Strength for the Journey - Holston

Strength for the Journey - Holston Strength for the Journey provides a safe, caring and healing retreat community for women and men living with HIV/AIDS. All retreats are alcohol and drug free.

Here are highlights from this year's Strength for the Journey Retreat. We do not publish identifiable photos of our retreat attendees because we respect the privacy of those attending. There are photos of our staff who gave a week of their time to be a part of this retreat. What a blessing it was for each one of us who served! Help us spread the story and invite those who could benefit from this retreat next year!

A perfect day at Strength for the Journey 2025 ended with Christina and Matt leading us in the sacred circle around the campfire. “Be still and know that I am God.” We are thankful for each person here and we miss those who couldn’t join us this year.
