All women are welcome.
Wellness through Prayer.
Allow God to meet you where you are - one breath at a time.
Often in our prayer lives, we default to the ways we have always practiced, reciting on 'auto-pilot' rather than from our hearts. Or forgetting the practices altogether amidst the busyness of everyday. The Renew You Women’s Prayer Retreat will offer participants practical experience into various forms of prayer, enable individuals to align to a style that meets them where they're at, and inspire them to elevate their personal prayer practice through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
We each possess a variety of inputs that have come to influence our personal faith practices. And we all experience seasons of our lives where other priorities take precedence. It happens. And God is always welcoming us back - to Himself and to spiritual practices - delighting in our renewal. This prayer retreat will enable women to both re-engage in their faith as well as ignite daily, empowered participation in it.
Wherever you are in your relationship with the Lord, He longs to connect with you, to experience your every day alongside you, + to support you thru it all. The Lord will meet each woman exactly where she is. Meet Him and renew you.
The Renew You Women’s Prayer Retreat will be held at a serene Inn nestled in the tranquil Lancaster County countryside: the Inn at Twin Linden.

Workshop Descriptions
Awakening to God’s Presence
“Meditate within your heart… and be still.”
- Psalm 4:4
Awaken your awareness of the presence of God in silence through a Christian-based guided meditation. Learn 4 support tools to assist you in centering your active mind + receive tips to discover your own personal centering approach. Tools will be shared on initiating a consistent, empowering meditation practice at home along with enhancing your awareness of God’s presence in your every day.
Praying with Sacred Scripture
“Be transformed by the renewal of your mind.”
- Romans 12:2
Let the Word of God wash over you as you’re guided in a Lectio Divina (“divine reading”) practice. Learn 4 essential movements to hear personally from God, guided by the Holy Spirit, through Sacred Scripture. Engage your heart and head as you deepen your relationship with Him. Additional tips will be shared on other contemplative methods to welcome Sacred Scripture into your daily prayer practice.
The Power of the Written Word
“O Lord, You have searched me and know me.”
- Psalm 139:1
Allow your pen to flow and welcome God to hold you as you do. Prayer journaling is a powerful, unifying practice in our prayer toolkit. Receive prompts from Sacred Scripture as well as journal-inspiring questions to assist you in setting your thoughts + feelings onto paper while making space for the Holy Spirit to be present with you.

Why we’re So excited
“So many of us are looking for solutions - to stress, anxiety, exhaustion, or chronic busy-ness. In my decades of solution-seeking, there has been no self-care practice as empowering as building a personal relationship with Jesus through prayer. I am thrilled to share a variety of these practices at the Renew Retreat so that these women can grow in their own authentic relationships with the Lord.”
- Jessica
“I’ve been wanting to share more about my personal faith journey! Looking forward to leading participants in a guided Lectio Divina workshop at the retreat. A practice that has been so renewing for me!”
-Stefanie
“I prayed like a 2nd grader for most of my life! It wasn’t until later in adulthood that I discovered prayer can be many things - quiet time with Jesus, surrendering our biggest challenges, or a weapon against evil. We all have access to this gift - to pray unceasingly. This retreat will give participants the tools and time to go deeper in their own prayer life.”
- Kyra
