DOMSE Fall Retreat Registration Open Ahead of September Gathering

FRANKLIN, TN — Registration is underway for the Diocese of Miami and the Southeast (DOMSE) Fall Retreat 2026, with organizers reminding participants that early-bird pricing is available only through Sept. 6.

The annual retreat will take place Sept. 18–19 at St. Ignatius Orthodox Church in Franklin, Tennessee, and will focus on the theme “On the Incarnation,” inspired by the theological work of St. Athanasius. Following the early-bird period, regular registration will continue from Sept. 7 through Sept. 11, with all registration closing on Sept. 11.

Participants are also being reminded that retreat registration and hotel accommodations are separate. Attendees must arrange their own lodging at the Hampton Inn & Suites Franklin Berry Farms, located near the retreat site. Organizers said a full schedule of events will be released in the coming weeks.

The gathering is open to clergy, clergy wives, Antiochian men and women, young adults, Teen SOYO members, children, and infants. Fees vary according to age and participant category. Teen SOYO members attending the retreat must bring a completed Teen Participation Form to the registration desk before participating in retreat activities or any Teen SOYO off-site events.

The DOMSE Fall Retreat will provide an opportunity for prayer, fellowship, and reflection on one of the central mysteries of the Christian faith as participants explore the Incarnation.
