Embrace the broken.
Empower the beautiful.
Experience breakthroughs.
Far from perfect, we are all a broken people searching for mortar to fill in our gaps from cracks pain and hardships create. Many feel discouraged, defeated, worried, filled with concern and overwhelm.
Brokenness can do that to anyone. But it doesn’t have to.
Something amazing can happen at the exact spot where brokenness lives. There lies the potential for something incredible; the gift to piece all parts of us back together in a way that makes us more beautiful and even stronger than before.

Our Savior is our mortar.
He helps us transform through our hardships to be a beautiful representation of His image and likeness. No brokenness is too messy for Him; no hardship too big.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 34:18
Broken & Beautiful Retreats offer women an intentional and Spirit-led pause to reconnect, recalibrate and rejuvenate.
We were made for community, we learn from one another, and our brokenness is at the heart of what connects us. Learn more about how you can experience a Broken & Beautiful breakthrough.

Meet Stephanie & Shannon
Two Women. One Shared Mission.
Both authors found themselves at a retreat, unaware that their time together would be a Divine Appointment. The two uncovered their mutual love for Jesus, their passion for writing and a budding friendship that was destined for more. They always knew God had a plan for their paths to merge, but both got goosebumps when they realized Broken & Beautiful Retreats may be His way.

Embrace the beautiful person you are despite feeling broken.
Become the beautiful and restored woman God calls you to be. Dive deep into Scripture, let your creativity spark during creative therapy sessions, and meet other women who are on the same broken to beautiful journey. Broken & Beautiful Retreats take place at various locations in Louisville, Kentucky and Southern Indiana.
Here’s the Broken & Beautiful Retreats Schedule.

Desert Day 40
Everyone is in a wilderness. Maybe you’re stepping into one. Maybe you’re in the thick of it. Maybe you’re just finding your way out. Whether it’s grief, career uncertainty, relational strain, health struggles or spiritual dryness — the wilderness looks different for all of us. But what connects us is this: we all walk through it.
Desert Day 40 is a one-day spiritual retreat designed to help you reframe your wilderness, recognize its purpose, and walk through it with grace, clarity, and hope.
The Broken & Beautiful half-day retreat will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday.

Rest + Rise
Before we can rise into our purpose, we must first learn to rest in His presence. Rest & Rise is an invitation to step away from the noise, quiet your soul and find renewal in God’s presence. Through intentional stillness, soul-refreshing activities, and time in His Word, you’ll release the burdens you’ve been carrying and rise with renewed strength, clarity, and purpose. Jesus often withdrew to quiet places, not to escape but to be filled. This is your invitation to do the same. Come rest deeply, so you can rise boldly in faith, strength, and purpose.

Broken & Beautiful
Brokenness is not a weakness, it’s a testament to our strength and a demonstration of faith. Acknowledging vulnerabilities can lead to personal growth and resilience. During our signature Broken & Beautiful Retreat, uncover how Jesus embraces the broken and offers healing in its place. Brokenness isn’t something to hide from; it’s something to surrender to Him, inviting His resurrection power into your life so redemption is possible.
The Broken & Beautiful retreat will begin Thursday evening and conclude Saturday morning.

New Season. Same Reason.
As the autumn leaves fall, reminding us of life’s ever-changing seasons, it’s easy to feel unprepared or uncertain about our purpose in the midst of transition. How do we navigate new or unexpected seasons while staying grounded in God’s calling for our lives?
Join us for a half-day retreat experience hosted by the Women’s Ministry of Scottsville Christian Church in Floyds Knobs, Indiana, and together, we’ll explore what it means to embrace change with grace and clarity, discovering tools to help you honor God in every season.
The Broken & Beautiful half-day retreat will take place from 8:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday.

Silent Night
Embrace the transformative power of stillness in the midst of life’s chaos during this 24-hour silent retreat reflecting on the humble birth of Jesus. Prepare your heart for the gift of the Savior this season through self-reflection exercises, biblical teachings to cultivate a rhythm of silence in your life, and creative activities that deepen your connection with Christ in a tranquil environment. Come, be still with us, and uncover His light and presence in the silence.
