Do I really have to give up my phone?
That’s part of the experience we’re asking everyone to enter together. Your phone will be securely stored, and an emergency number will be available for your family.
Do I have to remain silent all day Saturday?
Yes, with the exception of conversations with retreat leaders for coaching, counsel, or prayer when needed. We’ll break silence together after dinner.
What if I don’t know what to do all day?
That’s part of the invitation. Optional stations, Scripture, prompts, trails, places to sit, and other resources will be available. You do not have to fill every moment.
Can couples attend?
Yes. Because most lodging is shared and same-gender, couples may sleep separately unless one of the limited private accommodations is available.
What should I bring?
Comfortable layered clothing, walking shoes, a Bible, journal, personal toiletries, and anything else included on the packing list we’ll send before the retreat.
What about dietary restrictions?
Include any dietary restrictions in your pre-registration email. We’ll confirm what the kitchen can accommodate before your registration is finalized.
Before you rush back into the year
Maybe the most productive thing you can do is stop.
Maybe you don’t need another goal, another podcast, another book, or another plan.
Maybe you need space. Silence. Solitude. Rest. God.
