Optional Soul Care Retreat Extension | Additional $199

If you're longing for a little more space to rest and reconnect with the Lord, we invite you to stay for an optional one-night Soul Care Retreat following the Advocate Retreat.

Designed as a self-guided silent retreat, this experience provides intentional time away from the distractions of everyday life through guided reflections, Scripture, and moments of solitude. The retreat concludes Sunday morning as we gather together for worship and a final time of reflection.

Your registration includes an additional night at Rosen Shingle Creek, Saturday lunch, continental breakfast on Sunday morning, and all retreat materials.
