Get away from your normal routine

Sometimes you just need to getaway. Really away. Not to some exotic destination; not to do anything too active. Just someplace quiet where you can relax, get in touch with your spirit, and hear yourself think.

The Soul Care Urban Retreat Center provides a convenient and flexible space right by where you live and work for you to take that personal time to get in touch with your inner self and the Divine spirit.

Time at Soul Care can be spent alone or with a friend, or in a group; it can be structured or unstructured, depending on your needs and desires.

People come for all different reasons — to rest, plan, listen, reflect, or just BE.

Looking to gift a unique experience? Gift certificates are available for Quiet Pods and all retreats.

FOOT BATHS

Reserve a two-hour foot bath in a private Quiet Pod to slow down, become quiet, and listen to your body. 

In many cultures soaking the feet is considered essential to a sense of physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. Our feet stabilize and ground us. Warm water with soothing aromatic oils adds fluidity and nurturance. Combined, they offer immediate stress relief and a deep mind-body connection.

Two-hour foot baths are $35.

Retreats are ways we pull back from the battle and rest…

In the presence of the holy One we enter into silence and solitude and rest in God. Resting gives us the energy it takes to build our relationship with God one on one.

When we are rested, we listen better.
When we are rested, we notice desires as well as lies buried in our souls.

— Adele Ahlberg Calhoun, The Spiritual Disciplines Handbook
