Retreats
“Restore” retreats offer a refuge and temporary withdrawal from reality to facilitate personal restoration. With unique tools, activities and community, we help you restore purpose, passion and above all, peace.
Join us for our next retreat:

Upcoming Retreat:
Happily Hitched
Couples Retreat
February 14-15, 2025 That's right. Valentine's weekend!!

A fulfilling marriage takes effort, compromise, and intentional action. With a perfect mix of fun adventures, amazing food, interactive workshops and a focus on strengthening relationships, this will be a weekend to remember! Come with an open mind and the goal of meaningful connection and we will take care of the rest.
What will you experience at Restore Retreats?
Community
Life is hard, but it's better when you're surrounded by the right people. Those who attend "Restore" are ready to cheer each other on, encourage growth, and laugh together. We leave our masks at home and come as we are: imperfect, honest and eager to make the most out of life with a bit of grit, tenacity, and many tempting treats!
Fun and Adventure
What's a getaway without some adventure? When you're with us, your only task is to have more fun than you planned on! With choices including ATV rides, skeet shooting, hiking, horse-back riding, biking, tons of indoor games, cold plunges and soaking in a hot tub, we've got options for everyone. Yes, even you!
Practical Tools
Inspiring workshops and conversations are powerful, but without practical ways to implement change, they can also be fleeting. We thrive on giving you results-focused frameworks that will give you the momentum and support you need to create real change in your life. You set the goal, we help you take the steps - even beyond the retreat.
