In just four short weeks, our EL#5 Cohort will be gathered together in beautiful Texas! This next year is one of intentional formation, and we are full of prayerful hope for the transformation that will unfold in and through you.
We can’t wait to be with you soon! By now, you should have received your welcome box from the Eden Project. Inside, you'll find printed copies of your Participant Calendar and Cohort Syllabus, along with a few meaningful gifts to help you prepare for the journey ahead. We hope the candle, Triad Guide, The Relational Soul book, and both of David Benner’s beautiful books bless you as much as they have us. These are more than resources—they are companions for the path you’re about to walk.
Preparing for the Knowledge of God Retreat
- Keep engaging with the Pre-work each week. This work is designed to help you slow down, listen, and become more attuned to what the Father may want to stir in you during retreat. All Pre-work and readers can be found on your Cohort Landing page, but the reader is also found here for your ease of reference.
- Create space with the Reflection Questions. We invite you to set aside 20–30 minutes with the Spirit to summarize what’s been emerging in your heart and mind. These written reflections will help you arrive open and ready to receive. Please submit your responses by end of day September 10th.
- Need a ride? Use our Travel Coordination document if you’d like to connect with others about sharing rides to and from the airport. While The Eden Project doesn’t coordinate travel, we’re happy to help you link up with fellow participants. If you plan to use Uber after the retreat, we recommend scheduling it in advance.
We’d love for you to arrive by 3:00 PM on the first day so you can settle in and join us for our Welcome Reception. Please plan to stay through the full retreat, which will conclude at 12:30 PM on the final day.
We’ll be gathering at this beautiful space: La Palmilla, 1626 S FM 200, Glen Rose, TX 76070.
If you have any questions along the way, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re so looking forward to being with you and are honored to walk alongside you in this season of formation.
Grace to you,
Chuck Gschwend
