John Philip Newell and Cami Twilling will join us later this year for our annual Earth & Soul Retreat. Originally scheduled for October 2024, this year's event will cover the third of a three-part series on Celtic Wisdom. Specifically, participants will explore the sacredness of the imagination, the sacredness of compassion, and the sacredness of reshaping the world.

Thank you Presbyterian Outlook for sharing this story about the work Montreat and so many other camps and conference centers are doing to recover from Hurricane Helene!

Presbyterian camps in the Southeast recover from hurricanes, rebuild communities, and prepare for summer, showcasing resilience and faith.

This week marked six months since Hurricane Helene brought rain, flooding, and heavy winds to our little valley town - leaving us forever changed. In Helene's wake, so much has been done to restore our community, and we are overwhelmingly grateful! However, we also recognize that there is still much work to be done. Thank you for continuing to offer support and hold the people of Western North Carolina in prayer. It makes a difference!
