About The Experience
A Weekend to
Breathe, Be Still,
& Encounter God
"This isn't just a conference. It's an invitation to come away — to rest, to be restored, and to receive."
The Garden Retreat is a sacred two-day experience designed for women who are ready to press pause on the demands of life and step into a space of divine encounter. Whether you're spiritually refreshed or running on empty — this retreat is for you.
Expect intimate worship, powerful teaching, meaningful connection with other women of faith, and moments with God that you will carry with you long after you leave the garden.
Space is limited — this is an intimate gathering by design. Don't wait to secure your seat.
What to Expect
Every Moment Is
Intentional
Powerful Worship
Enter into an atmosphere of deep, spirit-led worship that prepares your heart for divine revelation. Come ready to be moved.
Inspired Teaching
Receive transformative biblical teaching designed to stir your faith, speak to your season, and equip you for what God has next.
Sisterhood & Connection
Be surrounded by women who are walking in faith, building their lives with purpose, and believing God for the impossible.
Rest & Restoration
This retreat is intentionally unhurried. Space to breathe, journal, pray, and simply be. No rush. No hustle. Just rest.
Divine Encounters
We believe in a God who shows up. Come expectant. Come with open hands. You will not leave the same way you arrived.
Meals & Fellowship
All meals are included so you can focus on nothing but being present. Nourishment for body and soul — all under one roof.
