Program is here – Epworth 2026 Retreat | May 1–3 | Monte Toyon

Imagine... Rest and Revitalization in the Redwoods

Retreat is open to all – No one is turned away for lack of resources.

Hit   p a u s e   on the noise of everyday life, and reconnect with what truly matters.  Join us for our annual all-church retreat, where we’ll gather to deepen our relationships with one another, and hold space for mindfulness, reflection and creativity as paths to deepen spiritual practice, and provide a solid foundation for our lives.

There’s something for all ages – it’s an accessible site, childcare will be provided during adult programming, and kids can frolic, play games, and use the climbing wall.

Programming

Saturday:

Morning yoga with Melanie Green, and birding

Adult program:  Imagination and Renewal will include a labyrinth walk and creative activities to spark the imagination and renew the soul. Led by Judy Cayot and friends.

The children and youth will have time with Steve Coambs and August Riske.

1pm: labyrinth walk for peace (coinciding with World Labyrinth Day!)

Afternoon pickleball, rock climbing wall, games, (or opportunity for rest, reading, etc) and more.

Saturday night culminates with the legendary talent show (and usually an impromptu dance party!)

Sunday morning: we’ll have a fun worship service before departing

Breathe, discover, and grow in community with others on the same journey.

We can’t wait to see you there!
