Program Highlights: What to Expect

Inspiration and Encouragement: Immerse yourself in a supportive environment where every detail is tailored to nurture your emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being. Our speakers will inspire and encourage while sharing practical approaches to real challenges women face today.

Fun and Laughter: In our day-to-day lives, we as women carry so many responsibilities. We take care of everyone else, but there is often no time to take care of ourselves. Laughter is healing, and fun is a necessity. This retreat incorporates both, while you are learning and growing too.

A Beautiful Relaxing Retreat Setting: The retreat is held at the Forrest Hills Resort in Dahlonega Georgia - a true mountain hideaway! Two hours north of Atlanta, near Amicalola Falls, a little slice of heaven located at the foothills of the Georgia Mountains.

Guided Small Group Activities: The sessions will include small groups so you can connect with women whose stories and journeys are similar to yours. These fun discussions and exercises will help you take the lessons from your head to your heart to your life.

Connection and Community: Connect with like-minded women who understand your experiences and share your aspirations. Build lasting friendships and a supportive network that will continue to uplift and inspire you long after the retreat ends. 

All Our Meals Together: Easy Peasy. Southern Style Comfort food and we get to eat together!

Saturday Recreation Options: Nature trails, horseback riding, massage therapy, hot tub, pickleball, volleyball, waterfalls, Canoe, Kayak, rafting, shopping, or just relax, talk and do plain old nothing.

A Women's Retreat Focused on BEYOND: This retreat is open to all women, however, it is highly recommended that you attend Take Your Life Back first (if you have been on either side of infidelity), as this retreat builds on what was learned there. This retreat is not a good choice for those fresh in betrayal crisis. It is for those who are healed or well on their way, focusing on ongoing personal growth for women - not focusing on affairs.
