Retreat Sessions

Session 1: Divine Romance
For every princess in disguise, this weekend will be a time to unveil the unique beauty God placed within you at your creation. God invites you to experience the beauty, passion, and intimacy your soul has been craving. As you explore the story of your life, you'll get a glimpse of God's heart and the great romance He initiated before the dawn of time.

Session 2: Redemption
Every person's story is pierced by wounds with powerful messages like, "You'll never be good enough." From the pain of every day living to attacks from the enemy who fears who you are and what you might become, each person struggles to find truth and redemption. In this session, we will define the lies you have believed and take steps toward healing the wound - turning from self-defeating strategies and opening the door for Jesus to bring healing and hope.

Session 3: Release
If lies, fear, and doubt did not stalk and paralyze your heart, what kind of woman would you be? What does God think of you? This session will help you see yourself through God's eyes and learn how to celebrate and release the woman God had in mind when He made you!
