The Heart Behind the Retreat:
Are you feeling emotionally worn down, spiritually dry, or like no one understands what you’re going through? You’re not alone. This weekend is designed for Gen Z Christians (18–30ish) who are struggling with mental or physical illness and looking for biblical and practical tools to find hope. Whether you’re living with anxiety, depression, burnout, chronic illness—or just feel “tired on the inside”—come rest with us.
This retreat isn’t about hustle. It’s about slowing down, getting honest, and discovering that you don’t have to fix yourself to be loved by God. You’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep pretending you’re fine.
Whether you feel disconnected, exhausted, or just in need of real rest, come step away and experience peace in a place that welcomes you—exactly as you are.
