(Do you know God loves you but sometimes struggle to feel it? Do you long to be accepted and loved just as you are—by God and by others? Do you simply long for a greater awareness of God's love? If so, Beloved is for you!
You're invited to "come as you are" and be loved! During this intimate retreat experience, you will be seen, known, and loved by other women who, like you, are seeking a deeper experience of God's love. With an intentionally small number of participants, you'll experience refreshing intimacy and plenty of space to be heard, to listen, to receive, and to rest.
During the retreat we will be guided by Ephesians 3:18-19 as we walk through Psalm 139 together, making space for authentic sharing, compassionate listening, silent reflection and rest, and experiences of God's unconditional love through a variety of practices and exercises.
Here are just some of the gifts you'll receive as a participant in the Beloved Retreat:
Comments from Past Participants
"This retreat was such a beautiful and needed experience! The loving community I felt almost immediately was nothing short of a miracle for me. Sally's teaching is deeply rooted in the Word and was such an encouragement to my soul. The imaginative prayer was water for my soul and I continue to reflect on what I learned. I cannot wait to start listening on a daily basis and journaling what I hear God say. Thank you so much for offering this beautiful experience." —Rose T.
"Sally beautifully balanced times of sharing and times of reflection. The opportunity to have quiet time made it so special, the opportunity to soak it all in and listen to God's voice quietly prompting me to embrace what He alone had brought to my heart and mind. I know Sally's heart is to be a conduit for the Lord and it radiates from her. You would be blessed, as I was, to be a part of upcoming retreat opportunities." —Patty
Through much preparation done by Sally, and because of the prayers of many people, the spiritual table was set and the Holy Spirit’s presence was evident. We were buoyed by prayer. That is the only explanation for the freedom and depth and vulnerability with which people shared. —Mary
Beautiful, peaceful and healing are the three words that I would use to describe this weekend. I have never felt the Grace and love of God more. —Karen W.
Thank you for this weekend! I appreciate you following God’s calling and leading us through a beautiful time of renewal, encouragement, and self discovery. There were so many times when my soul was ministered to. It would be impossible to choose just one to tell which had the most impact on me. God touched me this weekend and I know without doubt my life will never be the same. —Susan R.
The timing of this retreat was significant to me. I just felt that I needed some Christian support and to have a deeper relationship with the Lord and others. I don't have the words to express how gloriously the Lord fulfilled my needs. —MM
"The retreat was a wonderfully intimate time, experiencing God's love through prayer and fellowship." —CJ
"The retreat offered me an experience of being in community while also experiencing God in my own way. It was a good mix of group and individual or partner time."
"Sally did an excellent job of making everyone feel welcome and a part of the group. She created a sense of safety where we could be vulnerable and authentic. Every woman received and experienced God in her own unique way."
"I experienced God's love through the quiet moments and reflection. My invitation from God is to spend more time in silence and listening to what He has to say."
"Sally's leadership and guidance helped bring us all forward."
"I appreciated the earlier bedtime and later mornings compared to other retreats that I have attended, which left me feeling sleep deprived."
"A nice balance of communion and personal reflection. A wonderful experience!"
"My goodness--8 women of varying ages and life experience were bound together by God!"
"I left so many worries, anger, and resentment at Jesus' feet."
