Special Note for Families: This retreat is designed with both families and single individuals in mind, ensuring a welcoming and fulfilling experience for everyone. We will offer a variety of activities and programs for children, so parents can fully engage in their own spiritual well-being and workshops. While parents participate in these sessions, children will enjoy age-appropriate activities, providing them with entertainment and opportunities for growth. For single individuals, we have planned activities and sessions tailored to their unique spiritual and social needs. These activities will provide opportunities for personal reflection, community building, and spiritual growth.
Whether you are attending as a family or as a single individual, our goal is to create an enriching and supportive environment where everyone can grow and connect on their spiritual journey. We look forward to spending this special time with you in prayer, reflection, and fellowship.
