Rest, Release, Restore

A Wilderness Women’s Retreat

In the busyness of our everyday lives, we often forget how deeply we need a safe space to slow down and restore our body, mind and spirit. What better way to pause and renew than in the company of other women of faith, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of God’s creation?

We invite you to join us for the Beloved Women’s Retreat—a sacred getaway nestled in the Rocky Mountains near Lyons, Colorado.

Step away from the noise and into one peaceful day designed with your restoration in mind. Let go of life’s demands and reconnect with what truly matters.

You’ll experience grounding hikes through scenic foothills, equine-facilitated coaching with wise and gentle horses, restorative massage and energy balancing, heartfelt connection around the campfire, and quiet moments of prayer and meditation.

This is your invitation to breathe deeply, rest fully, and open your heart to the healing presence of God.

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
— Matthew 11:28
