Stillwater Retreats

A Deeper Journey of Healing, Rest, and Renewal

Our Stillwater Retreats are designed as immersive, Christ-centered 3-day healing experiences for individuals or groups longing for deeper rest, reflection, and renewal.. Inspired by Psalm 23—“He leads me beside still waters; He restores my soul”—these retreats are designed to nurture the mind, body, and spirit through Christ-centered care, equine-assisted experiences, rest, and reflection.

At Soulful Strides, we believe people are not broken projects in need of outside fixing. We believe many already carry wisdom, strength, and truth within them, but trauma, fear, shame, grief, pain, or disconnection can make it hard to access. Stillwater Retreats are designed to create the kind of peaceful, honest, and supportive space where those deeper truths can begin to rise to the surface.

Grounded in our healing pillars of Faith, Love, and Horses, these retreats allow participants to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with God in a more intentional way. Over the course of the retreat, individuals engage in meaningful experiences with horses, Christ-centered reflection, faith-based support, and restorative practices that invite peace, clarity, healing, and renewal.

Because the retreat setting removes many of the usual distractions of daily life, it often creates room for deeper awareness, breakthrough, and spiritual restoration. We believe the Lord cares deeply about each person’s healing and can bring peace, comfort, direction, and healing in ways no program or person can manufacture. Our role is to create sacred space, support safety, and trust that God will meet people in what is true and needed.

Whether experienced on their own or as part of a larger healing journey, Stillwater Retreats offer a deeper invitation to rest, be restored, and move forward with renewed hope, peace, and purpose.
