Grounded Retreat 2023

Join us for a transformative and empowering Women's Retreat: "Who am I and Why Have I been Chosen?"

The quest to understand our identity and purpose is  at the heart of a meaningful and fulfilling life. In recognising our unique gifts and strengths, and our identity as beloved creations of God who are called to reflect His love and grace, we can walk in confidence in our identity and calling, while empowering you to help others to do the same. Together, we will explore our values and strengths, and celebrate the beauty of our uniqueness, finding joy, belonging, and purpose along the way.
