WELCOME To STARRETTE FARM RETREAT 

School of the Spirit (SOS) retreats are held at the Starrette Farm Retreat in Statesville, NC, a private homestead (est. 1888) spanning 25 acres of rolling woodland and walking trails. Affectionately called “The Farm,” this awesomely beautiful property is conveniently located just 5 minutes from the intersection of I-40 and I-77 in Statesville. Walking trails, a pond, a labyrinth, special spots for resting, journaling, community gathering, and more await you — click the buttons below for more information.

School of the Spirit participants are responsible for their own overnight accommodations. Because Starrette Farm Retreat is a “day apart” venue, our collaborative partnership with two hotels, only seven minutes from the Farm, provides guests of day or multiple-day retreats with quality hotel amenities, complimentary breakfast, and discounted rooms! Details are provided upon your acceptance to SOS.

Spiritual leadership emerges from our willingness to stay involved with our own soul — that place where God’s Spirit is at work stirring up our deepest questions and longings to draw us deeper into relationship with him.
