Each year, resolutions are rarely kept and goals are easily forgotten. But imagine living a single word that embodied your present life to guide you toward finding a renewed purpose and meaning. This retreat is a mindful practice of intentionality. One Word can motivate you to become the person you are meant to be – guiding your year and having a positive impact on your life. Learn more about the concept of One Word, the process of discovering your personal One Word and the best ways to authentically live out your One Word. Through meditation, journaling exercises and group discussions, you will see which word chooses you for 2026. You’ll be invited to share your One Word with other participants, engage in creative expression and create symbols to take home and remind you of your One Word all year long. What will your 2026 One Word be? Come and find out!
