Carole has attended several women's retreats and recently wrote about her experience:

I attended my first women's retreat about a year ago. It was in a beautiful setting on the Washington State coast. I had been to retreats before, but this was beyond any comparison to anything I had ever previously attended. Some of the parts were very challenging, but as I moved through the activities I felt a kind of freedom that I'm not sure I have ever known. Being able to share amongst such an edifying, supportive group of women was deeply meaningful. The love that exists in these circles are sacred. I don't mean that in a "religious" way, but in a soul centered way. Don't let any kind of fear stop you from attending. These retreats fill me up so I can be the best version of me for my family, loved ones and those I serve.

Gratitude in All Things
Women's Retreat

Whitefish, Montana

Spring 2011

"I can't tell you how awesome and wonderful the retreat was! Thank you to each woman that was there. It's been a long time since I've felt like this. I have 20 new fantastic friends!!!

"Thank you is not close enough to say to you for the work and space of this retreat!!! It was beyond anything I thought it would be. My heart is full and stronger too. Thank you! I love you!!!!" ~ Tammy

"There are really no words to describe the transformation and the growth that took place these past 4 days with every single sweet soul who joined us at our Women's Retreat in Montana. WOW.....I'm glad I found my purpose. Nothing will ever be the same in this world. Thank You ALL for giving me the strength and the courage to keep moving forward in a positive direction." ~ Kristi

In their own words...

Some of the couples who participated in the most recent retreat have written to share their feelings about the experience. This is what they wrote:

The couples retreat broke down barriers to conversation and created intimacy for communication. It held a space of honesty and healing that opened doors and hearts. It allowed for things to be said that needed to be said, and things to be heard that needed to be heard. I felt free to have the opportunity to be so open and honest. I feel a closeness and a bond that has added to my relationship. I am thankful to have been a part of such a special experience. Thanks for creating a place of love and compassion so that movement could happen. It feels good to move. ~ Kimber

I was excited about this retreat. I don't remember having any kind of expectations, but once I got there I could sense this connecting with all these other couples in a very strong way. It changed my whole perspective of what I was going to get from this retreat. I got a sense of relief knowing that I was struggling with the same issues as everyone else. It gave me permission to open my heart and mind to experience this retreat in its full capacity. Because of my heart and mind being open, I learned valuable, intimate knowledge about my partner and soul-mate. The bonds that now connect us together are so much stronger than when I came to this retreat. I came away with a sense of great confidence in my relationship knowing my foundation has become much stronger. I know now what my partner needs to create the love and happiness that she wants. ~ Rich

Rhonda and Barry Moses share a gift of bringing together individuals with personal challenges and beliefs to a safe place of discovery and healing. Through connection with others, we realize that we are not alone in our struggles, and are able to share the joys of true compassionate love. Couples retreat not only helped us understand each other as partners, but also as individuals on our own personal spiritual journey. We would recommend couples retreat to anyone interested in learning more about themselves and their partner, whether the partnership is new or aged. We will surely do it again! ~ Ray and Sandy

The Sacred Journey

2010-11-10T01:27:00.000-08:00

Summit Quest recently completed a couples retreat in McCall, Idaho. Eight couples attended, each one bringing a great diversity of experiences and life perspectives.

We’ve been doing this work for several years, and yet we’re always inspired and amazed by the personal transformations that occur in three short days. On the first day of retreat, participants often arrive with varying degrees of anxiety and mistrust. Some withdraw themselves to the comforting superficialities of small talk, while others present a flat and lifeless exterior. Despite the obvious challenge of trusting a group of relative strangers, the couples invariably move forward with determination, honesty, and courage. By the last day of retreat, a distinct shift occurs where participants relate to one another from what we sometimes call the “heart-space.” Barriers melt away and are replaced by deep connection.

The couples retreat is not aligned with any religion, and yet the process is deeply spiritual. Couples most often leave the retreat energized and more in love than ever before. The couples retreat truly is a sacred journey.

Couples Retreat: The Sacred Journey

2010-10-14T10:32:00.001-07:00

We have made some changes to the upcoming Couples Retreat: The Sacred Journey that will make the weekend more accessible to a wider audience.

We condensed the time to create a greater urgency of purpose. Instead of beginning on Thursday, we will now begin at 1:00 pm on Friday, November 5. The Couples Retreat will end on Sunday, as originally planned.

We also reduced the price from $450 to $350.

Choosing Joy

2010-10-14T09:57:00.001-07:00

Twelve women gathered near Priest Lake, Idaho for the Fall 2010 Women's Retreat. The theme of this retreat was Choosing Joy.

During this retreat, the women focused on the beauty of 'living in the moment.' In this photograph, the women were sitting on the shores of Priest Lake as they painted a sunset.

Strengthening friendship is a core aspect of the women's retreat.

This retreat helped us to reflect upon who we really are.

Connecting with nature is always a core part of the Women's Retreat.

During the retreat, the women participate in group processes that provide insight into how people relate to one another.

Every Women's Retreat provides a time for silent reflection.

Stacy

2010-08-05T01:43:00.001-07:00

Stacy Chandler comes to the women's retreat from Houston, Texas. She initially expressed some hesitation, but after making a commitment to attend, her feelings changed. Each person comes away with her own experience, but for Stacy, the women's retreat offered a deeper connection to her family and her faith.

This is her experience, in her own words:

"The boys and I are reading our scriptures, saying prayers, spending time together, visiting, and learning more about each other. I've been gone for so long that I was a stranger to them. This summer has been a wonderful time for me, thanks to Women's Retreat. I can share with them now. I can talk with them now, instead of talk at them. I think they've noticed the change and feel more comfortable sharing with me because I'm no longer a closed shell.

"I've also been working on relationships with people in my community. I actually feel human instead of fake or robotic. Now my smiles are genuine, instead of automatic, for the public. I wish you could fully understand the darkness I came from and know the light I feel now.

"When I try to describe retreat to someone who has never been, the same three words are always spoken first: 'OH....MY....GOSH!!!!!!!' Rhonda has been inviting me for years and I had never gone, although almost every year I said that I would. I always thought retreat was a time for women to get together to talk and be "touchy feely." I wasn't interested in confiding in a group of women I had never met before, not to mention, "touchy feely" isn't my thing. But I discovered for myself that retreat provides an environment to explore the inner self, to discover where you are, to see where you want to go, and to develop a plan to get there. When retreat is over, you're left with a dynamic group of friends who will always be there should you need them or want to reach for them. For myself, I left retreat feeling new; I am a better, stronger person, I and can't wait to go again."

The Sacred Journey

2010-05-11T10:14:00.000-07:00

We are pleased to announce that we now have a secure date for Couples Retreat: November 4-7, 2010 in McCall, Idaho. The Sacred Journey will provide an opportunity for participants to remove distractions and to remember what matters most.

For more information, please visit the Couples Retreat page, or contact Rhonda Moses.

Possible Couples Retreat

2010-05-03T13:41:00.001-07:00

Summit Quest has received numerous requests to sponsor another couples retreat. In response to these requests, we are looking tentatively toward creating a couples experience in September or October near McCall, Idaho.

We loved our last couples retreat, but we also recognize a few practical considerations for the future. Renting an appropriate facility presents the most important challenge. It usually requires 4 to 6 months advance booking, along with significant financial deposits, cleaning fees, booking fees, etc. Most deposits are non-refundable, so if enrollment is low, Summit Quest loses money.

We are totally committed to creating another couples retreat, AND we also need at least 4 other couples to pay in full in order to make this endeavor sustainable.

For those couples committed to a fall retreat, the time to act is now. I specifically ask you to contact us right away to let us know your level of interest.

The Dance of Life

2010-05-02T18:06:00.000-07:00

Women's Retreat

I am a woman, mother, wife, sister, daughter, full-time student, massage therapist, and much more. Like many others, my life is busy and full, constantly running from one thing to the next. I love my life! I am thankful for the opportunity to be and do these things, but there are times when I begin to forget to take a moment for myself and just breathe. The Dance of Life retreat gave me the opportunity to do just that and much more. I laughed, loved, cried, and danced. I was free to be me! I thank each of the amazing women who shared in this beautiful experience with me! It was such a joy to see each of you shine. You touched my life in a very special way! Remember your goals. Keep breathing, loving, laughing, and dancing!

~Rhonda

For this retreat, the women gathered in a beautiful spot overlooking the Puget Sound, near Marysville, Washington.

A simple reminder to breathe, love, and dance.

Spring was in full bloom.

Retreats are special time to renew important relationships. Mothers attend with daughters, sisters with sisters, and friends with friends. Many others attend to make new connections.

Our retreat was located a short walking distance from the beach.

Each day of the retreat, we take an hour of silence to reflect, meditate, journal, and connect with nature.

Did you attend this retreat? If so, we encourage you to leave a comment and share what you gained from the experience.

Reflections

2009-03-10T22:20:00.001-07:00

After every retreat, we enjoy reading feedback from all participants. We are always happy to see the positive impact in the lives of those who join us, or to find ways to improve.

These reflections represent the most recent retreat experiences.

This retreat was a safe and temperate atmosphere to work on our relationship. Thank you both, and believe this may have saved our marriage. I LOVE everyone who attended. You are all wonderful human beings. Thank you, Ed.

The Couples Retreat created an atmoshpere of safety and openness for all who attended. We as couples were able to expose our raw emotions in order to heal those dark areas of our relationships that needed that space to heal. It personally helped change the direction our relationship that was looking over the edge of a cliff. We were able to turn and walk the other direction toward the light of healing. Thank you for creating this space! With much gratitude and love, Frances.

This retreat gave me a new appreciation for my husband. Just watching him step up and help other people made me realize how blessed I am in this relationship, Madonna.

This retreat was a safe, non-judgmental, fun, loving atmosphere. Delving deeper into ourselves, our relationship, our understandings and misunderstandings, our conceptions and misconceptions, brought us closer as a couple and reminded us of all the good we love about each other, Kirsten.

What a terrific experience. We so rarely take the time to focus exclusively on each other and the gift of our marriage. I treasure the friendships we've made here and the growth and reinforcement of our sacred vows, Tad.

I feel honored and privileged to know these couples trust us to be witnesses of their growth process. By the end, my own relationship feels much stronger as a result, Barry.

Another Perspective

2009-03-10T20:40:00.000-07:00

Couples arrive to the retreat with a wide range of emotions. Some show up more committed than ever, while others feel a mix of anger, uncertainty, and fear for the future. Some simply wish to strengthen an already successful marriage, while others may stand at the edge of divorce. No two couples share the same experience.

During the first day of the retreat, most couples show a certain degree of hesitation as they test the waters of trust. Authentic sharing often requires courage, especially when couples express hurt, anger, or disappointment, but as the feeling of safety increases, the tendency to withdraw diminishes. Many couples experience a powerful emotional release as they examine the real issues, and as they re-connect with their commitment to one another. That level of honesty can be so tender and real.

By the last day of the retreat, the couples often show a complete change. Where they were once hesitant or fearful, they open their hearts to laughter and celebration. It is a beautiful and sacred experience to witness couples return to a place of commitment, joy, and love.

Couples Retreat - March 2009

2009-03-10T18:55:00.001-07:00

For the couples who attended our first retreat we offered a follow-up retreat to reconnect as couples and as friends. This retreat was beautiful, with much gratitude to all who made it a sacred event.

Through honesty, willingness to share tender feelings, and trust for the process, we created a sense of safety for everyone present. We all laughed, cried, and we grew closer together as couples.

During one process, I had the opportunity to share the beauty of nature as Barry kept his eyes closed. Before the retreat, I had grown sick of the snow, but within the beauty of the retreat experience, I stood in awe of the way the snow danced across the river. I was reminded of the beauty that surrounds us every day in nature and in our relationships.

All who attended re-kindled their love and commitment to one another. As I witnessed the sacred expressions of love between the couples, I was deeply inspired and touched.

Humanity

Madonna Wiltse has attended every women's retreat since the retreats began in 2001. She is the mother of five children and a grandmother of one. Recently we asked her to write about her experience of the retreats:

No matter what we believe or what differences we have, most humans desire more humanity.

The world tells us success comes from education, power, money, and possessions, but our conscience tells us that kindness and humanity are the real treasures we seek. We admire strength, but we are so much more touched and moved by compassion.

To feel comfortable and safe within my own soul causes me to look beyond me to see you, so we can change the world for us.

The women's retreats are about us. They're about connection with humanity and success in the truest form.

Kimber

2009-01-12T18:25:00.000-08:00

Kimber Mannlein, LSW is a licensed social worker who obtained her degree from Boise State University. She has attended Summit Quest retreats faithfully for the last 9 years and is a mom to three beautiful daughters. Recently, Kimber spoke to us about what she gains from attending retreats:

Sometimes in life I feel connected to who I really am.

Each person tries to find a purpose to life or some sort of deeper meaning. For me, I turned to a power greater than myself and asked for help. The answer came through a process of deep self-work that awakened me to see the world through a different lens and to become more aware of the world around me. It awakened me to living in the present moment and to remembering who I really am.

Part of my work from this higher state brought me to women's retreats. Sometimes I resist going because I know have to look at myself and accept everyone as a mirror of my true state. Itʼs hard to do, but when I accept this work of loving unconditionally and being loved, of letting go of masks, of being raw in the essence of who I am, I become clear. I go through pain, joy, laughter, darkness, and whatever issues are up in my life and I become closer to what I am searching for.

Without fail it happens. I cannot explain exactly what transforms, but at the retreat I feel powerful and clear.

Simple Beauty

2008-12-22T22:24:00.001-08:00

My favorite holiday tradition of all is getting together with my family, eating great food, visiting, laughing, playing games, reading the Christmas account from the scriptures, and exchanging homemade gifts. This has been our tradition since I was a girl, and now I get to share this with my children.

Today we planned to visit Ephrata for this wonderful event. It is what I most look forward to during the holidays, but to my great disappointment, the snow forced us to stay home. I literally had to hold back tears. We set another date for after the holidays, but it just isn't the same.

The kids were going stir crazy in the house, so much that I offered to take them to one of their favorite sledding hills. They would have fun and I would enjoy a moment of peace and quiet. Turns out the snow was too fluffy and too deep for sledding, so they called me just shortly after dropping them off.

At that point, I decided it would be fun if all of us went to lunch. Barry came with me to pick up the kids. When we showed up he jumped out of the truck with his camera to take pictures of the kids playing in the snow. We laughed at the cute pictures he took, then he pulled the girls on a sled while he ran through the icy parking lot. Once again we were all laughing.

We had a wonderful lunch and enjoyed one another's company. Then we came home and put together a puzzle, played a game of cards, acted all silly, laughed some more, watched a touching movie, and read scriptures together before we put the kids to bed. It was a beautiful day! Not the day I had hoped for and yet it was simple and beautiful. I am grateful for simple, beautiful moments. Each day is full of them.

May we take the time to notice simple beauty and give thanks this special holiday season.

McCall Retreat

2008-12-21T20:47:00.001-08:00

Summit Quest recently completed another successful women's retreat in McCall, Idaho. Several new people attended, adding a new depth to the growing circle of women.

The women created plaster masks representing the emotional masks they wear in life. The masks helped the women to explore the barriers they place between themselves and others, as well as ways to increase intimacy and trust.

Hear what some had to say about their experience:

"A place in this world with unconditional love is so precious and that is what we have at the retreat. Something I've never had or been able to accept before. I so appreciate the love and caring I felt from strangers who are now dear friends." Janet

"What a beautiful space for love and healing. It was a marvelous weekend." Glenda

"I am again in awe of the transformation that takes place in this sacred space. I revel in the joy that is placed in my heart by being honest, in the moment and real. It is amazing to witness pure light and love when the masks are taken down and vulnerability is present." Kimber

Leavenworth Retreat

2008-12-21T20:41:00.001-08:00

This in the Moment women's retreat was held in Spring 2007 near Leavenworth, Washington. Several new people attended. Everyone had a very memorable experience.

Comments from the last retreat:

“This was my first retreat and it is amazing how special I fell in this environment. All the women helped me open my eyes and realize how beautiful I really am. Thank you!” ~Natalie

This retreat was amazing! I really had time to look inward and see the real me. It was amazing to know I can stop pretending that I am someone other than myself! I love the real me! Thank you for letting me get to know myself this weekend.” ~Jenni

Previous Couple's Retreat

2008-12-21T20:37:00.001-08:00

Summit Quest held its first couples retreat near Garden Valley, Idaho, where six couples attended and shared a phenomenal healing experience.

Workshops

2008-12-21T19:44:00.000-08:00

Summit Quest sponsors a wide range of experiential workshops committed to personal empowerment and awareness where participants actively explore news ideas and ways of relating to the world. Some of our more popular workshops:

Challenge Workshop

Participants challenge self-limiting beliefs in a supportive and caring environment, and reach beyond what they ever thought possible. The experience of overcoming perceived limitations in a workshop setting often creates a renewed sense of freedom and fulfillment in other areas of life. This workshop culminates in a ropes course experience.

Mask Workshop

Most people long for deep human connection, and yet many struggle to live authentically with others. To one degree or another, we all wear masks to protect against potential injury or to gain the approval of others. While masks provide some degree of security, they also diminish trust and genuine intimacy. Is it possible to confuse our own identities with the masks we wear? Who are we beneath the the layers of self-protection? When is it safe to reveal our deepest truth and thereby create greater compassion and connection? Participants explore these questions and more in the Mask Workshop, culminating in a creative hands-on project based on individual ways of relating to others.

Relationship Workshop

This dynamic interpersonal workshop requires people to attend with a close family member or other relationship partner, such as husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, mothers and sons, close friends, or any other significant relationship. Participants practice important communication skills to improve understanding and caring, such as active listening, empathy, non-judgment, and forgiveness.

Soul Dance Workshop

Soul Dance is a meditative practice designed to create greater access to individual wisdom by inviting participants to use music, intention, and movement as a tool for looking inward. Each person has a completely unique experience; some find emotional release and healing as a direct result of the Soul Dance, while others discover answers to important personal questions. Because people change and grow with time, the Soul Dance experience also changes and can be repeated, each time with different and equally rewarding results.

To schedule a workshop for groups of 10 or more, please contact Rhonda Moses at (509) 599-5572.

Couple's Retreats

2008-12-18T18:59:00.000-08:00

The relationship between husband and wife is sacred.

Most often, the wedding day is filled with hope, joy, laughter, and celebration. Couples begin the marriage relationship filled with loving expectations and bright dreams for the future. At this time of beauty, everything is right with the world.

But the stress of daily living may test the resolve of even the best relationships. Some simply get lost in daily routines, allowing the relationship to become ordinary, boring, or mundane. Others may find themselves feeling alone and misunderstood in the relationship that once brought the most joy. Still others experience the pain and heartache of broken promises and shattered dreams.

Regardless of present circumstances, all relationships may benefit from taking the time to stop, listen, and share with one another from a place of deep authenticity.

The retreat provides a safe environment to explore genuine needs and to address issues that may prevent couples from experiencing the fullness of their relationship. It creates an opening for healing and an opportunity to remember the sacred bonds they share.

Marriage is not an event, but a process. The retreat empowers couples to find beauty in the journey.

Cost for the Couple's Retreat: $350.

Price includes lodging and most meals. A $100 non-refundable deposit will secure your place. The full amount is due at least 30 days prior to the retreat.

We asked couples to share what they gained from the retreat.

"The retreat provides a safe environment where couples can grow, learn, and support each another. It gives the opportunity to begin healing from the past and to remember future dreams. It’s a great opportunity to be together in nature and to be quiet without the distraction of busy schedules. Being with other couples allows the space to connect with others, to create new friendships, and to make treasured memories." ~Madonna and Loren

"I gained a deeper understanding of myself, my partner, and my relationship. I truly feel the experience added to the depth and strength of our relationship." ~ Ed

"The couple's retreat gave me and my ex-husband a safe space to talk about issues that have been holding us back from a meaningful relationship for many years. We left with a sense of hope for our future and our children's future. At one very powerful point of the retreat I was able to share with my ex-husband the things I would miss about him if he was gone and sharing that helped me to see him as an individual with imperfections, one in which I should no longer judge and or punish for his doings but to see him with a history and doing his best and with conditional love. I learned that relationships can shine again even from the depths of hell here they once stood." ~ Kimber

"Our experience at the Fall 2007 couples retreat was very profound. A couple thrives and depends on their mate throughout their journey here on earth. Until one can be compatible with another, they must look into their own heart before they can give it freely to another with Love. The couples retreat allowed us to look within our selves to learn how we could continue our journey in marriage and/or relationships with a full and true heart. We felt safe in the environment that Rhonda and Barry provided. They set ground rules of confidentiality and trust. We were able to express our pains, joy, hurt and love to heal or to grow stronger. We are so thankful to have been apart of the first annual retreat and would recommend it to any and all couples." ~ Ray and Kyleigh

"We loved the whole weekend; deliberately taking time out to focus on our relationship. We felt renewed appreciation and affection for our partners and a willingness to do this again in a few years for regular maintenance. The experience was down to earth, authentic, casual, and non-judgmental." ~ Tad

"What a wonderful experience! We quickly formed bonds with the other couples at the retreat, and despite our different stages and walks of life, we found that we had many issues in common within our own relationships or had overcome such issues in the past. We were able to share our wisdom, insight, suffering, and joy with each other. The atmosphere was open and non-judgmental, allowing us to focus on our thoughts and feelings without feeling self-conscious, second-guessed, or singled out. Whether a couple is in need of discovery and healing, or just wants to polish up an already well-functioning relationship, I would highly recommend this retreat to them." ~ Kirsten

"The most valuable part was taking the time to see the love my partner has for me and having the time to express mine for him. There never seems to be enough time in the day. To have four days with my partner to do this was the BEST. I will be taking home with me LOVE; I will remember this for always." ~ Frances

Women's Retreats

Images from past retreats.

Imagine a place where spirit and earth come together, set amid the wonders of nature, where beauty lives in every mountain, sunset, tree and stream.

Summit Quest provides a unique space for personal renewal and growth for women through retreats. Participants rekindle old friendship and make new friends. They empower one another to recognize and achieve the highest potentil within.

Most women who attend the retreats have a powerful experience and return again and again.

Cost for San Diego retreat is $485 per person.
This includes lodging and most meals.

Each participant is assigned to a group to provide one meal for the retreat. We may also go out to eat for one meal. All other meals are free.
