The value of your retreat experience is approximately $1200 USD. However, the only cost to you is a registration fee of $250 USD and any transportation expenses to and from the retreat. Generous Thrive donors allow us to provide your hotel stay in a shared double room, all meals, meeting expenses, gratuities and other miscellaneous expenses at no additional cost to you.

Retreat attendees must be full-time, support-based, cross-cultural workers from the U.S. and Canada, currently living overseas.
