Have you been searching for a more fulfilled life? Struggling to overcome stress? Feeling uncertain about some areas of your life? Just looking for a week of true spiritual meaning, and encounters with others who are like-minded?
If so, then you are ready to experience a rejuvenating five-day retreat with the theme of "A Higher Way". This is the 37th annual Big Sky Retreat, a yearly, non-denominational, life-changing week, in one of the most spectacular locations in the world.
As busy people, it's easy to devote the majority of our energy to other's needs; our kid's needs, our spouse's needs, the needs of our business, etc., while leaving little or no time to care for ourselves.
That is a stressful way to live -- which leads to burning out (or at the very least dissatisfaction) if we don't take the opportunity to focus on ourselves, rejuvenate our body, mind, and spirit, and learn how to live life and travel in a higher way.
That's why every year a dedicated group of nine volunteer board members create this retreat: a beautiful week of learning and sharing; a week filled with new friendships, laughter, music, connection, emotional healing; in a location with spectacular views. It's six days and five nights of sacred time, designed for us to pause and listen to who we really are and what is seeking to emerge in us.
Over these six days (it begins on Saturday and ends on Thursday) you will be given information and strategies for how to find and travel "A Higher Way"; you will learn principles that will empower you to move through life with more ease, grace, balance, fulfillment, and fun; you will be uplifted and thrilled by the inspirational music from Michael Gott and Joe Dickey; and you will discover more about who you truly are.
Though some of these spiritual principles may be offered at other events, they are rarely presented in such a magnificently beautiful natural setting, or taught by such "giants" in the field of spiritual evolution, or with such soul-felt and powerful camaraderie. What you experience at Big Sky will help you gain control over your thoughts and feelings; it will help you find balance, and release you from the load of stress caused by the pressures and pulls of your daily life.
P.S. The Buy-Two-Get-One-FREE Offer!
If you have attended a previous retreat and bring two new people, your registration is FREE! Please call Joan Hansen, Big Sky Retreat Registrar for more information (520) 609-4629.
Here are some other reasons why, for 36 years, people have come from all over the United States to join together for this restoring week:

What People Have Said About The Big Sky Retreat:
"I can tell you that my heart is literally filled with all that I received there. The level of consciousness of the board and of the attendees was remarkable. It was just a joy being there. Do yourself a favor and put the Big Sky Retreat on your calendar."
- Walter Starcke Author, Lecturer, Mystic"Having attended many other seminars and retreats, I can, without reservation recommend the Big Sky Retreat as one of my favorites. The camaraderie, the level of commitment, and the evident spiritual growth that occurs there make it truly special."
- Dr. Rocco Errico, Author, Lecturer, Bible Scholar"At the Big Sky Retreat, you will discover the majesty of the mountains, the magic of the resort, and mystic messages from the speakers and in the workshops. Together, these elements combine in a mysterious alchemy providing the most wondrous, heart-opening and life-enriching week ever. Besides all of this, the Big Sky Retreat is FUN! It has changed my life forever."
- Mary Manin Morrissey"I am, without any reservations, recommending to you an annual New Thought gathering, the Big Sky Retreat. This event is one of the most spiritual / elevating / meaningful / fun six days you can ever experience."
- Rev. Leo Booth"This retreat continues to be one of my most rewarding and fulfilling experiences each year. Try it! I know you'll really like it."
- Reverend Howard Caesar"The Big Sky Retreat is one of the most inspiring and deeply spiritually moving experiences I've ever experienced. The place, the people, the programs and the STAFF are the best! A variety of subjects shared from the heart and soul with love and joy is a recipe that takes us to new heights of awareness!"
- Dr. Arleen Bump"All who attend this conference enter into an intimate and powerful experience of Spiritual Community."
- Dr. Roger Teel"I truly love this retreat, the people, and the place. I don't have words to really express the feelings that come up for me when I recall my Big Sky memories. You just have to be there!"
- Rev. Diane Borcyckowski"Our accommodations were just wonderful. The workshops, the music, the speakers, and the social time allowed for all of us to bond in a really cohesive way. My soul and the soul of each person became one and the same!"
- Rev. Maureen Hoyt"My years of attending this Retreat seem nothing short of miraculous. My wife, Nancy, and I were fortunate enough and enthusiastic enough to bring many others. Personally, we experienced spiritual growth beyond measure; we deepened numerous friendships; we learned more about ourselves and our true nature. But most of all, we saw these same things happen in the lives of those we brought to the Retreat. Their growth has been more rewarding than anything else. The Big Sky Retreat is one of the most remarkable events you could ever attend."
- Frank T. Abraham, Houston, TX (deceased)"People are reminded of their magnificence, they are inspired, they are entertained, and they move away from their time there better able to experience the wonder of their life."
- Terry McBride, Author, Lecturer, Mentor"I have attended the Retreat many times and joined the Big Sky Board with enthusiasm. I offered to serve on the board because the Big Sky Retreat has been and continues to be the single-best value in Retreats. It has been a wonderful soul-nurturing experience for me, and it offers a true Retreat opportunity, especially for ministers. The attendance is usually between 125-175, with a maximum of 200, thus providing a space for intimacy and personal freedom. The beautiful Montana mountain setting is spectacular and energizing, and adequate "free time" allows anyone the opportunity to create his or her own adventure till the heart is content. The Big Sky Retreat program draws speakers from Religious Science, Divine Science, Unity, independent metaphysical churches, teachers, and other holistic fields. It also has world quality musicians and vocalists who have always thrilled us. If I were to consider giving you a gift from my heart, it would be the Big Sky Retreat".
