Thanks for inquiring about our Guided Respite Retreat.  We trust that you will find the rest and refreshment you are seeking. Below you will find a little more detail about what your retreat will look like.

Your time with us will include 5 days and 4 nights of being pampered in a beautiful location with your own private suite.

Each retreat will host two couples at a time, (one couple in Maui).

Upon your arrival on Monday afternoon, a light snack will be served. On the evening of your first night, there will be a casual dessert gathering to get to know each other. 

Breakfast is provided daily at an agreed-upon time. Lunch and dinner will be on your own.  Restaurants are minutes away for your dining pleasure. If you so choose, you will also have access to the kitchen at the lodge to cook/prepare your own lunch and dinners, however, this is your time for rest, so we strongly encourage taking full advantage of the opportunity to rest…even from cooking!

Each day after breakfast, John and Jennifer will offer 30 minutes of spiritual direction/thoughts for the day designed to help you focus on quieting your mind and hearing from the Lord.  This is not intended to be a heavy lift or a deep dive internally, but more of a refreshing pause before you start out on the daily activities of your choice.  After our time in the morning, the rest of the day is yours to come, go and do as you please. John and I will always be available to chat, but we let YOU set the pace. (Scheduled tours/ activities can be arranged if so desired).

Before you leave on Friday, you will spend an hour with John and Jennifer reflecting on what the Lord has impressed on you during your time away, as well as contemplating “Next Steps” when you arrive back home and re-engage into your normal activities.  

Again, the focus is always to help you find the rest you need and an opportunity to hear fresh from the Lord.

You spend all your time serving others, now we are here to serve YOU and give your a much-needed break.

And the best part is, with the exception of your travel and any meals out that you do,

ALL OF IT IS AT NO COST TO YOU!
