Fees typically cover accommodations, meals with considerations for dietary restrictions, activities, workshops, and supplies. Specific inclusions may vary by retreat.

Retreats are typically hosted in serene, comfortable settings in West Michigan or specially chosen venues designed for rest and reflection. The location can vary by retreat.

Absolutely! Many women attend solo. The Risen Sisterhood emphasizes a welcoming, inclusive community. Hosts facilitate group introductions and support so everyone feels connected

Is there support for first-time retreat attendees?

Yes, new attendees are guided through what to expect, and hosts offer support before and during the retreat to make everyone comfortable. I am happy to schedule a free 1:1 meeting before the retreat as well to make sure you feel prepared and comfortable. Please reach out with any questions or fears.

Are these retreats spiritual or religious?

While the retreats focus on personal growth and may incorporate spiritual practices, they are designed to be inclusive and supportive of diverse beliefs and backgrounds.
