EVENTS/RETREATS


APRIL 2-4, 2027

Do you know God loves you—but sometimes struggle to feel it?
Do you long to experience God's love more deeply, not simply as something you believe, but as something you can receive and rest in?
Then I invite you to come as you are and be loved.
The Beloved Retreat is an intimate, deeply experiential retreat for women who long to feel more fully seen, known, accepted, and loved—by God and by others. With just 7–9 women, there is space to slow down, be heard, listen deeply, rest, laugh, and simply be who you are, wherever you are on your journey.
Together, we'll be guided by the foundational truths of Ephesians 3:18–19 as we walk through Psalm 139, making room for honest sharing, sacred listening, silence, reflection, rest, and experiential practices that help us discover and receive the unconditional love of God.
You can expect:
  • A safe, nurturing community where you can experience acceptance and belonging
  • Space to be heard—and to listen deeply to yourself, God, and others
  • Experiential practices for learning to receive and rest in God's love
  • Time for silence, reflection, rest, laughter, and meaningful connection
  • Nourishing food, beautiful surroundings, and plenty of space to simply be
  • Opportunities to encounter God's loving presence in new and meaningful ways
  • A personal gift bag and other tangible expressions of love
When I led the first Beloved Retreat, I thought I might offer it once or twice. This will be retreat #10! God continues to meet women in powerful, healing ways, and I continue to be amazed by what happens when we create space to receive God's love together.
“The loving community I felt almost immediately was nothing short of a miracle for me.” —Rose T.
“I have never felt the Grace and love of God more.” —Karen W.
“I am still basking in the warmth of it all. This is one of the few retreats of my life that I was not quite ready to go home!” —Angela
If your heart is longing for a deeper experience of being seen, known, and beloved by God, I would love to have you join us.
Come as you are. Wherever you are. And be loved.

SEPTEMBER 10-12, 2027

This retreat, which is a wonderful follow-up to the Beloved retreat, centers around the idea that because God is more than enough, we don't have to be! Often we "know" God is enough, yet we struggle to let go of performing, people pleasing, perfecting, or controlling.
  • If you are tired of trying harder, striving to do or be better, and feeling that you don't measure up, this retreat is for you.
  • If you sometimes feel you're "too much" and can't be your authentic self, this retreat is for you.
  • If you're weary of grinning and bearing it or "white-knucklking" your way through life, this retreat is for you.
  • If you desire greater freedom in Jesus—freedom to be who you were created to be instead of who the world pressures you to be—this retreat is for you.
Together we'll explore how to break free from performance-based striving and learn to rest in God's all-sufficient and never-failing love and grace.

"More Than Enough" will offer you...
  • An intimate group providing emotional safety, acceptance, and belonging
  • Time for fellowship and community with other women
  • Time to spend alone with God
  • Encouragement and real help for the journey to greater freedom in Christ
  • Contemplative exercises for personal application
  • A personal gift bag and other expressions of love
