RETREAT TESTIMONIES
"This was one of the best experiences of my entire life!!! It was empowering, enlightening, insightful, energizing and well needed rest and spiritual filling. The experience was more than amazing. Thank you so much for you all's yes to God."
- ASHLEY K., BIRMINGHAM, AL
"I'm so glad I decided to attend this retreat. It truly blessed my life. I'm glad that God was the focus of this retreat. With so many dynamic and accomplished women in attendance, what we "do", our personal development and accomplishments could have easily been the focus but I'm so glad the retreat was centered around our identity in Christ. The certificates we received on the last night were much appreciated. Again the world tells us daily that our identity lies in our successes or failures, it was refreshing to be recognized as amazing for being a daughter of the Most High. I'm glad the retreat was not filled with back to back sessions. This allowed for some true time for relaxation and rest. Overall I had a great time. I met some incredible women. The facility was great and very relaxing. I learned a lot and left wanting to seek the Lord even more. I look forward to attending again next year." -JESSICA C. PITTSBURG, PA
"This was my best retreat thus far. It had an itinerary but nothing too heavy. I enjoyed the freedom of praise and worship and the sessions. This mountain experience was the push and freedom that I needed to get to the next level."
- TORIE B., SHREVEPORT, LA

STILL UNSURE? WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE?
"It costs too much"
While there is some expense involved in attend the Serenity Retreat, the benefits outweigh the cost. When we say this experience is priceless, we mean it. From every detail to the connections to the love and presence of God, it will be well worth the investment you make.
"It's too far away."
The 2022 Serenity Retreat is intentionally hosted in a more remote place to make it easier for you to relax and unwind. If distance poses a problem, consider carpooling. Check our connect wall below and meet other amazing women who will be joining us from across the country.
"I won't know anyone."
We get it, going away for a retreat with a group of strangers can be daunting, but here's the thing: We are all family! We come from different backgrounds, yes. We are different ages, yes. We are into different things, yes. However, what we have in common far outweighs our differences. Sure, come by yourself but just know, you are going to leave the retreat, with new sisters and connections that will last a lifetime. (It happens every year!)
"I am too old/young."
No you're not! Our retreats are available for all ages and backgrounds. We truly have something for everyone!
"It won't be fun."
Ha! Girl, you haven't been to a party until you have been to a Saved in the City party! We have a great time! We laugh, dance, cry and have an all-around amazing experience. Imagine taking a trip with your best girlfriends and cousins (that's us!)
"I don't need a retreat."
Everyone can use a retreat. There is always more to learn and experience. You will gain so much by intentionally taking some time away from your normal pace of life for spiritual growth and personal reflection. Girl, you so need this!
There are a number of excuses that can be offered up for why you should not attend. Some may be justifiable, but often times, the main obstacle is fear. Don't allow fear of something new stop you from attending. Trust us when we say, you are going to love it!
