Holy Ones, in an age of constant digital connection, embodied presence has become exceedingly precious. We invite you into an intimate, Holy Spirit–led gathering in the living beauty of the Appalachian Mountains—a space for renewal, activation, and embodied communion.
LUMINOUS is a transformational retreat rooted in living and functioning in the Resurrection Light and Spirit of Christ Yeshua. It is about embodying our God-designed purpose —to be fruitful and multiply, replenish the earth, and steward creation for the prospering of Life for all.
This gathering is not focused on acquiring new concepts. It is about being established in and operating as who we already are: the New Creation Species through whom the Civilization of Life is revealed, sustained, and governed.
We gather to Arise from the slumber of the old self-life and to Shine as those radiant with the glory and brilliance of YHVH. Together, we mature in our divine function and engage Heaven on Earth not as a distant hope or abstract theology, but as a tangible, embodied reality expressed through our innermost being.
Our rhythm will hold both growth and rest — revelatory teaching, practical application, activations, prayer, prophecy, movement, embodiment, nature connection, and authentic relational space.
“Arise [from spiritual depression to a new life], shine [be radiant with the glory and brilliance of YHVH]; for your Light has come."
Isaiah 60:1

Retreat Location
At this retreat, we will stay at or close to the property to allow spaciousness to digest, reflect, and apply what you will be learning.
