Is This You?

You've tried to hold it all together โ€” but the anxiety won't stop, the relationships keep breaking, and the faith you once had feels hollow. Maybe you've been hurt by a church, confused by bad theology, or trapped in a cycle of shame. You're not looking for another self-help book. You need something real.

This Is Not Therapy. Not Self-Help. Not a Conference.

This is a small, safe, half-day retreat for 8โ€“10 women, anchored entirely in the Word of God. Led by Marisely Marte โ€” a BCC-certified biblical counselor who has personally walked through church hurt, spiritual abuse, and the confusion of not knowing what was safe โ€” this retreat was built from real experience and real Scripture.

You'll receive guided biblical teaching, workbook reflection time, rest in a salt room, and practical tools for discernment and next steps. No stages. No spotlights. Just truth, honesty, and room to breathe.

Registration for the May 30 retreat closes April 25.
Registration for the June 27 retreat closes June 13.

What You'll Walk Away With

This retreat is designed to give you more than comfort โ€” it gives you clarity and tools to carry forward.

๐Ÿ“–

Guided Biblical Teaching

Scripture-centered sessions that help you see the patterns you've been repeating and why they've been so hard to break โ€” through the lens of God's Word, not pop psychology.

๐Ÿ“

Retreat Workbook & Reflection

A guided workbook you'll use during the retreat and take home โ€” designed for honest processing, not performance. Includes a Scripture card and discernment guide.

๐Ÿง‚

Salt Room Rest

A quiet, restful session in a salt room โ€” not for mystical purposes, but simply for physical rest and stillness. A chance to be quiet before the Lord and exhale.

๐Ÿ”‘

Clarity & Discernment

You'll leave with greater clarity about what is true, safe, and biblically sound โ€” and practical next steps so you don't walk out inspired but unsure what to do next.

๐Ÿค

A Safe, Small Community

Only 8โ€“10 women per retreat. No stages, no spotlights, no pressure to perform. Just real women, real honesty, and real Scripture in a space that feels safe.

๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

Peace & Practical Tools

Not just a comforting day โ€” but anchoring truth and real resources you can implement in your daily life, relationships, and walk with God long after the retreat ends.

What Women Are Saying

From women who have attended our retreats

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

"Before coming to this retreat, I felt mentally exhausted, spiritually overwhelmed, and stuck in patterns I didn't know how to break. I left with such a deep sense of peace, practical tools I could actually use, and a clearer understanding of how to move forward in truth. This wasn't just encouraging in the moment โ€” it gave me something to carry home and implement in real life."

โ€” Retreat Attendee

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

"This retreat gave me space to breathe, process, and finally be honest about what I had been carrying. I walked away with peace, clarity, and simple biblical tools I could actually put into practice after I left. I didn't just feel comforted for a day โ€” I left feeling anchored, strengthened, and better equipped for what comes next."

Who is this retreat for?
This retreat is for Christian women in the Rochester, Fairport, and surrounding area who are tired of repeating cycles of church hurt, spiritual abuse, relational pain, and emotional exhaustion. If you feel spiritually hungry but confused about what is safe โ€” if you keep ending up in the same kind of pain with a different face โ€” this was created with you in mind.
Is this therapy or a self-help event?
No. This is not therapy, not a self-help seminar, and not a large conference. It is a small, safe, Scripture-anchored retreat for 8โ€“10 women with guided biblical teaching, workbook reflection, salt room rest, and practical tools for discernment and next steps. Everything is rooted in the Word of God.
Will I have to share in front of everyone?
No. There are no stages, no spotlights, and no pressure to perform or share publicly. This is a small, intimate space designed for honesty and rest โ€” at your own pace.
What if I can't afford the full price?
We have 1โ€“2 sliding-scale spots available per retreat for women experiencing financial hardship. If cost is a barrier, please reach out privately to lifeanchorcoach@gmail.com. We don't want finances to keep you from being here.
What do I receive at the retreat?
You'll receive guided biblical teaching, a retreat workbook, a take-home Scripture card, a discernment guide, salt room rest time, and practical next steps for ongoing support. You'll leave with tools you can actually use โ€” not just encouragement for a day.
What's the difference between the April 25 and May 30 retreats?
Both retreats cover the same content and experience. The April 25 retreat has an early bird price of $65 for the first 5 spots (then $95). The May 30 retreat is $95. Choose whichever date works best for your schedule.
