A Weekend of Sunshine, Friendship & Creativity

Imagine stepping into a serene desert oasis, where palm trees sway in the breeze, sunshine stretches endlessly across the sky, and vibrant cacti dot the landscape. From the moment you arrive, welcomed with a refreshing drink, you'll feel the stress melt away.

This is your time—to unwind, reconnect, and create. With beautiful weather, breathtaking surroundings, delicious meals, and cozy craft sessions with a circle of amazing women, this weekend promises relaxation, laughter, and memories that will stay with you long after the sun sets on the desert.

Retreat will be focused on the Christian faith.

Charm School

A little vintage, a little whimsical, and rooted in truth, this retreat is my faith-filled take on the charm schools of the 50s and 60s. We’ll gather to create, laugh, and learn meaningful ways to reflect Christ in our daily lives - from hospitality and kindness to creativity and confidence in our God-given identity. Think sweet projects, encouraging conversation, and the joyful reminder that a life devoted to the Lord is the most beautiful kind of life.

If you need to cancel after securing your spot, I’ll do my best to help fill your space. If we are able to do so, a refund may be possible—but it is not guaranteed.
