The annual UMMAS Fall Retreat is a joyful and transformative gathering designed to renew the spirit, inspire fresh ideas, and deepen connection with community and Spirit. Held in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina at Lake Junaluska with lodging at the beautiful Terrace
Hotel, the retreat brings together spiritual seekers, ministers, leaders, creatives, and lifelong learners for several days of music, workshops, worship, reflection, and meaningful conversation.
This year’s theme, Rising Together: Renewing Our Spirit, Connecting Our Hearts, and Awakening to What Is Ours to Do - Together, invites us into a shared experience of healing, inspiration, courage, and collective purpose. As we gather in sacred community, we remember that none of us are meant to do this work alone.
Hosted by the Unity Ministers of the Mid-Atlantic States (UMMAS), the retreat welcomes anyone looking for inspiration, renewal, and authentic spiritual community. The 2026 retreat features New York Times bestselling author Pam Grout, transformational speaker.
