A Day Set Apart

In our busy, noisy world, this retreat offers something rare: permission to pause. Permission to rest. Permission to encounter the God who calls you beloved.

What Makes This Retreat Different

This isn't a conference where you take notes. It's not a workshop where you complete exercises. Made Beautiful is a sacred pause—a full day to step out of the demands of daily life and into a space where you can simply be.

Through guided contemplation, gentle reflection, and the beauty of stillness, you'll reconnect with the truth that often gets buried beneath busyness: You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You are loved. You are beautiful. You are enough.

The Rhythm of the Retreat

A gentle flow designed to nourish body, mind, and spirit without overwhelming or rushing.

8:30 AM

Welcome, Opening Prayer & Overview

Arrival with tea, coffee, and light refreshments. We'll gather in our sacred space, take a few deep breaths together, open with prayer, and set our intentions for the day ahead.
