For 30 years—since October 1, 1994—Mark and Traci Froese carried a quiet, persistent dream in their hearts: to create a sacred retreat, a peaceful refuge where weary souls in the Christian community could find rest, restoration, and deep transformation. They spoke of it often, sharing the vision with others, but it always seemed to fall flat—like a seed planted in dry ground.

Then, in April 2025, everything changed.

Some close friends invited them to see a piece of property. It wasn’t just any land; it was the land. In that moment, what once felt like a distant hope suddenly became a door flung wide open. The dream that had waited three decades in the wings stepped onto center stage. From that day forward, it’s been full steam ahead for the Froeses, and Whispering Pines was born.

In a world where so many Christian leaders are burned out, spiritually exhausted, and on the brink of walking away, Whispering Pines stands as a gentle invitation: come away for a while. Whether through weekend retreats or single-day experiences, this space is designed to help Jesus-followers slow down, breathe deep, and encounter the restorative presence of God. With experienced inner healing practitioners on-site, guests are guided through the healing of heart wounds, invited into stillness, and reminded that renewal is possible.

Whispering Pines is more than a beautiful location -- it’s a strategic opportunity to invest in the healing and renewal of those who lead, serve, and shape the spiritual landscape of our communities.
