Women's Contemplative Retreat Spring 2026

Dallas Willard once said: "If you don't come away for a while, you will come apart after a while."  If you’re looking for a place to “come away for a while”, consider joining us April 10-11 for a women’s contemplative retreat at Rock River Retreat, located 40 minutes NW of Ames. Participants will enjoy having a gracious space to engage in contemplative practices that help us listen to God, rest with God, and be with God.

This spring’s retreat costs $75; partial scholarships are available. We will gather between 3-6 pm on Friday (April 10) and end Saturday night (April 11) by 8 pm (with an option to stay an extra night).

Please register at ccames.org/women. The retreat typically fills quickly, so don’t delay if you’re interested. If you register and your plans change, fees can be refunded up until three weeks before the retreat itself.

More details about the retreat will be sent to registrants closer to the date. In the meantime, please feel free to contact me with questions at agreenwald6@gmail.com or 515.231.7049.

**If you are on the waitlist you will get an additional email with additional details.
