The Journey Home Retreat

La Palmilla

The Journey Home Retreat is a two-night retreat designed to deepen your connection with God, yourself, and others.

Prioritize a few days away and we’ll help you experience more of what you were designed for in Eden.

When

January 26-28, 2026

 

Plan to arrive on the first day for registration and a welcome reception by 3:00pm. The first session will begin promptly at 4:00pm.  Plan to stay until our hard stop at 12:30pm on the final day of our retreat. 

Your retreat journey will begin one month before the start of the retreat through our curated pre-work. We encourage you to set aside a hour a week to engage deeply with God through your pre-work.

  • $700 per person for Double Occupancy (Shared Room)
 

Each person must complete a registration form, even if you are attending with someone else. If you are willing to share a room but don’t have a roommate, we can pair you with someone else at the Double Occupancy rate.

The Journey Home Retreat is a safe place to lay aside your responsibilities at home and work to simply be souls before God. The reality for all of us is that even when we are in a healthy season, we long for more, relationally.

During The Journey Home Retreat you’ll experience:

  • Safe retreat environment conducive for souls (which are very shy) to open up to more of God’s love
  • A reformation of your own emotional image of God
  • Resources that will deepen all your relationships
  • Guided practices to help you live more at home in the love of God
