Previous Retreats
Welcome to our collection of Previous Retreats — a space to look back, reflect, and be inspired by the many experiences that have shaped our New Nest community. Each retreat represents meaningful time spent in reflection, growth, and connection — moments where participants came together to heal, learn, and rediscover balance.
Many participants have shared that revisiting past themes or requesting a repeat retreat has helped them continue their personal journey of renewal. If a particular retreat resonates with you, we’d love to hear from you — it may be offered again in the future or adapted to meet a new season of need.
Senior Retreat
A thoughtfully designed retreat for older adults focused on rest, reflection, and personal renewal. The program offered a balance of group discussions, creative activities, gentle movement, and time in nature—all centered on helping participants slow down, reconnect, and find fresh perspective for the next chapter of life. It provided a warm, supportive environment to share experiences, build community, and leave feeling restored and re-energized.
(We’ve hosted many wonderful retreats in the past, and we can’t wait to share them with you here soon. Our Previous Retreats section is coming soon—please check back as we update the site with highlights and photos from our past experiences. We're always open to new retreat ideas and look forward to hearing your thoughts about retreats you'd be interested in!)
If you’re interested in a past retreat, call or text Marcia at 847-858-2407 or Joy at 312-330-3809, and we’ll be in touch to discuss bringing it back.
