Dear Sister,
Have you felt the quiet loneliness that grief brings… the sense that you are walking a path few around you truly understand?
Have you longed to sit with women who understand the tender weight of loss… where you don’t have to explain your tears or pretend you are further along than you are?
Do you love Christ deeply, yet find yourself whispering hard questions in the dark — wondering who you are now, what remains, and whether beauty can grow again in soil so heavy with loss?
Then sister, this retreat is exactly what your heart is yearning for.
For three refreshing summer days at Mayhurst Estate, you will step into a place where grief is met with Scripture, gospel-centered counsel, prayer, beauty, and stillness. You will wander gardens blooming with flowers, breathe deeply of fresh country air, journal what your heart has struggled to say, and learn to rest in the quiet assurance that God lovingly tends even the hidden places of our lives.
Here, you are not rushed. You are not expected to be healed. You are simply invited to come, to be seen, and to allow hope to gently bloom again.
We cannot wait to step into this dreamy getaway with you!
