Next Retreat:
Your next “yes” starts here.
Sometimes the next best yes isn’t a yes to do anything. But instead to sit, rest, and abide in the presence of God and simply listen to His voice.
That is what the Next Best Yes Retreat is for.
This exclusive two-night retreat gives you space from the everyday bustle of life to allow you to gain God’s perspective on your priorities and next steps.
But we don’t leave it there. We’ll equip you with tools, strategies and resources to continue saying “yes” long after the retreat.
2024 Retreat Theme
Seek first the Kingdom
Do you want to hear from God, want to follow what He says, but are exhausted by the everyday stressors of life?
It’s hard to say “yes” when you can’t hear Him and aren’t sure where He’s leading you.
In Matthew 6:33, Jesus says, “Seek first the Kingdom and live righteously, then all these things (the everyday things we worry about) will be given to you.”
We believe that if we take Jesus’ words literally, we will not only experience more peace, more provision, and less stress and anxiety - we’ll also experience the joy and purpose that comes with seeking FIRST the Kingdom of God.
This retreat is designed to help you do just that. Unwind and disconnect so you can set aside time to make God’s Kingdom your priority. Then leave the retreat with practical next steps to sustain that kind of lifestyle throughout the year.
What to Expect
Rest
With plenty of green space to pray, reflect, and relax, you can be sure these days away will allow you to rest far and away from the everyday bustle of life.

Your Hosts
We are Mike and Kelsey Domeny. We have spent decades speaking at, performing in, and curating experiences for people to enjoy.
We have been coaching private clients who want to put action to their faith since we founded The Grove in 2022.
Recently, we’ve been talking to too many people who want to hear from God, want to follow what He says, but are exhausted by the everyday stressors of life.
We have dedicated ourselves to helping others say “yes” to God even when it doesn’t make sense. But it’s hard to say “yes” when you can’t hear Him and aren’t sure where He’s leading you.
We live our lives holding to the truth in Matthew 6:33. We haven’t lived it perfectly. There have been years and seasons drenched in worry, stress, depression and anxiety. But by God’s grace, we have also experienced decades of joy, peace, love, hope and purpose. Which is how we can confidently tell you that when you DO align every area of your life to seeking first the Kingdom and living righteously, you really can be free of the worries of life.
That’s what we want for you. To intimately KNOW and BE KNOWN by God so you can live the life He has created you for.
