Gather to Center
Sacred Stories Retreat for Young Adults
Applications are now open for the Austin Story Project's Sacred Stories Retreat for Young Adults!!! This five-day retreat will be held at the beautiful Menucha Retreat Center outside Portland, Oregon. This retreat will be held for two different groups on September 23-27, 2026, and May 12-16, 2027.
Like walking a sacred pilgrimage, our goal is to have participants move through the key experiences of Jesus’ life alongside their own life stories. Through storytelling, reflection, prayer, and small group conversations, the retreat invites young adults to notice how God’s presence may already be moving within their own lived experience.
