What's Included
You Won't.
Many of the women who attend come by themselves.
And yet, again & again, something beautiful happens - strangers become fast friends & the four days feel like a space where you've belonged to all along.
You will be welcome here.
If you're wondering... Would I feel out of place if I come alone?
Just as you are.

"In a world marred by darkness and the weight of daily disgrace, being part of the Bespoke Retreat feels like stepping into a sanctuary of light. Here, among women who share not only a like-mindedness but a deep-rooted faith, I’ve found a rare and precious connection. We gather with Christ at the center, seeking to weave beauty into the fabric of this fallen world, drawing strength and inspiration from Him as the source of all things good and true." - Michelle G.
The Voice of Experience
... I don't have any previous design experience?
If you're hesitating, it might be because you're asking yourself,"What if..."
That's Ok! This retreat is about inspiration, not expertise.
Many women do come alone, and they quickly feel at home in this welcoming, intimate setting among kindred spirits.
We expect the same for You.
... I come alone?
Our time together will be rooted in a shared desire to grow closer to Jesus. If you are open to knowing more about Him, you are welcome and will leave equipped and encouraged.
...I've never been to a faith-based retreat before?
You'll leave the retreat with more than just memories , accomplished DIY projects & beautiful antique pieces - you'll have clarity, meaningful connection, and a renewed vision for your home & life.
...I'm not sure what to expect?
What you carry home with you from these 4 days will shape how you live, gather, and create long after the retreat ends. This is an investment in yourself & your home - which builds up and supports your family & your friends..
... I'm not sure this is the best use of my Money?
There are certainly seasons where we know our responsibilities at home hold high priority.
Many women feel the tension that things might fall apart without her at home.
But if you are in a place where you can get away for these four days - I want to encourage you that everything you care for will be there when you return, but you'll come back renewed & with more to give.
...I'm not sure I can leave home right now?
This isn't a space for perfectly put-together women. It's a gathering of women in the middle of real life - just like you.
Come as you are, wearing the things that help you feel comfortable, beautiful & relaxed.
... I don't fit in with the ladies there?
