The Journey Home Retreat

Our Journey Home retreats are three day/two night retreats aimed at helping you feel more at home in the love of God. These retreats are stand-alone retreats that cover the highpoints of our year long Eden Cohorts which involve three Retreats:

• Knowledge of God - Helping leaders encounter God as better than we believed him to be. 
• Knowledge of Self - Helping leaders embrace the beauty and limits of who they are as the beloved of God. 
• Pace & Practices - Helping leaders establish a pace and practice for a life of relational flourishing.

The majority of our retreat spots are reserved for people who are in an active leadership role in their church, their ministry organization, or the marketplace. 

The cost to attend our Journey Home Retreats vary depending on the location of that retreat.

The fee includes everything you need while on retreat: a private room and bath, all meals, and daily refreshments. The Journey Home Retreats are a summary of our Eden Lead Year formation which is a balance of: audits, content, ongoing practices, stories, and group discussions to provide a right-brain experiential (re)training. Throughout the The Journey Home Retreat you’ll experience:

• A taste of Relationally safe environments conducive for souls (which are very shy) to open up to love.
• A taste of discovering and reforming your own emotional image of God.
• An example of how resources, retreats, and relationships can and will deepen all of your relationships.
• An explanation of what a “triad” is and how to implement it in your own life. 
• Have a sample of takeaway insights and practices that you can apply daily with God and weekly with others.

Once you’ve submitted your preferred retreat, we will contact you with more information about attending. If you have questions at any point, you can contact info@edenteam.org. Complete this application form and pay the $25 fee to apply to attend a single retreat and experience a taste of feeling more at home in the love of God.

The registration fee includes all room and board and the materials and facilitator costs. Participants will be responsible for travel expenses to and from retreats.

Yes. We will serve healthy and nutritious meals; and they try to accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions. We inform the kitchen/catering staff when we have individuals in our group who have some special dietary needs. This will accommodate vegetarian and gluten-free options for those who specified that when registering. 

We build our retreats and cohorts for both marketplace and ministry leaders, both female and male. The Journey Home Retreat is ideal for those who are hungry for more with God, who are experiencing a low ceiling in their relationships, or who simply sense that there has to be more to Christianity than they are currently experiencing. 

If you have been formed enough in Christ to be an imperfect, but committed disciplemaker…

If you are hungry to experience more with God than you’ve known…

If you are willing to admit your neediness before God… 

…you’re a great candidate for Eden Lead.
