As You Are Women's Retreat

"As You Are" is a women's retreat that encourages women to come together and be poured into, knowing that we are not alone in this journey of life. The title stresses to everyone that it doesn't matter what season of life you're in - whether it's trudging through the valley or witnessing the beautiful view from a mountaintop - you are welcome "as you are" in this moment.

You'll be able to shop from local vendors while enjoying muffins with the opportunity to purchase beverages including Bloody Marys or Mimosas, as well as non-alcoholic drinks. There will be a laid-back panel discussion on various forms of grief and encouragement from a certified therapist on how to cope in different seasons of life; a Zentangle session which promotes focus, helps reduce stress, and fosters creativity, while also encouraging mindfulness and a sense of calm; and the featured speakers, Tara Thomas and Amanda Goodman, with Faith and Four Letter Words, who will have you laughing, crying, and your jaw may hit the floor a time or two! Lunch is also included in the ticket price. A portion of each ticket sold will go toward three local non-profits - we will hear from these founders in the panel conversation: Chris's Heart Fund, A Gift from Grayson, and Austin's Crusaders.

This will be a day you won't want to miss filled with reflection, empowerment, and togetherness! Zero expectations. Zero pressure. Simply show up as you are. Once registered, you'll receive an email with an agenda closer to the event date.
