What Are Women Saying?

“I haven’t been on a retreat in ​over 5 years (4 littles at home) ​the “mini” retreat was perfect, ​and I also loved the theme!”

“I found a thirst for Christ I ​didn’t know was there!”

“I loved the opportunity to listen ​to the reflections and journal ​afterward. Loved the art activity- ​something to take home with ​me.”
