REGISTER NOW What people say about Velvet Ashes Retreats Velvet Ashes retreats have deeply affected my spiritual journey in the best possible way. They have become non-negotiable events in my year; they’re part of my story as well as a significant experience with my group of friends I do them with.” Emilie Ever since I participated in my first VA retreat I have used the retreats to be my rhythm to pause and tend to my weary soul. Each one has looked different (location, numbers, etc) but each one has brought healing, a deeper experience of God’s love, and more intimacy with the Lord.” Ali One of the many things I appreciate about Velvet Ashes retreats is that the sacred space is already held for me. The decisions about how to retreat have already prayerfully been made, which makes it even more restful to step into a retreat. I also appreciate the visual beauty of the videos, etc. and all of the thoughtful details of the retreats, like getting a digital goodie bag.” April Wondering how to prepare and what to expect?

The Retreat is designed in a flexible way so that you can find an option that best works for you: Two nights – It’s truly ideal to get away for two nights.This is a new recommendation for this year, because experience has taught us this is what works best, especially for groups. We’ve found there is real value to arriving at your Retreat location in the late afternoon. Then you can begin the Retreat in the evening followed by a whole Retreat day the next day. Then you don’t have to worry about packing up and leaving until the following morning. There is something about having a full day with no travel (even short travel) involved that is especially renewing. It allows your brain to unplug from any details or to-do’s for a whole day. This two-night format is the best fit for the flow of the Retreat. Find a hotel or guesthouse where you can retreat. We know that won’t be possible for everyone. But do try. Use the VA Retreat as an invitation to care for your soul in a way that you normally wouldn’t allow yourself. Because chances are, you need it.
