What is the "Cultivating the Heart" Retreat?
This is more than a retreat; it is an empowering three transformative days at the cabin, where you will discover your creator’s purpose and pursuits. It is an appointed time designed and coordinated by your heavenly Father to deepen your relationship with Him while building a community with like-minded women. You will learn how to take ownership of your heart and allow Jesus to reveal new things to you, welcoming the Lord with open hearts. You will experience and engage with Jesus, our gracious Super host, who always works wonders in our midst!

How It Began...
In an impactful dream, God showed me that I was caught up in busyness, much like Martha in the Bible, and that I needed to emulate Mary's example (in Luke 10:38-42) to stop the peril I saw in this dream. Despite my being a Christian with active participation in church, occupied with work, and family life, the Lord help me realize the importance of prioritizing sitting(stillness) at Jesus' feet. This shift resulted in a deeper connection with Jesus, bringing peace, joy, and His increased presence into my life. Following the Lords’ instruction to host a cabin retreat called "Cultivating the Heart" in 2021. I obeyed and hosted the first retreat in 2022 to share this message, inspire, and create a community centered on love and wholeness.
As the Lord transformed my heart, He desires to do the same for others. Our hearts are the source of everything, and we are responsible for nurturing them. This retreat is an opportunity to inspire this. The Lord calls us to take ownership of our hearts and allow Him to help us live our best life.
The Lord made this promise to me in 2024, this group of ladies will be wealthy and if we walk in love, He will greatly manifest Himself in our midst. I will see that we walk in love, and I believe to see this promise.
