Into the Wilderness

Where Silence Becomes Sacred

October 9–12, 2026

Sometimes God speaks the loudest when everything else becomes quiet.

Join Woman Meets Word for four intentional days in Joshua Tree as we disconnect from the distractions of everyday life and reconnect with the voice of God. Throughout Scripture, God often met His people in the wilderness—not as punishment, but as preparation. Moses, Elijah, John the Baptist, and even Jesus experienced seasons of solitude before stepping into what God had next. This retreat invites you into that same rhythm.

Surrounded by breathtaking desert landscapes, we'll spend our days studying Scripture, worshiping beneath the stars, hiking through God's creation, sharing honest conversations around the table, praying together, and making room for God to restore, refine, and renew us.

If you've been longing to hear God's voice more clearly, find rest for your soul, and grow alongside women pursuing Jesus wholeheartedly, this retreat was created with you in mind.

Come into the wilderness. Leave renewed!
