The SOULWELL Journey
The SOULWELL Journey consists of 3 weekend retreats spread over a 5-month period that build on each other to facilitate life-changing transformation in your soul and spiritual life. *
It is our honor to come alongside and help you explore what might be holding you back from all that God has planned for your life, in order to transform more towards the image of Christ, where real freedom is found. You will experience peaceful rest in the Central Texas countryside with lodging at a comfortable retreat center with ample space to connect with God through nature. You will have your own private room and will be served amazing meals throughout the weekends as we journey together .
"Spaces designed to welcome the soul and support the inner journey are rare. It is not weakness to admit you are hurting." - Parker Palmer

The SOULWELL journey provides a rare opportunity to:
- connect with or get reconnected with God;
On the journey, you will take part of large group teaching and activities, while also having time to process your thoughts alone with Jesus. You will have opportunities to experience scripture in a more personal way. You will learn tools to help you explore deeper into your soul, in order to better understand the intersection of God's story with your own. We know that everyone is on their own unique path with God. While everyone will hear the same teaching, each person will have their own personal experience - this is the amazing beauty of God working uniquely in each of us and meeting us right where we are.
|
- dig into your life story and learn new spiritual disciplines;
Each retreat is designed with opportunities to experience scripture in a personal way and learn contemplative spiritual practices that will encourage your navigation deeper into soul territory. This will help you see and understand how God has planned your unique story and life experiences - both the good and the bad - for a special purpose .
|
- experience community with others;
You will not be alone. True intimacy with Jesus occurs through community with others. On each weekend, you will engage in large group teaching activities, in addition to processing in small groups and spending one-on-one time with God. You will be served and led by volunteers who have each been through the Journey and have experienced life change.
|
- lean into God more fully with all of your senses

Each retreat allows you to explore a combination of spirit and body work through SOULStretching and SOULCreate exercises that relate to the soul work, teaching you how to experience God through all of your senses.
Below is an overview of each of the Journey weekends and the registration links for the upcoming Men’s and Women’s SOULWELL Journeys. We are looking forward to meeting you.
Below is an overview of each of the Journey weekends and the registration links for the upcoming Men’s and Women’s SOULWELL Journeys. We are looking forward to meeting you.
Weekend One - AWAKENING
The first weekend focuses on "awakening the life-giving presence of God deep within you." You will gain a deeper understanding of God’s presence throughout your unique story, and gain a fresh perspective on the health of your spiritual life. We’ll provide useful tools and experiences - such as silence, stillness, and solitude - to create a more vibrant prayer life and a heightened awareness of the voice of God in your life.
This is what the Lord says, “Stand at the crossroads and look: ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.” - Jeremiah 6:16 NIV

Weekend Two - ARISING
The second weekend explores God’s design for your life through self-introspection, allowing you to "arise into who He created you to be at your core." You’ll learn the intricacies of how God created you, what might have gotten in the way during life, and how to allow Jesus in to heal your wounded soul. We’ll help you understand the emotions and thought patterns that distract you from experiencing life in the current moment, so you can be more fully present with yourself, with others, and with Christ.
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." - Psalm 139:13-14 NIV

Weekend Three - ABIDING
The third weekend teaches you how to live intentionally in the presence of God and in His unique purpose for you. As you learn to create sacred rhythms in your life, you will learn how to stay connected to Christ and protect your soul from burnout. You will also explore the calling of God on your life. As you walk in these practices, you’ll experience the Freedom and Fullness of life in Christ in a whole new way.
"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is fortified, that you bear much fruit." - John 15:7 NIV
There is so much more on each of these weekends that we can't wait to share with you. Over 450 women and men have now been through the SOULWELL Journey, and are experiencing new and significant freedom through the healing of Jesus Christ. We look forward to serving you and sharing this life-changing experience. Space on each journey is limited, so register soon!
