Throughout Scripture, we see people withdrawing from everyday activity for prayer, discernment, preparation, fellowship and rest.
Our retreat ministry provides individuals and groups with intentional space to do the same.
A retreat at Happy Acres may bring several ministry experiences together; Sabbath Rest, Sacred Sound, Baptism by Fire, CommuniTEA, Movement + Breath, Laying of the Hands, prayer, meals, outdoor fellowship, fire and quiet time.
The Goal isn’t simply to get away.
It’s to create enough distance from everyday demands to hear, rest, reconnect and return.
Many Experiences. One Ministry.

A MINISTRY OF BREATHE EASY SPEAKTEASY
Retreats at Happy Acres are offered through Breathe Easy SpeakTeasy (B.E.S.T.) 501(c)(3) nonprofit religious ministry.
Our Purpose is to create spaces for prayer, fellowship, education, recreation, hospitality, Sabbath rest, service and renewal.
Our retreat ministry brings these purposes together by creating intentional opportunities for individuals and groups to withdraw from ordinary routines and spend meaningful time in prayer, fellowship, learning, rest, recreation, hospitality, and community.
Some retreats last a few hours.
Others continue through the night or across several days.
Some are carefully planned.
Others intentionally leave space open.
But each begins with the same invitation:
Come away for a while.
WITHDRAW. RECONNECT. RETURN.
Space to step away.
Time to listen.
People to reconnect with.
Room to return renewed.
Come alone. Bring someone you love.
Pray. Talk. Reflect. Rest.
Whatever brought you here, we hope you leave carrying a little less than when you arrived.
Holding Space for Our Community to Grow & Thrive.
Retreats
A Ministry to withdraw, connect and return.
Sometimes changing your surroundings helps change your perspective.
