Letting Go

A Healing Retreat for the Woman Holding it all Together

Rest • Receive • Reclaim Your Soul

October 17-19, 2025

You give so much. When was the last time you received?

  • You carry others.

  • You serve faithfully.

  • You pray, support, encourage, and show up— even when you're running on empty.

This retreat is for you ~

  • The woman who feels responsible for everyone’s well-being but neglects her own.

  • The woman who hears, “You’re so strong,” but feels exhausted inside.

  • The woman who knows God is her refuge but hasn’t had time to rest in Him.

What if you didn’t have to hold it all together here?

Join a small, grace-filled circle of Christian women in a safe, beautiful retreat in Fort Valley, VA—where over-functioning is gently released, and deep soul care begins.

What to Expect

Individual and Group Therapy Sessions
Led by a licensed Christian therapist, Angela Gilmour, offering space to process emotional patterns, boundaries, and the roots of over-functioning in light of God’s truth.

Therapeutic Massage
Restore your body’s peace with intentional touch that tells your nervous system: You are safe. You are allowed to rest. (be still or let go?)

Gentle Movement Class
A soul-centered class designed to reconnect you with your body, breathe deeply, and listen inward—no striving, just presence.

Nourishing, Whole Food Meals
Delicious and thoughtful meals prepared for you—no planning, prepping, or serving required.

Time Outdoors in the Beauty of Creation
Intentional time outdoors to encounter both the beauty of creation and the Creator; where Scripture, silence, and beauty meet to refresh the weary soul. 

A Beautiful, Restorative Home
Surrounded by the stillness of the Shenandoah, you’ll be held by creation’s calm, away from screens, stress, and expectations.

This is more than a retreat.

It’s permission to stop doing—and start receiving.

Let God minister to the places in you that have been

carrying too much, for too long.

Come weary. Leave with a road map to wholeness.

Spots are limited to preserve intimacy and safety. Reserve yours today.
