"Ours is not a culture that is comfortable with sadness. It's awkward. It is unsettling.
it ebbs and flows and takes it own shape. It beckons to be shared."
~ Nancy Guthrie, Holding on to hope

OUR RESPITE RETREATS in the mountains are weekends designed to spend deliberately shared & relaxed time
with other individuals who understand the devastating impact of loss. There is a soul-quenching richness that comes from gathering together with others who share similar experiences of loss, with time and space to share with one another, encourage one another, and seek Christ together. Trembling Aspen Retreat was created by God uniquely leading us to this special quiet place in nature. Through our own journey with loss & experiencing the incredible gift of community, God gave us the specific desire to provide a place of respite for those who crave a place to heal & process through sharing their unique journey of loss, in a way that builds the close community God has designed us to be in. "May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." ~ Romans 15:5-6 Our respite retreats provide group spaces, while providing private space for individuals to rest away from the group in our cozy Forest Pods, each quietly nestled in the pine & aspen forest of the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. |
