WHAT is Rekindle?

Rekindle is an enrichment travel experience for couples designed to invite and inspire thoughtful reflection, meaningful connection, and unforgettable adventure. It is an opportunity to step out of familiar routines and responsibilities and immerse yourself in the beauty and bounty of God in Argentina. Rekindle provides a framework for fresh exploration and a deeper understanding of your value and purpose as an individual, a couple, and an integral part of God’s redemptive work in the world. If you are looking to stoke the fire in your faith and your marriage, come Rekindle with us.

Each morning the Rekindle team will lead a brief group session to equip couples with innovative tools to spark transformative reflection on individual purpose, relationship dynamics, and community impact. Throughout the day meals, activities, and flex time will be designed to fan those sparks into flame.

WHO is Rekindle for?

The Rekindle experience is designed for the couple that is steady and rooted in their relationship, but eager to grow and deepen their connection to each other. They like the idea of traveling to another country but are overwhelmed by the volume of travel options, itineraries, and logistics. Rekindle is designed to reduce the stress of traveling and multiply the joy of exploring new places together. If the weight and work of everyday life have left you disconnected and distracted in your marriage, then get away with us and Rekindle the flames of affection and appreciation between you. 

In addition to the focus on your marriage, Rekindle will also invite you to think about your unique purpose as an individual as well as your role in God’s work in your communities and the world. The hope is that on the other side of Rekindle, each person and every couple will walk away refreshed, reconnected, and repurposed. Refreshed by the beauty and whimsy of time at the ranch, reconnected to the passion and power of relationship, and repurposed to enter back into the world in ways that bring more of Heaven to earth.

Where will Rekindle take place?

Our first host site for Rekindle is Cazapampa Ranch located in Northern Patagonia, in the La Pompa province of Argentina. For 4 months out of the year (March through June) Cazapampa is a premiere destination for hunters due to their robust and impressive wild game population. However, the owners have long believed Cazapampa was meant for more than hunting, and they are thrilled to open their doors and hearts to the purpose and participants of Rekindle this fall.

What is so great about Cazapampa Ranch?

Cazapampa is a gorgeous piece of heaven on earth. This sprawling natural preserve of 34,000 acres is located in Northern Patagonia 100 miles from the nearest town. The landscape is breathtaking, but the wildlife is the crown jewel of Cazapampa. Fallow deer, puma, red stag, feral goats, wild boar, black buck, mouflon, hybrid sheep, and water buffalo roam the hills and plains with grace and authority. Watching them is a sacred and sensational experience that you won’t soon forget.  

At the end of every day, the horizon puts on a spectacular show of color and clouds, delivering one unforgettable sunset after another. And once the sun has completely retired for the evening, the sky quickly becomes a showcase of constellations leaving stargazers in awe under the Milky Way. 

In addition to the natural beauty of this place, you will be overwhelmed by the warm hospitality of the staff and completely relaxed in the unassuming, rustic charm of the lodge. Don’t let the rugged simplicity fool you though, the quality of food, beverage, and service consistently receives a 5-star rating from visitors to the ranch. Cazapampa is the perfect place to disconnect from the relentless, mundane pressures of everyday life and reconnect with the deeper purpose and promise of creation and Creator. You are invited to be fully present and completely immersed in the experience, but you also have the ability to stay in tune and in touch with home as wifi is available at the lodge.

Where exactly is Cazapampa?

In order to get to Cazapampa you will fly into Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, and take a domestic flight to Santa Rosa.  The domestic flight to Santa Rosa is about an hour and 15 minutes. Once you arrive in Santa Rosa, transportation will be waiting for you to take you to Cazapampa Ranch.  The drive is about 1.5-2 hours from the Santa Rosa airport.

• Photographic safaris

• Romantic sunset picnics

Meet the Founders of Rekindle

What happens when a life coach and a counselor are best friends and travel to Argentina with their husbands to celebrate turning 50? They have such a memorable and meaningful experience that they want to do it again and bring other couples along with them. April and Sara have always enjoyed hosting and entertaining people in their homes and orchestrating fun for friends and family for special celebrations or to spice up an otherwise ordinary week. They love setting a table and creating an atmosphere that invites conversation and connection. As much as they appreciate and pursue growth, they know the beauty and value of levity….and therefore, laugh a lot! Travel and time with them are sure to be equal parts engaging and entertaining. Just ask their husbands. :)

Meet April

April is a professional life coach and ordained minister. April earned a BA in Religion at Samford University and went on to complete her Master of Theological Studies at Duke University. She completed her life coach training with PCCI (Professional Christian Coaching Institute) and is finishing the certification process with ICF (International Coaching Federation). She has spent the last 23 years of her professional life serving students and families at Samford University in the offices of spiritual life, counseling, wellness, leadership, and care. She considers it her calling to nurture relationships, to invite and inspire thoughtful reflection, and to create spaces for meaningful and memorable experiences of faith, understanding, and connection. Rekindle is a merger of that calling and her passion for travel and people. April and her husband, Mike, are empty nesters with 3 daughters finding their wings in the world.

Meet Sara

Sara is a Licensed Family and Marriage Therapist and a Licensed Professional Counselor. She did her undergraduate work at the University of California San Diego and earned two Masters one in Secondary Education at the University of Alabama, Birmingham, and another in Counseling at the University of Montevallo.  In 2016, she founded Sparrow Counseling, her private practice that is focused on strengthening families. Sara has devoted her professional life to helping couples develop and deepen authentic connections, guiding parents through the challenges of raising children, and supporting families in transition. In addition to her work, Sara enjoys gathering people for celebration and conversation and traveling to both new and familiar places. Rekindle is a perfect pairing of her professional and personal passions. Sara and her husband, George, enjoy spending time with their family…especially their two grandsons.

Meet Vicky

Vicky grew up in Argentina and attended USAL (the Universidad del Salvador) and graduated with a degree in Tourism and Hospitality. She has been a travel agent in Argentina serving Americans for over 20 years. What began as a travel transaction has become a transformative friendship! She is all things light and love and travel magic. When considering a trip to Argentina to celebrate our 50th birthdays, a friend of a friend recommended we use Vicky as a travel agent. Never have we ever had a travel experience (especially international) that was equal parts enchanted and efficient, restful and energizing, planned and playful, meaningful and memorable. And we had Vicky to thank for it! And you will quickly come to appreciate and adore her as well. Vicky will be coordinating your travel in Argentina as well as the Beyond Rekindle experience (see below) of your choice.  She will be available during your travels to ensure that everything runs smoothly and if you do hit a snag, you’ll be amazed at the speed and ease with which she solves problems and keeps travelers happy! Vicky’s native language is Spanish, but she is fluent in English as well which makes her an invaluable resource and easy connection.
