This training is for female leaders of all kinds who have a passion to reach women for Christ and see them walk into freedom.

IMPORTANT: Our training provides an open space for women to share about personal experiences. During the training, you may hear stories about women's experiences with multiple forms of trauma, including self-harm, addiction, abuse, or other events that some may find offensive or triggering. We encourage all attendees to prepare themselves emotionally before participating.If you are in a place where topics such as these will affect you negatively, it may be wise to engage with this training at a later time.
