Dear Sister,
If you are like me, you know what it's like to sometimes feel exhausted mentally, emotionally and physically. Different seasons of life bring heightened levels of tiredness, whether projects, illness, intense seasons of leadership, can also lead to overtiredness, or even burn out. For many, this relentless tiredness feels a constant companion.
​
But what if there was another way?
​
​​Welcome to our Retreat, designed with your unique journey in mind. As a registered/licensed psychotherapist with nearly a decade of experience, I've witnessed the transformative power of rest and spiritual practices.
My heart is for YOU women in leadership, to come and find true rest. This Retreat is curated especially for tired women from all walks of life, whether you're leading in your church, juggling a busy life of motherhood, or balancing the challenges of your career and homelife, this is your sanctuary rest and renewal.
​​Our incredible team of women, each bringing diverse perspectives, has crafted this space for you to find true rejuvenation. Join us to leave not refreshed and replenished but also equipped with practical tools to integrate restful rhythms into your daily life.
​
With anticipation of how God will meet us there,
​
