Abilene in October 2026

Praying for an Aspire near you!

In October, we will be enjoying the rugged beauty of West Texas.

A Place of History, A Space for Renewal

Camp Barkeley rests on grounds steeped in meaningful history,

once serving as a World War II training center.

Today, this sacred space has been transformed into the headquarters of an inspiring ministry dedicated to spiritual growth and community.

We are honored to gather in their welcoming facilities, which include:
- A peaceful worship center for our times of reflection and praise
- A warm gathering hall where we'll share meals and fellowship
- Comfortable lodge-style accommodations that blend simplicity with serenity

While the rustic charm may evoke cherished memories of simpler times, we invite you to step away from life's demands and create new moments of connection —with God, with one another, and with yourself.

Through our thoughtfully designed schedule of worship, rest, and renewal, you'll discover the perfect balance of spiritual depth and restorative peace.

Come. Breathe. Be refreshed.

October 8-12, 2026 Aspire Retreat

At Fall Aspire '26, we’ll

explore how to

find the sweet in the

bitter or mundane through the

lives of the 4 Mothers:
Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah.

Join us as we journey together through the sacred rhythm of Erev Shabbat (Preparation Day), immersing ourselves in the timeless beauty of welcoming the Sabbath.

Experience the joy and anticipation of preparing our hearts and homes for HaShem's appointed day of rest.

Come, be refreshed as we honor the

Sabbath together—a foretaste of the

eternal rest to come.

Testimonial

"This Aspire women's retreat was truly a transformative experience, arriving as a profound answer to my prayers during a season where I felt scattered across my various roles. It wasn't just a getaway; it was a holy recalibration of my heart, recentering me back to my core purpose and identity.
The curriculum was masterfully structured, with each teaching building upon the last to create a cohesive path toward growth. I found deep resonance in the focus on refining character traits (Middot) through the lens of Counting the Omer. This biblical framework provided a practical yet spiritual rhythm for self-examination, allowing me to see my responsibilities at home not as chores, but as divine assignments.
The integration of siddur study and intentional prayer time offered a much-needed stillness. It bridged the gap between ancient biblical wisdom and my modern life as a spouse and mother, reminding me that my identity is rooted in something much larger than my daily to-do list. I left with a renewed spirit, feeling equipped and deeply anchored in my calling." Lindsey H.

Part of our purpose on this earth is to make Tikkun (Repair) to the World.

At the Fall Aspire Retreat, we will do a group mitzvah project to bless United Rescue Alliance and its ministry around the world.

Aspire is about sharing the light HaShem has placed within

us with those in the world to fan their fire.

United Rescue Alliance has partnered with Watts of Love.

These lights are given to help survivors of disasters have light in places where they are unable to get any. These portable lights are chargeable by USB or even solar, giving many hours of light to better the lives of those recovering from disaster. Please check out the link to learn more:

The Hebrew word for "market" (שׁוּק) is pronounced simply as "shook".

It rhymes with "book."
