A retreat on finding clarity in the ever-changing messiness of life, and discovering what God is asking of you 

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.” (Isaiah 40:31). 

Life can be overwhelming with life’s changes coming at unexpected moments, new job opportunities, relationships shift over time, experience of loss, major milestones arrive, decisions that keep circling without answers — it all arrives whether we’re ready or not. In the middle of all the messiness, it’s easy to feel weighed down: unsure of what you want, and unsure of God’s plans for you. 

Left unanswered, these moments can wear us down — and make it harder to hear where God is leading us next. 

If you’ve been asking: 

• Why is life feeling so demanding 

• Whether what you’re feeling is coming from God, or is just noise 

• How to make a decision that’s been sitting heavy on you 

• What God is asking of you right now 

• How to meet what’s ahead with real strength, confidence and faith 

This retreat is for you. 

Discovering God’s plan for me is a one-day retreat that walks you through a practical process for meeting life challenges with clarity and strength and discovering the pathway God has for you. 

What you’ll come away with:

• A renewed ability to read your own moods and interior feelings, and understand what they’re telling you 

• A clearer sense of whether your feelings are leading you toward God or away from Him 

• Experience of spiritual conversation and sacred listening as tools for finding clarity 

• A practical, repeatable process for tuning in and making decisions with more confidence 

• Renewed clarity on what God is asking of you in this part of your life 

• New connections with others navigating their own transitions and decisions
