What Other Women Are Saying About Our Retreats
I would not change anything about the retreat. It was wonderful and exactly what I needed.
It felt like I stepped into a community of women with strong stories and strong friendships. It was a weekend crafted to give care to places in our hearts that we don't often have time to care for.
The unexpected gifts and letters were so beyond thoughtful and special and made me feel so cared for.
Flourish Retreat FAQ
Flourish is a one-of-a-kind retreat designed to help you simply exhale and rest. With a small group of women, meaningful teaching, beautiful Charleston experiences, and space to be refreshed, this weekend is intentionally personal and restorative.
You are more than welcome to invite a friend to register with you, but it is not required. Flourish is designed to be a warm, welcoming space where women can connect naturally.
You may choose the room option that feels best for you. Some women may prefer their own bed or room, while others may choose to share. If you are comfortable sharing a bed with a friend, you will be able to reduce your registration cost.
Your registration includes housing, some meals, the horse-drawn carriage ride, the historic home tour, teaching, and retreat sessions. You will be responsible for getting to the retreat home, as well as transportation to the home tour and carriage ride. Sharing rides is recommended.
We will share our first meal together on Thursday evening at the retreat home. You will also be treated to most breakfasts, as well as some additional lunches and dinners. We’ll enjoy a couple of meals out together at some wonderful Charleston restaurants. Those meals are not included in the retreat cost, so please plan to bring your own payment for these.
Charleston International Airport is the closest major airport. Once you arrive, you will be responsible for transportation to the retreat home.
Check in is Thursday at 6pm, and we will kick off the retreat together with some fun activities that evening. We will enjoy a full weekend together and check out on Sunday at 10am.
We will accommodate food allergies and sensitivities to the best of our ability. The home we are staying in is a pet-free home. If you have questions, please contact us here.
The carriage ride will be a beautiful and relaxed way to experience Charleston’s historic charm. You will enjoy the city from a unique perspective while taking in its architecture, streets, and stories. The horses are well-cared-for with regular breaks and temperature checks.
You will explore some of Charleston’s most historic private homes during a self-guided tour. Many of these homes are rarely opened to the public, and some may only be available to tour once, making this a special opportunity to experience Charleston in a way few ever do.
Please bring comfortable shoes as the tours will require quite a bit of walking.
We are not able to offer refunds at this time because of the intimate size of this retreat and the commitments required to reserve accommodations and experiences. However, your retreat ticket is transferable.
Flourish is a Christian retreat rooted in the belief that God lovingly created us, Jesus Christ is our Savior, and Scripture is the true and trustworthy Word of God. Read our full statement of faith here.
