An Invitation

A letter from Audrene

Grief tore open my world the day my husband was taken home. In the deepest place of that loss, I met Jesus in a way I had never known. Not as an idea, not as a figure in a story, but as the Living One who stepped into my pain and stayed.

Out of that holy place, He rebuilt me. Through dreams, visions, and encounters that stitched me back together piece by piece. And then one day His voice came clearly, unmistakably: "Create space for others to meet Me the way you have."

Dear sister, that is what this retreat is. Not a conference. Not another event on your calendar. It is a three-day sanctuary where the spiritually hungry come away from the noise and come face to face with the Heart of God. If you feel the quiet tug reading these words, it is not an accident. He is inviting you. I am simply opening the door.

Answer the Invitation
What We Are Believing For

Four promises
over these three days.

This is what we are expecting God to do in the room, for every woman who says yes and comes.

One

Physical Healing

Bodies restored. Pain lifted. What you have carried in your flesh, Jesus is ready to carry for you.

Two

Filled with the Holy Spirit

Fresh fire. New language. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead, poured out over you until you overflow.

Three

Encounters with Jesus

Not as an idea. Not as a figure in a story. As the Living One. Face to face, in the room, in your spirit.

Four

Hearts Healed

Grief set down. Shame unmasked. The places you thought would ache forever, made whole in His presence.

Come expecting God. He has never been the kind to disappoint a hungry heart.

Michele Becker
Women & Wellness Retreat

I have been blessed to attend these retreats. I love when we meditated on Jesus. This has brought me closer to God. The Holy Spirit fills every retreat. I have also enjoyed leading a few beginner hikes for several of the retreats. I can't wait for the next retreat.

I have enjoyed the Heart of God Retreats for the last two years! Finding a tranquil haven where I can relax and get closer to God has been a blessing. I always love all the speakers. I made new friends during the retreat. I can't wait to return for another rejuvenating retreat.

Cheri Brown
Royalty Retreat

This retreat changed my whole life. God healed me from pain I had for months. During a guided meditation on Jesus, I left my body and saw God and He told me I was going to be alright. After this I could move again, and for three months now I have no pain. Praise God!

Dayna Johnson
Sky Canyon Retreat

The Sky Canyon Christian retreat was wonderful! I connected with other women. The retreat was calming and inspirational. I had lots of emotions come up during the meditation on Jesus, and I felt a sense of peace, calm, and rest. The whole experience was much-needed rejuvenation.

Questions You May Have

Before you say yes.

This retreat is for women only.

The retreat begins at 4:00 PM on Friday, June 5th, and concludes around 10:00 PM on Sunday, June 7th. We recommend booking accommodations from Thursday, June 4th, through Monday, June 8th, so you have ample travel time and can fully participate.

We recommend the Holiday Inn Express Wilkesboro (where we gather), or the Apple Hills Lodge on Prayer Mountain, which is about twenty minutes away. Lodging is booked separately from your ticket.

We do not provide transportation. We suggest renting a car for your travel while you are here, as you will likely be moving between your hotel, the retreat venue, and (if you wish) Prayer Mountain.

Lunch is not included with General Admission tickets. Please plan accordingly. VIP Admission includes one lunch with our speakers.

Refunds are available until March 5, 2026 (excluding a $50 non-refundable deposit). If you need to cancel after March 5, 2026, your ticket will be generously gifted to someone in need who wishes to attend but may not be able to afford it.
