The Beloved Retreat

WHEN: October 15-18, 2026

WHERE: Tampa, FL on the Hillsborough River

"Can you discern this new day of destiny breaking forth around you?  The early signs of my purposes and plans are bursting forth.  The budding vines of new life are now blooming everywhere.  The fragrance of the their flowers whispers, "There is change in the air."  Arise, my love, my beautiful companion, and run with me to the higher place. For now is the time to arise and COME AWAY WITH ME." Song of Songs 2:13 TPT

Are you looking for an authentic community of women with rich fellowship.. women who want to go deeper into the heart of God?    A time of rest and restoration, but also a desire to be encountered with the love of God again... If so, the Beloved Retreat is just what God is calling you to.  Come and enjoy personal ministry, powerful live worship music, surprise gifts and Spirit-led activities throughout the extended weekend.  Fun games, fellowship, amazing women who will become lifelong friends, and filling your soul with sun, health, and sisterhood!  The itinerary is lovingly curated to ensure you have as much alone and reflective time, as you do time among like-minded women, all eager and going after the same thing - to come away and return to their first Love.  

This year's venue is lovingly provided by a former Haven Retreat guest, Camelia Castillo.  Camelia is a wonderful real estate agent and luxury airbnb owner with Castilla Vacation Homes.  She is providing not one, not two, but THREE houses, as needed, side by side on the banks of the Hillsborough River.  Our exceptional onsite chef, Robin Ireland, and her assistant, Geanie Folder will be creating all our meals fresh and on location!  This year, we will be joined with a wonderful revelational author and teacher of the scriptures, Gail Carraway.  She will be dissecting Song of Songs with us and you will return home with a foundation of new truth and revelation to carry you through this year.  

Here are just a few of the things you can look forward to in addition to the luxury accommodations!
