2026 Community retreat
February 5-6, 2026
Carmel Valley, California
This retreat is the signature gathering of our Flourish Fund community, when partners, investors, advisors, and friends come together to deepen relationships and celebrate what God has done.
Our time will anchor on a conviction that’s core to our model: when we strategically assemble givers and doers – each bringing our unique contributions to a faith-inspired plan – we can achieve something far greater than anyone could individually.
This year, the retreat will be held at Bernardus Lodge & Spa in Carmel Valley, California.
