history & Fellowshiup
Picture yourself stealing away to the heart of early American history and walking the storied grounds of Monticello, drawing inspiration from the very place where the Declaration of Independence was penned.
Feel the crisp mountain air as you wander the trails with kindred souls, sharing deep conversation and encouragement.
Then, as the sun sets over the Blue Ridge, savor warm apple cider and freshly baked donuts atop Carter’s Mountain, soaking in breathtaking views and the sweet fellowship of like-minded women.
This is more than a retreat—it’s a sacred pause, a gathering of hearts, and a call to step boldly into the purpose God has for you.
