Thrive Journey

A six-month formation experience for professionals seeking deep transformation,
authentic belonging, and sustainable patterns of living and leading.

Program Overview

What it is

Thrive Journey is a six-month, high-touch cohort for growth-minded professionals who seek lasting growth, authentic connection, and sustainable patterns of living and leading.

The program blends bi-weekly virtual sessions with four full-day, in-person retreats in tranquil, restorative venues. You’ll engage guided practices and formative dialogue, supported by scholarly, biblically grounded resources designed for depth and practical application. 

Each cohort is intentionally small and single-gender (5–6 participants) to cultivate trust, openness, and depth.

All curriculum, retreat costs, and meals, along with six months’ advanced membership fees, are included so you can focus fully on your journey. 

Who it is for

Thrive Journey is for professionals who are ready to:

Pursue deep transformation (not quick fixes).
Live with increasing coherence across spirit, body, and social context.
Build genuine relationships and a sense of belonging with peers.
Cultivate a vibrant pattern of spiritual practices.
Engage vulnerably within a supportive, Christ-centered environment.

Program Details

Thrive Journey unfolds through four integrated movements. Each builds on the last—guiding you from reflection, to renewal, to integration. Together, they create a pathway for whole-person growth that is both deeply personal and profoundly practical.

Your Place in the Big Story

Where God’s Story Shapes Your Story and Connects Us Together
You’ll begin by exploring the Christian grand narrative—not as an abstract lesson, but as a lens that helps you see your own story in a new way. You’ll reflect on God’s providential work in your life and then share your story with your cohort while also listening to theirs. In that sacred exchange of giving and receiving, you’ll encounter the rare gift of being deeply known and of knowing others—building trust, belonging, and connection that will sustain the journey ahead.

Relational Capacity: Recovering the Lost Art of Connecting Deeply

Move beyond surface networking into authentic, life-giving relationships that foster trust, collaboration, and genuine belonging. Along the way, you’ll explore something deeper: our God-designed capacity to relate has been distorted by brokenness. In this movement, you’ll uncover both the beauty of God’s design and the ways it has been wounded. Through guided reflection and practice, you’ll begin to recover a healthier way of connecting—marked by openness, trust, and collaboration—that mirrors how God intends us to flourish with others.

Sacred Rhythms: Spiritual Practices for Transformation and Renewal

Learn time-tested spiritual disciplines that engage your whole being and create space for God’s transforming work. These practices are not about performance or habit-hacks, but about cultivating an environment where authentic change can take root. By the end, you will have developed a personalized Rhythm of Life—a living plan that helps you remain consistent and intentional. This rhythm becomes the trellis that supports God’s ongoing work in you, fostering greater coherence, sustained whole-person growth, and enduring impact.

Integration: Culmination and Commissioning

As we close the journey, you’ll pause to gather the threads of what you’ve experienced. This concluding movement synthesizes the previous ones into a cohesive way of living and prepares you to move forward in alignment with God’s design for both personal and professional flourishing. Alongside your cohort, you’ll engage in spiritual companionship—listening for God’s heart with and for one another—and receive a commissioning to carry what you’ve gained into your next season.

Together, these movements form a transformative journey that deepens understanding, strengthens connection, and establishes enduring rhythms for growth—culminating in a commissioning that marks both completion and continuation of your formation.

Thrive Journey follows a rhythm designed for both depth and continuity—four full-day, in-person retreats complemented by bi-weekly virtual sessions. Together, they create an intentional cadence of reflection, practice, and connection that sustains growth between gatherings.

Retreat Rhythm

Monthly retreats are at the heart of Thrive Journey. Each is a full day set apart to step away from demands and step into an immersive environment for rest, renewal, and growth. We meet one Saturday each month (typically 8:30 a.m.–5:30 p.m.) in welcoming, restorative venues chosen to nurture focus and belonging. Retreats include unhurried time for teaching, practice, conversation, and nourishing meals that complement the experience.

On occasion, retreats may also be followed by optional unstructured social time—a chance for those who are able to linger, laugh, and enjoy relaxed connection with their cohort outside the program agenda.

Bi-Weekly Virtual Meeting

Between retreats, your cohort gathers every other week for 90 minutes of guided learning, dialogue, and practice. Each session blends concise teaching with interactive discussion and applied exercises that bring the material to life. You’ll engage key concepts together in real time—receiving insight, sharing perspective, and exploring how formation principles intersect with daily experience.

These sessions are intentionally dynamic: short teaching segments alternate with conversation and reflection, helping insight become practice. The goal is not information transfer, but transformation through shared learning, accountability, and community.

This blend of immersive retreats and ongoing virtual dialogue ensures that formation doesn’t remain theoretical or momentary—it becomes a lived, shared process that carries through daily life and work.

Thrive Journey isn’t another professional development course, church group, or wellness retreat. It’s a unique blend of elements rarely found together:

Integrated & Holistic

The program emphasizes the integrated nature of your whole-being—spiritual, emotional, relational, mental, and physical aspects—intentionally creates opportunities to nurture and develop these aspects in harmony rather than isolated or fragmented growth. 

Rooted in Christian Spiritual Formation

Centered on cultivating transformation of the whole person toward God’s original design for humanity.

Selective & High-Touch

Admission is through a comprehensive application process and an interview to ensure readiness and commitment, thereby protecting the integrity of every cohort.

Single-Gender Cohorts

Designed for openness, vulnerability, and safe bonds that endure.

Hybrid Design

A premium rhythm of virtual sessions plus immersive in-person retreats
