FEBRUARY 4–7, 2027
THE CLOISTER AT SEA ISLAND, GEORGIA
As the light breaks through the marshlands of Sea Island, light is breaking through in some of the darkest places in and around Atlanta.
Join Bruce Deel and the City of Refuge family to celebrate 30 years of bringing light, hope, and transformation to our neighbors. Come experience the stories shaping our work, hear from remarkable voices, and share in meaningful moments of connection.

At the Cloister, hope is experienced in the quiet details.
Beneath the oaks, along the shoreline, or playing a round of golf—each moment invites you to slow down, reflect, and reconnect. In this coastal setting, perspective returns and something deeper takes root.
You’ll leave with more than memories—you’ll leave with a renewed hope for what’s to come.
