"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)

"I have attended the Retreat several times and joined the Big Sky Board this past fall. 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 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".

"I love the Big Sky Retreat for so many reasons. The location and the cost are definitely important, but the real reason I have been going for so many years is because of the people. We are such a loving and accepting group, always willing to be there for each other spiritually.  I always feel free and welcome to attend all the activities or none at all. It's the one trip I look most forward to every year".


- Chris Ackerson,   Nashville, TN


"I have been attending this Retreat for 12 years now.  From the first year, I found I was inspired and uplifted by the experience.  I always felt excited about each Retreat, although in times of transformation for me, it has challenged me to change limiting beliefs and expand my consciousness!

What keeps me coming back year after year is the expansion of consciousness of the Retreat itself.  It seems to grow with me!  Many years, it feels like the Retreat is the beginning of a growth spurt for me.  I see examples of teachers and speakers of high consciousness who inspire me to reach within myself for greatness."
