We are three Christian women with a shared passion for creating meaningful connections and empowering others. Together, we offer guided weekend getaways for small groups of women, providing a chance to step away from the demands of daily life and recharge in a supportive, faith-filled environment.

Our retreats are more than just a break—they’re an opportunity to grow spiritually, build lasting friendships, and rediscover joy through shared experiences. From heartwarming discussions to fun group activities, we create intentional spaces where women can connect, reflect, and leave feeling refreshed and renewed.

We can’t wait to host you on this journey of rest, rejuvenation, and spiritual connections!
