So many things in our world are distracting us from the still inner place of true knowing.

This retreat is an opportunity to take a brief step away from the noise so we can engage life with deeper sincerity, purpose, and presence.

We intentionally don’t have tons of activities planned. Instead, we’ll do a lot of work with stillness, and we’ll offer reflections that lead us into true self-knowing and prompts that engage our imagination.

In stillness, we remember what our inner being has always known is true, and carry it with us as we live, move, and have our being, even in the noise of the outer world.

Our hope is that from this weekend together, you’ll find deep rest in who you truly are, clarity about what you’re here to do, and a grounded sense of peace as you move through life.

What we’ll experience together:

Stillness, Meditation & Prayer
Guided and silent meditation that settles the chattering mind and opens space to rest in the Presence within

Contemplative Prompts
Intentional reflections that help you move beneath the surface and into true self-knowing

Imagination Techniques
Prompts that engage the imagination in the presence of the Spirit, allowing your inner being to reveal what it already knows is true about your life and path

Listening for Clarity
Learning to recognize the quiet prompting of the Spirit and discern how to move in the world from your True Self

Spacious Time
Unhurried blocks of space to reflect, walk the grounds, journal, rest, and simply be

Digital Detox
Designated no-phone zones and times, so the outer noise can quiet and the inner voice can be heard

Real Friendship
Sharing meals, stories, and laughter with fellow seekers who take the path sincerely but don’t take themselves too seriously

The Space

The retreat will be held at Questhaven Retreat Center, a Christian mystic center founded in 1940 in San Marcos, CA. With 655 acres dedicated to serving those on the path of union with God, Questhaven offers a quiet, spacious environment that makes stillness feel natural, right here in San Diego.

This retreat is for you if:

• The noise of the world has left you feeling scattered, tired, or disconnected

• You feel a little confused or disoriented about your purpose and direction

• You’re craving real stillness, not another packed schedule

• You sense God is closer than you’ve been able to feel lately

• You want clarity on how to move in the world that’s true to who you are

• You’re curious about how imagination and the Spirit work together

• You want to rest, reflect, and reconnect with others on the path

You do not need to:

• Be good at meditation (the chattering mind is welcome, we’re all sorting that out together)

• Have your “beliefs” all figured out (if you do you this may not be for you)

• Be at a certain “level” spiritually (not into that)

• Come from a specific religious background (which is fine if you are)

• Know all the mystical terminology (it’s just words anyway, man)

We just ask you to be willing…

Willing to slow down, to listen, to get honest, and to let God meet you in the stillness, right where you are.

Who we are:

If this is your first time getting to know us, we’re a mystic contemplative community bridging ancient wisdom with contemporary spiritual awakening.

We hold to the perennial philosophy that runs through all genuine spiritual paths and find our origin in the esoteric / mystic Christian tradition while drawing deeply from the worldwide wisdom traditions.

We believe (a word we use lightly around here btw):

• The divine image lives in every human being

• Direct spiritual experience is available to all

• Contemplation and action are inseparable

• Community amplifies individual awakening

• Laughter and depth go hand in hand

• The spiritual path is both sincere and joyful

We’re not trying to convert more believers. We’re supporting each other in becoming more fully alive, more fully ourselves, more fully the expression of God we were always meant to be.
