"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.

Enter into an atmosphere of deep, spirit-led worship that prepares your heart for divine revelation. Come ready to be moved.

Receive transformative biblical teaching designed to stir your faith, speak to your season, and equip you for what God has next.

Be surrounded by women who are walking in faith, building their lives with purpose, and believing God for the impossible.

This retreat is intentionally unhurried. Space to breathe, journal, pray, and simply be. No rush. No hustle. Just rest.

We believe in a God who shows up. Come expectant. Come with open hands. You will not leave the same way you arrived.

All meals are included so you can focus on nothing but being present. Nourishment for body and soul — all under one roof.
You don't have to wait until August to experience the garden.
Join Bonita every weekday morning for live, spirit-led prayer.
Central Standard Time · Monday – Friday
This is your invitation to begin each morning with women who are pressing in, seeking God, and standing in faith together. Bonita leads a powerful, intimate prayer call every weekday morning — and women across the country show up because they feel the difference it makes. Will you join us?

The daily prayer call completely transformed my mornings. I used to start my day stressed and scattered. Now I start anchored in God’s presence. It changes everything.
Bonita has a gift for creating atmosphere where God truly moves. Every morning I make sure to start my morning with God and these wonderful women in prayer.
The WhatsApp community is a sisterhood I didn’t know I needed. Women praying for each other, pushing each other forward, and pointing each other back to God — every single day.
