June 11 - July 23, 2025 | Wednesdays, 10-11:30 AM
Are you craving space to breathe and stay connected to God and yourself during the busy summer months? Join us for a 6-week journey into contemplative practices—simple, powerful rhythms that help you move out of busyness and into deeper rest, presence, and intimacy with God. Each week, we’ll gather for 90 minutes of teaching, quiet reflection, and group connection. You’ll learn practical ways to build stillness into your everyday life and leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and more fully alive.
Mind & Body: A Morning of Movement and Prayer on the Lawn
Saturday, June 21 | 9:00–11:30 AM
Join us for a sacred morning of connection and renewal under the open sky at The Retreat House. This gentle and restorative experience will begin with guided prayer practices to center your heart and mind, followed by a beginner-friendly yoga flow on the lawn. You’ll be invited to slow down, listen inward, and care for both body and soul.
This offering is designed to create space for presence, movement, and spiritual grounding—helping you reconnect with God, your body, and your breath in a peaceful outdoor setting.
Secure: A 3-Week Workshop on Attachment & Connection
Thursday, July 17, 24, 31 | 6-8:30pm
Join us at The Retreat House for a 3-week journey into the power of attachment and how it shapes our relationships with God, ourselves, and others. In a safe, reflective environment, we'll explore the foundational patterns of attachment, how they develop, and how they show up in everyday life. Through teaching, guided exercises, and group discussion, you’ll gain tools to cultivate greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and deeper, more secure connections.
Whether you're seeking healing, clarity, or growth, this workshop invites you to begin the sacred work of reconnecting from the inside out. This workshop is available in person or virtually.
Parenting from Delight
Sunday, July 20 | 12:30-5:30pm
Parenting is a long, exhausting journey, but what a gift! We want so desperately to “do it right” that sometimes we miss the wonder of these formative years. Let’s learn and share together some hope and perspective for connection and delight. These years are forming them and forming us along the way! This content is being offered in the format of a retreat to give you ample time for prayerful reflection and journaling with what is taught. Spiritual director, Allison Bradsher, will share from her own experiences of motherhood and spiritual formation.
Help for the Helper Private Retreats: Renewing Those Who Care for Others
For teachers, ministry leaders, church staff, and medical professionals, Help for the Helper offers a restorative retreat designed to nourish the soul and renew the spirit. This sacred pause provides a space for those who rarely have time to rest, reflect, or process what they’ve experienced. Through thoughtful teaching, guided silence, reflective practices, and shared listening, participants are gently invited to breathe deeply and be cared for. These retreats can be hosted at The Retreat House or a location of your choice, running from 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM.

Half Day Silent Retreats: A Space for Stillness
Thursday, June 26th | 9:30-1:30
Silent retreats at The Retreat House provide a sacred space to engage in silence and solitude alongside others. You’ll have time to journal, pray, walk the grounds, rest, or simply be with yourself. We’ll begin with a teaching to help guide you into the silence, then you’ll have time to be fully immersed in stillness. Coffee, tea, and light snacks will be available, and we’ll close the retreat with a time for sharing and enjoy lunch together. These half-day retreats are an opportunity to connect with God and yourself in a peaceful, quiet environment.
As always, the team at The Retreat House is honored to walk alongside you in your journey toward rest, renewal, and healing. Whether you're interested in scheduling a session with one of our incredible practitioners, planning a private retreat, or simply looking for a peaceful getaway in our cozy Cabin, we’re here to help. Feel free to reach out to us at hello@theretreathousememphis.com for more information. We look forward to welcoming you this summer and hope to be a part of whatever season you're walking through.
