The Manna Retreat

The Manna Retreat is a transformative weekend experience designed specifically for young adults, hosted at the Montreat Conference Center in Asheville, United States. This retreat acknowledges the challenges faced by young adults, particularly those navigating their 'defining decade' between the ages of 22 to 32, where significant life decisions are often made. The event aims to foster deeper faith and build meaningful relationships through a structured yet relaxed environment. Comprising 100 young adults, participants will engage in small group discussions, large group gatherings, and shared meals, promoting both personal growth and community connection. The retreat is designed around the theme of nourishment and sustenance, drawing parallels to the biblical story of the Israelites in the desert. Just as they were provided for during their journey, The Manna Retreat seeks to offer support to young adults feeling lost or uncertain in their paths. Participants can look forward to activities such as late-night mixers, laughter-filled games by the fireplace, and opportunities to explore the beautiful surroundings of Montreat through hikes. The schedule includes keynotes and worship sessions that encourage introspection and connection, all centered around the overarching goal of creating a supportive faith community. This retreat not only serves individuals but also welcomes church groups, facilitating mutual connections among attendees.
