As an overflow of JourneyMates’ work, our retreats and resources extend beyond our walls, inviting nonprofits and churches into deeper rhythms of discernment, soul care, and spiritual attentiveness.

JM Restore Retreats

JourneyMates creates contemplative retreats for nonprofits, churches, and groups who long for unhurried time to simply be with God. These retreats offer space for soul care, renewal, and deep listening—an invitation to invest in the spiritual well-being of your team.


Resources

Some examples include guided discernment for planning and decision-making, as well as practices like the Examen for spiritual reflection and vocational evaluation.

Testimonials

  • "We are creating something new at the Study Center for students to experience the welcome and wisdom of Jesus. From the start we have been convinced that anything new like this has to start with prayer. JM has helped us turn that conviction into a reality through Rooted, a series of 'mornings apart' where students can come, slow down, rest and learn to hear from the Lord who always has a word for us."

    Tee Gatewood, Executive Director

    NC State Study Center

  • " After a full year of programing serving over 300 youth in crisis, our staff was feeling heavy and weary. Journey Mates lead by MVY came and did a morning apart for our staff at our Ranch. It was a glorious morning with the morning sun warm on our backs, we shared a time of reflection on a powerful scripture on Rest for our Souls and spent time in silence with the Lord. Our staff was filled and overflowing with the presence of the Healer God who met each of our weary souls. We can never thank JM enough for the gift of ushering us into the presence of the Lord! "

  • “I have had the privilege of sharing our home for others, as well as myself, to enjoy a JM Restore Retreat on behalf of Generosity Triangle. It is such a blessing to hear individuals share how God met the attendees in so many personal and meaningful ways. An honor to be a part of it!”
