May 1, 2025
Dear Christian women and friends,
Did you ever consider that peace and joy are not just emotions? They are also fruits of the Spirit that are given to as gifts, to be grown and cultivated by each of us - and to be resources that we can draw strength from regardless of circumstances. Isn't that beautiful? But - how do we cultivate that type of living?
As we ponder that question for a moment, allow me to share some exciting and wonderful news with you on this first day of May!
Here’s what’s happening this month:
🌿 Free Faith & Soul Care Online Retreat – Now Open for Registration!
Come join us for this completely free, online 5-week learning retreat designed to help you reconnect with God, release stress, renew your energy, and learn strategies to fill your days with intention and purpose.

🌿 Women’s Online Connection Group Cohort – Registration Now Open!
Our first online group cohort is forming now! This is a safe and supportive space for Christian women to gather weekly over the course of 5 weeks early this summer. We will grow in faith, restore joy, purpose, and energy, and walk through and share real-life together. If you’re craving connection, purpose, and faith-centered transformation, you’ll love being part of this group. We are starting the last week of May for the first 5 week group cohort. Then we will take a break in July and begin a second round of cohorts learning which will build on this first round of learning. The Women's Cohort will run the same weeks as the Online Faith & Soul Care Retreat. You join the online learning retreat for FREE, and then you may upgrade to participate in the optional small group cohort. See the Overview and Register for the Small Group Connection Cohort Here.

🌿 Individual Appointments for Pre-Teen, Teen and College Age Girls – Opening Soon
Private sessions for faith-based counseling and faith-based positive mental health coaching will begin Monday, May 5th. These individual sessions are for adult women and girls ages 12 and up.
For teen and pre-teen girls, sessions will gently focus on:
-
Developing a healthy and secure self-concept
-
Identifying personal strengths and building confidence
-
Emotion regulation and mindfulness practices
-
Rewiring anxious or negative thought patterns
If you're a parent looking for Christ-centered support for your daughter, or if you’re personally seeking clarity, calm, or confidence as a young, college aged adult —these sessions are here for you.
An easy-to-use online appointment scheduling system will be live by this weekend, so keep an eye out!
