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.
