Creative Souls Retreat
February 6-8, 2026 |
Women's retreat
Shores of St. Andrew, The Village
March 6-8, 2026
Fee: $200
Take a holy pause. Step away from daily stressors and escape to Shores of St. Andrew for a weekend of spiritual freedom, fellowship, and fun. Together, we’ll dig deeper into the stories of women in the New Testament and explore how their witness continues to shape our faith lives today.
Through discussion, reflection, and creative practices—like watercolor, journaling, doodling, prayer pebbles, and hands-on prayer stations—you’ll be invited to encounter scripture in new ways. Each participant will create their own scripture journal, a personal space to write, create, and reflect while sharing perspectives with others.
Come ready to meet incredible women and connect with friends—whether it’s your best gal pals, staff alumni besties, church buddies, or even that neighbor God has been nudging you to invite. Register by Tuesday, February 24.
