Velvet Ashes Retreat

Do you long to hear God's voice more clearly?

Life as a cross-cultural worker can feel like constant motion—decisions, transitions, needs, expectations. Somewhere in the middle of it all, many of us quietly wonder:

How do I recognize God's voice?

The Velvet Ashes Retreat — Listen: Hear My Voice is an invitation to slow down and make space to be with the Lord Friday, 10 April - Sunday, 12 April.

Together with women from our Community, you'll step away from the noise of ministry and daily life and gently create space to practice listening for the voice of the One who knows you and delights in you.

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”
— John 10:27

During the retreat you'll experience:

  • Teaching by Danielle Wheeler
    • Guided Scripture reflection and journaling
    • Beautiful worship music lead by our very own Jenny Nguyen
    • Opportunities to get creative, opportunities for movement
  • Opportunities to connect with other women from DIF in large and small groups
    • A relaxing retreat space
    • Delicious food to feed your body while you feel your spirit
  • And after the retreat, you’ll be sent a code with a digital goodie you can explore at home to continue learning about and growing in hearing God’s voice! 

If you're interested in joining the Velvet Ashes 2026 Retreat, a deposit of 1.000.000 is needed by Sunday, 5 April.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Steph.
