Virginia Five Day Academy for Spiritual Formation

Participating in the Five-Day Academy was one of the best things I have ever done for my mind, body, and spirit. While the learning times were engaging, thought-provoking, and hope-filled, it was the worship and plentiful time for silence and reflection that was so life-giving, allowing me the opportunity to simply be in God’s presence and to renew a sense of where and how God is leading me into the future. The added bonus was that the food was awesome and the fellowship of friends old and new was wonderful!

Five days of worship, engaging lectures and discussions, silence, reflection, covenant groups, great food and fellowship. Everything was intentionally choreographed to provide a spiritual respite and space for God’s healing work. I was welcomed, nourished and well cared for by the exceptional faculty, leadership team and staff. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone longing to be refreshed, renewed and in the presence of God.
