Mental Reset

A Christian Co-Ed retreat for Anxious Hearts

This weekend retreat is for Christians 18+ facing mental or physical illness who need real rest and hope. Whether you’re battling anxiety, depression, burnout, or chronic illness—or just feel “tired on the inside”—you’re invited to slow down, be honest, and discover you don’t have to fix yourself to be fully loved by God.

Step away and find peace in a place that welcomes you exactly as you are.

Are you ready for a mental reset?

Feeling emotionally worn down, spiritually dry, or like no one understands you? You’re not alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: Will I share a room with others?

Because this is a cabin-style event, many rooms in a cabin of this size have multiple beds (i.e. – 4 queens, a king and a sofa bed, etc.). Be thinking of some fellow friends you might want to invite so that, if you want, you can easily share a room with someone you know (first come first serve!). Some queen and king beds are in their own rooms, however. This placement will also be first come first serve.

Question 2: I have a friend who wants to attend the event with me. Can we share a king or queen size bed?

Yes! If you have a friend, you need to choose the “2 males,” “2 females,” or “couple” option when checking out. This will charge the amount for both of you in 1 transaction.

Question 3: Can I get a refund on my ticket or downpayment if I have a change of plans?

Due to the pre-planning we have to pair attendees in rooms, work with vendors, finalize catering, etc., we are unable to provide a refund should you not be able to attend the event. This includes for any reason.

Question 4: What airport should fly into?

If you are flying, please book a flight into Columbus (CMH).

Question 5: My car is not 4-wheel drive. Will I be okay driving here?

Great news! While we will definitely be in the crux of Hocking Hills, this cabin is a great mix of views and safe roads. You will not need four-wheel drive to get to the cabin.

Question 6: What will the weather be like?

Weather in Ohio can be a bit predictable in June. It can be crazy hot and muggy or rainy with cool winds. Typically, it’s warm (around 70-80 degrees) with a few showers.

Please check the weather leading up to the event to determine what to bring. It is always slightly cooler in the woods, so dress in layers if you think you’ll be cold.

Question 7: Do I have to participate in the hikes/active activities?

Not at all. They are always optional, but we will try to pick trails accessible for all levels and gage this based on who signs up for the retreat. It will be a lot of fun, but it’s also totally fine if you just need some quiet time or a nap at the cabin during this time!

Question 8: Do you accept volunteers?

Yes! Reach out to [email protected] if you’re interested in serving. Note: Almost all volunteers are paid guests who stay on site. Occasionally, we allow special guests to come and go.

Question 9: Can I have a Queen or King bed to myself?

Yes! Choose “1 male” or “1 female” and “private bed” when booking. Limited upgrades are available.

Question 10: What is the Agenda for this retreat?

**Exact timing of the agenda is subject to change slightly and the final schedule will be in your welcome bundle.**
