Is this you?

Why do you feel stuck?

Many who need help working through trauma aren’t in crisis, but are functioning. That’s part of the problem — you can carry something for years while everyone around you assumes you’re fine.

You’ve prayed about the same thing for years and it hasn’t moved.

You can hold everyone else together and still feel hollow on the drive home.

Something happened to you, and you’ve never had words for it.

You’ve been told to forgive. You want to, but don’t know how.

You keep waiting to feel like the person you want to be or everyone thinks you are.

If you recognized yourself in these statements more than once, this weekend was built for you.

The Greek word poiēma means “a work,” “workmanship,” or “masterpiece”—something intentionally created and lovingly crafted by its Maker.

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10

Poiema is a reminder that your story is not an accident, your wounds do not define you, and your life is not beyond redemption. You are God’s workmanship—His intentional creation, still being restored, renewed, and made whole in Christ.

This retreat is an invitation to step into that truth—not simply to know it in your head, but to begin experiencing it more deeply in your heart.

Surrounded by God’s creation, you’ll step away from the noise of everyday life and into two focused days of reflection, teaching, community, prayer, and worship.

What this is

Not a conference. Not therapy. Something else.

There’s no stage here. No lanyard, no breakout tracks, no green room. Just a farmhouse, a small group of women, and two and a half days with enough room in them to actually feel something.

Poiema takes seriously what most retreats skip: that difficult experiences don’t only change what you believe — they change how you think, relate, and react, often long after the experience is over.

“God and my therapist saved my life.”Tasha Layton

This retreat is built on the conviction that faith and psychological understanding belong in the same room, and that needing both is not a failure of faith.

The Two Days

What You’ll Experience

Trauma Exercises & Teaching

Understand how difficult experiences can shape the way we think, feel, relate, and respond—and learn practical tools for moving toward wholeness.

Timeline & Story Work

Look honestly and compassionately at your story, identifying significant moments, patterns, wounds, and places where God has been present.

Group Exercises & Community

Experience the power of being seen, known, and supported through guided exercises and meaningful conversation in a safe community of women.

Inner Healing Prayer

Bring wounds, lies, shame, fear, unforgiveness, and pain into God’s presence through guided inner healing prayer.

Worship & Reflection

Slow down through worship, quiet, reflection, and time in nature—creating space to listen to God and to your own heart.

Special Guests

Receive additional wisdom, perspective, and expertise from special guests joining us throughout the retreat.

Tools to Get “Unstuck”

Leave with practical tools and next steps you can continue using long after the retreat ends.

Honest answers

Is this therapy?: No. While we use therapeutic techniques, this is a retreat, not treatment.
What if my story isn’t “bad enough”?: Suffering isn’t a competition and there’s no bar to clear. If something is affecting you, it qualifies.
What if I fall apart?: You’ll be in a room with people who won’t flinch and who will still be there afterward. That’s rather the point.
I’m not sure I belong here.: Almost everyone thinks that on the drive in. It’s usually the ones who nearly didn’t come who are hardest to get out the door on the last day.

Let’s Be Boundless Together.

No matter what you’re facing, we believe God is able to heal, free, and restore. Come ready to go deeper. Come ready to be known. Come ready to encounter God.

Your journey to true freedom starts here.
