ISP San Diego

About Us

ISP San Diego began with a women’s retreat in 2015 and a men’s retreat the following year; in 2025 the women’s team hosted the first ISP retreat in Spanish. As one of over 20 cities within the ISP Network, ISP San Diego has brought experiences of love, hope and healing to thousands of individuals in the San Diego area.

ISP San Diego is thriving thanks to a robust volunteer team, an active advisory council, and a growing circle of supporters. The team currently hosts 6 overnight retreats per year and more than a dozen spiritual reflections each month. In 2024, two team members joined the 3rd Ambassadors of Hope cohort. See the ISP San Diego Information Sheet for more information.
