The Tree of Life Retreat

From its roots in the Garden of Eden to its role at the end of the Book of Revelation in the New Testament, the tree is a central metaphor throughout the Bible.

Join a weekend of meaningful conversation and rich storytelling and learn how, connected to Jesus, we’re able to live lives of resilience, meaning, and joy.
