Here at the Meditation Ministry, we offer personal and small group meditation retreats in the beautiful foothills of the Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee. These 2-Day retreats provide a peaceful atmosphere for spending quality time with the Lord and learning how to use daily Scripture meditation for spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being. Our retreats are purposely limited to a small number of participants (1 to 4 people), ensuring that you receive personalized guidance tailored to your unique needs. You can schedule a private meditation retreat or invite a few of your friends and make it a group event.
Throughout the retreat, you will engage in informative sessions led by Sherrie, where she will personally guide you through the components of her Daily Scripture Meditation manual. In these sessions, you will be shown how meditating upon God’s word each day can help to prevent and overcome:
Spiritual Struggles of Apathy, Doubt, Guilt, Indecision, Pride, Rebellion, Selfishness, Self-Reliance, and Spiritual Warfare;
Emotional Struggles of Anger/Bitterness, Control/Perfectionism, Depression, Discontentment, Emptiness, Fear/Worry, Grief, Insecurity, Loneliness, and Stress; and
Physical Struggles with Alcohol, Drugs, Tobacco, Food, Internet Use, Money/Gambling/Shopping, Pain/Illness, Pornography/Sexual Immorality. Singleness/Marriage, and Unwholesome Speech
Sherrie’s sessions will not only provide instruction but also inspiration. With her gentle guidance and transparency regarding her own Scripture meditation journey, participants will gain a deeper appreciation for its ability to bring clarity and healing to various areas of their lives.
Through personal and relatable examples, Sherrie will demonstrate how this daily Scripture meditation can strengthen our faith, obedience, and dedication to the Lord.
Moreover, you will find the atmosphere of our retreats to be warm and inclusive, allowing participants to feel comfortable sharing their own experiences and reflections. Either through one-on-one conversations or small group discussions, these sessions will serve as a platform for spiritual growth, offering practical tools and insights that can be implemented long after the retreat concludes.
Of course, participants will have ample opportunities to engage in their own moments of prayerful meditation, personal reflection, and journaling. These private activities are essential elements of the overall experience, allowing individuals to connect with the Lord and hear directly from Him.
And, last but not least, participants will have the opportunity to enjoy sessions on how to incorporate companion meditation resources such as Instrumental Worship Music, Scripture Cards, Meditation Walks. These sessions will offer valuable guidance on integrating these practices into your meditation routine, allowing you to explore the wonderful and complementary benefits they bring.
