Refresh & Renew
Three days. Quiet mornings. Shared meals. Honest conversations. Come away with us.
“He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul.”
Life is loud. Schedules are full. The roles we carry — wife, mother, daughter, friend, leader — leave little room to simply be.
This weekend is an invitation. To set down the weight you have been carrying. To linger in the Word. To laugh until your sides hurt. To remember who you are in Him.
What to Expect
Quiet Mornings
Coffee on the porch. A journal in your lap. Sunrise over the lake. Begin each day unhurried, with space to breathe and listen.
Deep Teaching
Four sessions of rich, soul-feeding teaching through the Psalms — drawing us into worship, lament, and trust.
Real Sisterhood
Small group circles, long meals, evening fires by the water. The kind of conversations that don’t fit in a Sunday morning.
Meet Our Speakers

Author of Stillness in the Storm, mother of three, and a tender teacher of the Psalms.
Dr. Elena Ruiz
Licensed counselor and seminary professor speaking on rest, lament, and the soul’s need for quiet.
