Empowering Women to Reclaim Their Well-being & Live Authentically
We believe quiet spaces in nature, stillness in God’s presence, community, and radical hospitality are healing for the soul and body. We provide safe spaces for women seeking transformation and for those who, after years of faithful service, find themselves feeling unfulfilled, burned out, and yearning for more. Ladies it is time to confront our inner challenges together, let go of what no longer serves us, and embrace our true selves. We promise to provide a nurturing space for you to embark on a spiritual journey of rest, healing and learning restorative rhythms that inspire authentic living and cultivate greater well-being. In providing wellness resources and undistracted spaces of transformation, we believe that you will be empowered to boldly share your unique gifts of love and creativity with the world.
Come join us and take the next step in your journey towards living out your most authentic story.
Who It’s For:
Are you a woman of faith who desires to embrace all that God has in store for your life, but often finds yourself feeling overwhelmed, burdened by self-doubt, or struggling with feelings of inadequacy? If so, you are in the right place.
Shine for Women is a supportive community where you can find the encouragement, guidance, and tools you need to flourish. Our retreats and group experiences are designed to help you grow in your faith, connect deeply with other women, and rediscover the beautiful love story God has uniquely written for your life. Through these transformative experiences, you’ll overcome your fears, tend to your inner world, and build the resilience you need to confidently walk in the calling God has placed on your heart.
Why It’s Important:
In today’s fast-paced, always-connected world, it’s easy to lose sight of God’s story for our lives. The demands of daily life pull us further away from the practices that renew and sustain us. As women, we often neglect our own need for rest, healing, and renewal. We feel guilty for honoring our limits and taking time to care for the inner landscape of our hearts. But when we don’t, we find it difficult to be our best selves.
Attending a retreat is a vital part of a woman’s spiritual journey because it offers the sacred space to pause, rest in God’s love, and allow Him to gently reconnect us with our unique design and purpose. It’s in these quiet moments that we experience true transformation—refreshing our spirits and rekindling our passion to live out God’s calling. Don’t miss the opportunity to step away from the distractions and rediscover the peace and clarity that only God can provide.
Three Levels of Participation:
- Self-Paced/Self-guided: You can come for your own self-guided retreat and experience some individual time of silence and solitude in person at Selah Ranch (our retreat center) or you can join our Collective Wellbeing Facebook group (for weekly inspiration). Secondly, for a completely self-paced option coming soon, we will be launching our online course called, Inner Retreat and a lovingly crafted inner retreat in a box which includes everything you need for a 30-day personal retreat in the comforts of your own home or grab some gal pal and do it together.
- Guided Retreat Experiences: Join us for a full or half-day guided retreat that allows you to unplug, find soulful connection, experience restorative rhythms, and cultivate a deeper understanding of God’s heart and vision for you. We offer several open retreats per year where anyone can join. We are also happy to custom design a retreat specifically for your women’s groups or ministry team!
- Deeper Dive Growth Circles: Join one of our growth circles to take a deeper dive into the material you are introduced to with our signature retreat experiences (Rooted & Renewed and Rise Up & Flourish). We have two cohorts (bible study like format) that we facilitate called Rooted Community Circle and Flourish Circles. These are currently available upon request.
