This retreat is for you if:

  • You feel spiritually dry and need fresh biblical insight and encouragement for your soul.
  • You long for a quiet, unhurried place to worship, pray, and really hear from God.
  • You enjoy meeting other women who are seeking to grow deeper in their faith.
  • You crave worship, prayer, campfires, and time in the Word.
  • You’re ready to leave space for the Holy Spirit to lead you into His presence and profoundly speak into your heart.
  • You are new to the Christian faith, not sure how to study the Bible, or need a safe place to ask questions and get real answers.
  • You have been a Christian for a long time and want to go deeper.

This retreat is NOT for you if:

  • You don’t like sharing personal space with people you don’t know.
  • You want a hurried, scheduled, fast paced experience.
  • Don’t like your picture being taken with fun people.
Sheryl Aeschliman Simply Scripture

Host & Retreat speaker: Sheryl Aeschliman

Sheryl sprinkles humor and gut-level honesty into her teaching as she shares down-to-earth life stories and biblical encouragement for growing deeper in Christ. She will be opening up the book of Psalms and helping each guest step into a more meaningful, Spirit-filled faith. Her prayer is that each woman walks away from this powerful weekend with a heart that runs toward Christ with abandon.
