Dwell Away | Women’s Retreat 2024
When was the last time you truly felt rested and deeply connected to God, yourself, and friends?
The pace of our world seems to continue increasing. Yet even with overflowing schedules, many still find themselves feeling alone. The longing for rest and connection has never been more profound.
We’re thrilled to invite you to Dwell Away at Sky Ranch, marking a return to the cherished tradition of going away together to nourish our souls, support one another, and find solace in shared experiences. Sky Ranch is beautiful! 360 acres of piney woods, open fields and private lake for us to enjoy. Read your favorite book on your cabin’s porch or the lake dock. Spend time playing with friends on the ropes course or riding horseback through the woods.
As we have been praying and planning this time, our team is dedicated to:
- Creating a safe and relaxed space where you can be your authentic self, free from judgment or expectations.
- Offering a variety of lodging options and accommodations for different dietary needs.
- Providing a carpool option to make your journey as smooth and stress-free as possible, whether you’re coming solo or with a group.
- Curating a diverse range of activities tailored to reflect the many ways participants have fun and find rest.Â
Our hope is that you’ll find the restorative power of rest and bonds formed during retreat to be transformative.
We cannot wait to see you there!
