About Willow Grace Retreats

Discover the Heart Behind Willow Grace Retreats

At Willow Grace Retreats, we believe every woman needs a sacred space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with God. Our retreats are designed to be a spiritual breath of fresh air, moments away from everyday demands to find peace in His presence.

Over one weekend, we create space for Scripture, prayer, worship, and quiet reflection, all set in the beauty of nature. Whether you come with friends or alone, you’ll be welcomed into a faith-filled community where your heart can be still and your soul refreshed. Hear His voice, and leave renewed.

What’s Coming Next

Upcoming Retreats

Willow Grace Retreats meets every three months, offering intentional space to rest, reflect, and be renewed in God. Each retreat includes scripture, prayer, worship, and quiet reflection in peaceful natural surroundings. Women leave refreshed, strengthened, and reconnected with a faith-filled community committed to spiritual growth and encouragement. Details for the next retreat are below:

January 2026 Retreat

Persistent Prayer

PUSH | Pray Until Something Happens

30 January – 1 February 2026 | QCCC Mapleton

This retreat is an invitation to return to consistent, steadfast prayer. In a world that values quick results, we’ll take time to slow down and rediscover the strength that comes from staying in conversation with God. The early church prayed constantly because they trusted that God listens, moves, and answers in His timing.
