Leading my 1st retreat at the end of March. I was thinking of doing a service project because it fits into our subtopics. “Something Beautiful” ( Outer, Inner, and Outward) After we discuss how to care for our innet and outer beauty the way God intends, I want to show how we can reflect that beauty and light outward onto other women. I had a friend recomend SoleHope and was pleased to see it as one of your suggestions. I was worried that women might find it strange or different to have this activity at a Women’s Retreat. But I figure I can get 10 volunteers out of the 25 women coming and supply the jeans myself. Thank you for these suggestions. Lifesaver.

Hi, thanks for this GREAT info! I’m from the Tampa, FL area and I’m doing my 2nd 3 -day wellness/ faith based retreat called WaterRockRetreat in January and April of next year. My biggest mistake at the last one 3 years ago, was not planning enough down time! That is one change I’ll be making. This next retreat is all about the mind (and behavior change) and to lead up to it, we’re sending out simple little teasers (like a handprinted bookmark,puzzle, pen, etc..) to get them excited about it all. We’re also making encourage-notes to leave on beds at night and under plates during meals. Participants will take these notes and put them in journals we’ve given them. We’re doing an icebreaker Thursday making bliss boards…like a collage of things important to each person, then sharing. It’s a great way to get to know others. My ladies are all from different walks of life and backgrounds and don’t know each other typically. Thanks for your idea of making it a service project as well. I’m having them make birthday cards to The Heart Gallery Foster kids with words of affirmation and encouragement. I’ll keep tuned in here for more of your wonderful ideas!!!

In reply to Keish. Keish, I'm sorry you're having issues accessing the schedules. I just checked and the links appear to be working. They are PDF files so you'll need to have a PDF reader installed on your computer or device. You may want to also try opening them in a different broswer. I hope that helps!

In reply to Lynn. Oh Lynn!! This grieves my heart! I hate that happened...Unfortunately we can do all the prep work possible and things can still happen beyond our control. Praying God will use it for good.
