Inspired by Psalm 23
Psalm 23 beckons us to trust in the tender care of the Good Shepherd and to experience the deep rest and peace that only He can provide. It's an open invitation to let Him guide you, care for you, and pour His blessings into your life. Whether you're seeking a closer walk with God or to find fellow sojourners to connect with, you are welcome here. We can go further when we walk together with others.
Christ Centered
We create unhurried spaces where women encounter Jesus as the Good Shepherd and are formed through Scripture, embodied practices, and attentive practices.
Holistic
We recognize that spiritual growth is intertwined with emotional, physical, and relational well-being, and we strive to honor women's lived experiences, limits, and stories as part of God's redemptive work.
Champion Others
We seek to cultivate a community where we actively champion one another through sharing resources, encouragement, and opportunities. We believe growth happens best when we celebrate and advocate for one another’s flourishing.
Connect
We cultivate communities where women journey together with honesty and care, listening deeply, bearing witness to one another's stories, and being formed through relationships marked by grace and mutual support.

Anonymous (2025)
P23 has truly been a sweet gift from the Lord that brought so much unexpected healing, joy, and re-ignition of new and forgotten passions. I'm so thankful for this time that truly brought me out of my depths of darkness in the sweetest gentle way and I'm beyond grateful for every detail of the program that really all contributed to the experience.
Esther (2025)
It was such a gift to slow down and be with the Lord and other sisters. Through this space, God spoke to me personally and intimately as my protector and Father. I leave refreshed, strengthened and encouraged to walk with Jesus who actively cares for me and delights over me.
Gina (2025)
It's the first time I've felt like an attendee without having the mindset of working or trying to help out. I haven't felt this mentally free in a ministry setting in a long time. Everything felt like it was intentionally thought through to help the women who are so naturally immersed in ministry and doing ministry. Thank you for your intentionality and all that you do. Thank you for your prayers for us and for me.
Esther (2023)
My time at P23 retreat was a gift from the Lord; it was a time to encounter God's extravagant love for me in an intimate way. It was a safe space for me to open up to the work of the Holy Spirit whether it be through a meal with fellow sisters, through an activity, and even in the silence of His presence. I am so grateful that I had a chance to participate in such a gift of time with the Lord and fellow sisters.
Linda (2023)
During this retreat, I was able to to sit and discover who God was to me in this season of my life; to hear His voice. I discovered that God wants to re-establish his Lordship in my life during this season because He loves me and I matter to Him. To be fully seen, fully known and even still, be fully loved was a sweet/overwhelming reminder of who I am to Him.
Joanne (2022)
The P23 retreat is different from other church retreats. It's like going to a spiritual spa full of rest and restoration for your soul. It provided the space needed for me to slow down from the busyness of life. The retreat was truly led by the Holy Spirit which allowed me to have a such a memorable time of deep connection with the Lord.
Common Questions
These retreats for women in ministry require only a $150 deposit to reserve a place in the five-month cohort. This is the only cost to participants, as the remaining retreat expenses are generously covered by our supporters. The deposit will be collected after acceptance into the cohort.
Financial assistance is available for those who need it. Please indicate your request for assistance in your application.
We currently offer follow-up spaces for past participants to support their ongoing journey of leadership and faith. As availability allows, we also offer one-on-one shepherding spaces, intentional times to listen, discern, and hold your story with care.
Looking ahead, it is our vision to create additional spaces for leaders across various spheres of society to connect and be formed through biblically grounded models of leadership. Please check back for updates as these offerings become available.
