Spa for the Soul Retreats

Two days set apart —
to rest, to listen,
and to come home to yourself.

A Christ-centered retreat in a sacred garden in Carlsbad, California — for the woman who has been carrying too much, for too long.

Be still. Be known. Be loved.

WC SoulCARE — Retreats: Who This Is For
Is this you?

You've been the strong one.
The dependable one. For a long time.

You carry a lot — and you carry it well. But somewhere along the way, your own soul got quiet. Not because God left, but because life got loud.

You feel stretched thin — mentally, emotionally, or spiritually — and you're longing for something deeper than a weekend away.

You desire real, unhurried time with God, but life keeps filling the space before you ever get there.

You long for a peace that goes deeper than momentary relief — something that stays with you when you go back home.

You're ready to step away from the noise, breathe again, and reconnect with what — and Who — truly matters.

"You were never meant to carry this alone. There is a quiet place where God is waiting — and it has your name on it."

Matthew 11:28 — Come to me, and I will give you rest

What women are experiencing

These are real women who came carrying a lot — and left differently. Their words are the truest description of what awaits you.

"

This garden looks like what the Bible describes when God created the Garden of Eden — breathtaking and peaceful. All my anxieties left by the time I was done. When Janie prayed over me, something shifted. I left a different woman.

"

I received a revelation from the Lord during the lectio divina and spent my quiet time on the hillside simply absorbing what I heard. I left uplifted, encouraged, and more alive than I had felt in months.

I felt LOVE the moment I walked through the gates. The garden was breathtaking — so peaceful and welcoming. I came expectant, ready to go deep, and I was not disappointed. This is a place unlike any other.
