Rest + Recharge is BACK!

Last year we, Natalie Romano from Be the Light Coaching and Heather Sanchez from One Wild Life, collaborated to create the first ever Rest + Recharge retreat! We are forever grateful to everyone who made the retreat the wonderful, spiritual time that it was. In nine short months, it went from being a dream of ours to a blessing being lived forward, out into the lives of participants. There at the retreat, strangers became friends, personal discoveries formed in reflection, faith deepened, and the desire to be in relationship with God grew. We were in awe of the Holy Spirit's presence and the courage of each woman in attendance! 

It was an honor to spend this time with the attendees! And we are so grateful for the stories we continue to hear from participants about how the retreat continues to impact them today!

Find rest for your body and mind. Renew your spirit in faith for all life's possibilities.

The daily demands you face can be exhausting. It is so easy to become worn down from this busyness! The things we agree to are often GOOD things with good intentions. Yet before you know it, life feels robotic, mundane, and you've forgotten for what you're even striving.  The success (or failure) of our family feels like a heavy responsibility when it is ours alone to carry. It's when we stop reflecting and reprioritizing that we lose touch with what is our main goal.

Our vision for this retreat is to create space for you: 

• to rest from daily pressures.
• to reconnect to your identity in Christ.
  
• to gain access to the peace and love of God here and long after the retreat.
• to hear vision from God for your life.
• to realign your priorities, values and time according to refreshed vision.
• to head out recharged + excited to pursue God's desires for your life.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest...You will find rest for your souls." Matthew 11:28-29

The stress and chaos of life will never just disappear. In fact, Jesus promises trials and hardship (John 16:33). However, just before His promise of trouble, He also promises peace. Faith in Jesus brings peace beyond our own comprehension (Philippians 4:7); peace we can depend on. It is our hope that you feel this peace at the retreat, continue accessing it well beyond our time together, and leave recharged in the purpose and possibility God gives. 

FOR WHOM IS THIS RETREAT?

• for the mom looking for rest from her work and the needs of the house + home
  
• for the professional looking to escape the pressures and stress of living up to expectations
• for the church worker/teacher looking to renew her strength in Christ 
• for the woman wanting to deepen her spiritual walk with God
• for the woman lost in the day-to-day activities desiring new vision
