Revive 2025 Schedule
Proposed Schedule below (subject to change)
You get to choose your own breakout sessions - all teaching and exercise/movement sessions are included in your Registration. Full breakout/workshop descriptions found HERE!
The specialty craft workshops (like the wooden planter and jewelry workshop) are an additional cost and must be paid for separately. Spots are limited and first-come, first-serve for those workshops - they will be removed from the website once full. You may purchase your regular Registration and go back at any time to purchase a spot at one of those specialty workshops (as long as there are still spots open).

We will email you a map + instructions the week of the retreat. Please be checking your email for this.

12pm - Brunch (NEW!)
Brunch will be served to attendees after they go through registration so check in, grab your retreat bag, then head right to the Reception Barn for a delicious hot meal from LeFebvre's Catering.
We plan our retreat to begin after local church services so you can still attend a service, meet up with your friends, then head straight to the retreat for brunch and a relaxing day together.
