A place for reconciliation, renewal, healing and transformation

Spirit in the Desert Retreat Center is a holy place that welcomes all people to experience the pure beauty of God’s creation in the Arizona Sonoran Desert. The sunsets are breathtaking and the sunrises are announced by the calls of the Cactus Wren and Gambel’s Quail. The gardens around the facilities on the nine-acre campus are filled with natural plants, trees, and many species of desert cacti. At an altitude of 2,580 feet the campus is somewhat cooler than the Phoenix metro area, especially in the glorious evening and early morning hours.

When you arrive, you will be warmly welcomed by a people-centered staff who will orient you to your surroundings. All bedrooms have private bathrooms, a patio or balcony, most with spectacular mountain views. Our experienced chefs will serve homemade, healthy meals and our heated swimming pool and whirlpool bath are available for your enjoyment and relaxation. Meeting rooms with WiFi and AV support are provided for a successful class, meeting or retreat.

This oasis in the desert features three walking paths with audio-guided meditation including a Labyrinth, Prayer Path, and Islands of Silence.

Retreats at Spirit in the Desert are available for participants of all faiths and traditions to experience reconciliation, renewal, healing, and transformation. The facilities are ideal for staff and leader retreats, prayer retreats, lecture series, and so much more in a get-away environment that encourages positive communication and productivity. Spirit in the Desert also welcomes and assists individuals who would like personal retreat for one or more days.
