You weren't meant to walk this season alone.
Come away to be discipled, loved, and anchored in God's truth. Active Abundance pairs hiking with Scripture and sisterhood in some of His most breathtaking creation.
More than a retreat.
A discipleship pilgrimage.
Most retreats give you a weekend to rest. We give you five days to be transformed. Active Abundance pilgrimages are intimate, small-group experiences for women walking through difficult seasons, whether that's grief, divorce, burnout, a faith crisis, or simply a chapter you never planned for. We go into the wilderness together because that's where God has always done His deepest work.
What Makes This Different
Everything we do is built on a framework we call WILD, four pillars of discipleship that shape your entire journey.
W — Walk in Worship
Draw near to God in His presence and creation.
I — Ignite Faith
Strengthen your faith through Scripture, testimony, and surrender.
L — Lean on Community
Be known, encouraged, prayed for, and reminded you are not alone.
D — Dwell in God's Word
Anchor yourself in truth and learn to hear God personally through His Word.
What Your Days Will Look Like
Guided Hikes
Every trail is chosen with purpose. We hike not as a workout but as a pilgrimage, moving through creation while God moves through us. Each hike is paired with Scripture and reflection, turning every step into an act of worship.
Worship
We gather to sing, pray, and draw near to God together. These aren't performances. They're moments of surrender, where women who came in carrying heavy things begin to lay them down.
Scripture Meditation and Biblical Teaching
Guided time in God's Word woven into every day. Through teaching, testimony, and personal reflection, you'll sit with Scripture, wrestle with it, and hear from God in your own season.
Solo Time with God
Intentional space to be alone with your Creator. Some of the most powerful moments on a pilgrimage happen in the stillness, when it's just you and God and nothing to rush toward.
Community
Shared meals. Honest conversations. Prayers spoken over you by women who just met you but already love you. This is sisterhood that goes deeper than surface-level small talk and stays with you long after you get home.
What Past Pilgrims Say
The Active Abundance retreat experience was life-changing. Everything was planned so well. Even the unplanned moments were lasting memories I will never forget! The leaders are doing great work discipling women through wilderness seasons, putting God first and foremost. The retreat came at a perfect time on my journey with God and will always be a time I remember lovingly. I’m grateful for every woman on the trip and for having a supportive community of friends.
-Amanda Barnal
I came to this pilgrimage during a season of exhaustion, anxiety, and emotional weariness. I left with something I didn't even know I needed. Being immersed in nature was refreshing and restorative and the quietness and simplicity of the outdoors reminded me of God's presence in a way that brought real peace and healing.
One of my biggest breakthroughs came on the very first day when I realized I wasn't going to make it to the top of the mountain. At first, turning back felt like failure but, as I hiked back down, I found myself surrounded by breathtaking beauty I would have missed otherwise. In that moment, God began teaching me that His presence isn't reserved for mountaintop moments. He is just as real in the valleys.
Coming home, I've been intentional about slowing down and creating space to rest. I'm learning to be present and take care of my mind, body, and spirit. But one of the greatest gifts has been the relationships formed along the way. What started as a pilgrimage has become a sisterhood. I've gained sisters for life and that truth continues to shape my priorities every single day.
If you're considering going: just go.
