Awaken. Restore. Radiate.
A 4-day Christ-centered hiking & wellness retreat for women — reconnecting with God, yourself, and your purpose.
Step Away From the Noise
Life has a way of pulling us in a hundred different directions.
We spend our days pouring into our careers, our families, our ministries, and everyone around us — often leaving very little room to simply be still.
Awaken Her was created as an invitation to pause.
To step away from the noise. To reconnect with God. To care for your body. To build meaningful sisterhood. And to rediscover the woman God is calling you to become.
This is not simply a retreat. It is a thoughtfully curated journey designed to nourish your spirit, restore your body, and awaken your purpose.
The Inspiration
Every part of the retreat follows the journey of Ruth — a woman whose ordinary acts of faithfulness became part of God's extraordinary plan.
Throughout the weekend, we'll walk through Ruth's story together, discovering what it means to surrender, trust God's timing, walk in obedience, and build a legacy that extends beyond ourselves.
Like Ruth, we may not always understand where God is leading us. But we can choose to faithfully take the next step.
The Journey
Begin by laying down what you've been carrying. Through worship, Scripture, and heartfelt conversation, we'll reflect on Ruth Chapter 1 and create space for surrender, healing, and renewed trust in God.
We'll begin the day on the trail, allowing nature to become our sanctuary for prayer and reflection. The afternoon slows into intentional rest through massage therapy, journaling, prayer, and quiet moments with God. That evening, a cozy Bible Sharing Circle on Ruth 2–3 explores positioning, favor, wise counsel, and obedience. Each woman writes down what God is awakening within her and places it into the Ruth Box, entrusting her prayers, dreams, and next faithful steps to God.
After a morning of movement, nourishment, and wellness education, we prepare for the Radiance Experience — dressed in vibrant floral dresses, celebrating the beauty, strength, and purpose God has placed within every woman. That evening, the Radiance Dinner celebrates faithfulness and womanhood before Paint Her Story and a final Bible Sharing Circle inspired by Ruth Chapter 4.
Before departing, each woman receives back the reflection she placed inside the Ruth Box. After four days of prayer, worship, hiking, wellness, and sisterhood, she revisits her words and writes one final declaration: "My next faithful step is..." We pray over one another, celebrate what God has done, and return home not simply inspired — but commissioned.

More Than a Retreat

Is This Retreat for You?
Whether you're entering a new season, navigating transition, or simply craving stillness, you'll find a place here.
The Setting
Desert mountains, wide-open sky, and sunsets that feel painted on purpose. Like Ruth following Naomi into unfamiliar land, sometimes God does His deepest work somewhere new. The exact retreat location will be shared with registered guests closer to the date.
Meet Your Host
After walking through my own journey of healing, faith, and personal transformation, God placed a vision on my heart to create experiences where women could reconnect with Him, care for their bodies, and discover the beauty of authentic community through nature.
Awaken Her is the first expression of that vision. I can't wait to welcome you.

This Is Our Inaugural Retreat
Awaken Her is intentionally designed as an intimate experience with a limited number of women. Rather than opening registration publicly, we're beginning with a small Founding Circle.
