Things To Know:

  1. What spiritual beliefs are welcome?  It is our hope that, regardless of your spiritual belief, that you will find that you are welcome, heard, accepted, and encouraged on your path. Some will reference God, others “higher power”, still others will hold an agnostic or athiest understanding.  In every conversation we want people to be free to talk freely about their spiritual journey and each persons point of view to be held in understanding and honor.
  2. What does Soul Care Seattle believe?  We believe that each and every person is a loved, child of God worthy of all dignity and respect. Our “spiritual directors”, and your retreat leader, Dan, are Christians, and as such, we seek to meet those we meet with love, honor, respect, and dignity. Our beliefs, perhaps like yours, are personally held.  We believe it would be unlike Christ to hold an agenda for someone else or for their beliefs.
  3. What if I have a lot of right anger against and distrust of the church?  Please come, you won’t be alone.
  4. What if I don’t golf?  PLEASE come!  We are intentionally scaling back the focus on golf for the sake of more time together. Join us! You (and others) will be glad you did.
  5. How big a group is this?  We have beds for eight, with three sharing a large bonus room. If people are open to overflow we can hold up to 12 comfortably. Are you a camper? Sleeping on the patio furniture is a cherished event.  Father & Son or good friends may consider sharing a king bed.
  6. Can I have my own room?  Maybe… but remember, the weekend is short. The weekend is about being comfortable with your humanity and honoring the humanity of others.  I am pretty sure you’ll be tired enough to sleep through anything. The more willing we are to share, the more each of us will grow and the more people we can include. The pay off is the gift of a weekend away together.
  7. Can I spend Thursday Day at Suncadia if I don’t play golf on Thursday? Absolutely! Come and enjoy the quiet in the way that suits you best.
  8. When does the retreat actually begin? Our opening session begins 7:00pm sharp on Thursday evening.  Bonfire follows. For those who can make it, we will serve dinner at 5:30.
  9. Can I pay more to support Soul Care Seattle?  Absolutely! Thank you! Instructions will be on the registration page.  We have intentionally kept costs down in order to make the weekend more accessible. While SCS is blessed to have The Layne donated for ministry purposes, SCS (Dan & Renee) rely on donations for our salaries, medical, and ministry expenses. Thank you for considering supporting this care ministry.
