Our events offer women an opportunity to set aside the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy a time of respite where she can reflect and receive, be refreshed and rejuvenated in the company of hundreds of other women. Listen to high-calibre, inspirational speakers, powerful touching testimonies and up-lifting spiritual music. There is always a warm welcome, great food, lots of laughter and a little something to take home. These are grace-filled days blessed with an atmosphere of sisterhood, new friendships and renewed hope.
