If you are a YFC staff member, we invite you to join us for an upcoming guided retreat or marriage retreat. The emphasis of our retreats is on rest, reflection and refocusing, providing space for these according to the specific needs of each person.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Guided Retreats are all about resting in God\u2019s presence. For some, resting in Him means sleep, so we provide a room all to yourself. For some, it means prayer and time alone with God, so we provide a relaxed schedule where everything is completely optional. For some, resting in God means spending time with His creation, so we provide plenty of opportunity to explore nearby forests, oceans, and lakes. Sometimes, we may not even know what resting in God means, so we provide ways to explore, reflect, and find the rest you need.<\/p>\n<p>Your 4-night stay includes comfortable beds, delicious food, opportunity to meet with a spiritual director and\/or counsellor, and a team of loving people who want to help you find rest in the Lord\u2019s presence. We invite anyone and everyone in our YFC family to join us \u2013 come and let God meet you wherever you\u2019re at!<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"y-intro--upper--right\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"y-c-img extend\">\n\t\t<div class=\"y-c-img--extend medium\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/yfc.ca\/honeymoon-bay\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/63\/2020\/10\/IMG_1519.jpg);\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"y-c-img--contain\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/honeymoon-bay\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/63\/2020\/10\/IMG_1519.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t<div class=\"y-intro--lower\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"grid-narrow\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"y-intro--lower--left\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"y-intro--lower-content\"><p><strong>UP and COMING RETREATS<br \/>\n<\/strong>(please note that your departure date will be one day after the retreat ends &#8211; for example, for a retreat from January 15-18, your departure date will be on the 19th)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2026 Retreats<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>May 4th &#8211; 7th<\/strong> leaving the 8th 2026 (Guided retreat)<\/li>\n<li><strong>July 2nd &#8211; 5th<\/strong> leaving the 6th 2026 (Guided retreat)<\/li>\n<li><strong>August 10th &#8211; 13th<\/strong> leaving the 14th 2026 14th (Marriage retreat) FULL<\/li>\n<li><strong>November 23rd-26th<\/strong> leaving the 27th 2026 (Guided Retreat)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2027 Retreats<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Jan 25-27<\/strong> Leaving 28 (GVYU Women Only)<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"><strong>Feb 15-18<\/strong> Leaving 19 (Marriage)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"><strong>March 9-12<\/strong> Leaving 13 (Executive Directors Only)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"><strong>May 3-6<\/strong> Leaving 7 (Guided)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"><strong>July 26-29<\/strong> Leaving 30 (Guided)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"><strong>August 9-12<\/strong> Leaving 13 (Marriage)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"><strong>November 22-25<\/strong> Leaving 26 (Guided)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/events.yfc.ca\/guided-retreats-at-hmb\/\">For more information on these retreats or to register, please visit the YFC Canada event page.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/yfc.ca\/honeymoon-bay\/event\/event-1\/\">Our Guided retreats are for YFC | Youth Unlimited staff only.
