A PLACE TO REST. A SPACE TO RECEIVE

OCTOBER 9-11, 2026 RESERVE YOUR PLACE

 

Are you feeling spiritually dry, overwhelmed by life’s demands, or simply in need of a sacred pause? The Olive Leaf Retreat is your invitation to step away from the noise and rediscover the peace and purpose God has for you.

Join us for a powerful weekend designed to pour into women just like you—through biblical teaching, heartfelt prayer, soul-stirring worship, meaningful connection, laughter, and rest.

Whether you’re a leader, a seeker, or somewhere in between, this retreat offers space to breathe deeply, hear from God, and reconnect with your calling in a supportive, Spirit-filled environment.

The Birth of the Olive Leaf Retreat

The Olive Leaf Retreat was born in a season where peace felt like a distant promise—but God’s presence was near. Inspired by the olive leaf in the story of Noah, which symbolized the end of the storm and the beginning of something new, this retreat was created to offer that same hope to women navigating life’s floods.

What to Expect

  • 🌿 Inspiring sessions rooted in Scripture
  • 🌿 Intimate times of prayer and worship
  • 🌿 Opportunities for laughter, connection, and healing
  • 🌿 Time to rest, reflect, and recharge

Let the Olive Leaf Retreat be the turning point your heart has been longing for. Come away and be refreshed.

Meet Your Hosts

Jenn and Teresa, both speakers, coaches, and lovers of the Word, began to notice a growing ache in the hearts of women they served—an ache for stillness, connection, and a reminder of who they are in Christ. They knew God was calling them to create sacred space for women to step away from the noise, be poured into, and hear again the gentle whisper of the Holy Spirit.
