Welcome to Well of Mercy, a sacred space of renewal and nature’s beauty, where the symbolism of the butterfly guides your own path of personal growth and transformation.  This retreat offers a nurturing environment where you can find solace in the quiet whispers of God guiding you on a deeply personal journey of self discovery and renewal.  Embrace Your Wings is a signature Well of Mercy retreat which explores the profound parallels between one’s own journey and that of the butterfly.  Each stage of the journey will be explored.  

Beginning with the Egg, we will take time to just “be” in the Quiet at the Foundresses Garden. With the Caterpillar, we will navigate the Labyrinth’s winding paths. In the Chapel, experience the nurturing embrace of the Chrysalis. As you wander through the Meadow, feel the anticipation of freedom like the Butterfly Emerging. On the bridge, may you cross into new horizons, carried by the gentle flow of water, symbolizing the Butterfly in Flight-where you spread your wings and soar.  

There will be time on your own…you can breathe, read, journal, lay in a hammock or swing, walk the prayer path or trails, watch the fluttering butterflies, rest, sleep, dream…

Retreat includes:

  • Two nights accommodations
  • Five nutritious, delicious, complimentary meals
  • Snacks, tea, and coffee 
  • Private in-room coffee service, with access to a refrigerator . You are welcome to bring beverages or supplemental food items
  • A special Curated Collection of Embrace Your Wings items including a Copy of Embrace Your Wings Retreat Guide 
  • All retreat materials

To preserve the sacred, intimate nature of this experience, space is intentionally limited. We invite you to listen to the gentle nudge within—if you feel called, you may want to reserve your place soon before the retreat fills.

Come as you are… and leave with wings.
