This retreat is an invitation to be honest about where you are, while gently rising into where God is leading you. Through story, scripture, and space to breathe, we’ll explore what it means to trust God in the waiting, to lean on Him in our emptiness, and to carry both grief and joy together. You don’t need to have it all together to lead, to heal, or to hope. This is a space to arise—into truth, into healing, and into hope.
