Welcome to The Retreat at Annandale
A permanent home for sacred rest
We’re building a faith-integrated retreat and renewal center for high-burnout,
high-impact servants and leaders—where guided recovery restores the caregiver and strengthens the community.
Our Vision
Burnout is not a personal failure—it’s a human cost of faithful service.
When serving and leading others becomes constant, the soul and body begin to pay. Our vision is a place where leaders and frontline caregivers can step away from relentless demand and enter structured restoration—addressing mental health, emotional exhaustion, and the deeper spiritual toll of serving others.
