“I could go on forever with praise about the retreat! The time spent with the BREATHE Mamas, Alumni, and the entire team was a sacred experience in every way. The divine welcome, hospitality, scenery, prayer house, praise and worship, fellowship, workshops, table projects, accommodations, activities, holy yoga and breathing, counseling, and endless "hidden treasures" with the BREATHE gift bags, surprise letters, butterfly release, and personalized gifts and prayers were all incredible! I'm still soaring and soaking up all the beauty and blessings from this anointed event! The light of Christ was shining brightly and eternally through every part of the retreat. Such a miraculous, mountain-top weekend overflowed with hope and healing in body, mind, and spirit to anchor and sustain us in Jesus' love, grace, promises, peace, and resurrection power for our journeys!”

“I felt instant love and care from the team, feeling seen and known. I connected with strangers who became immediate friends and sisters, and I was surrounded by beauty everywhere. The excellence poured into every detail of planning and executing the retreat was evident. The worship teams led me to the throne room, and every session had so much value to me.”

“The retreat helped remind me how to breathe again.”

“I felt very alone over the last few years trying to navigate the mental health crisis with my child. I didn’t know where to turn, and I was exhausted mentally, physically, and spiritually. This retreat renewed me and gave me hope and strength to continue on this difficult journey. It brought me back to my source of strength, God, and allowed me to realize I don’t have to do this alone. I can invite God to walk alongside me and lean on other moms for support.”

“My son has been an IV heroin and meth addict for 24 years. I've had to let him go so many times that I feared I'd never feel connected to him again. The guilt I felt over failing him was, at times, more than I could bear. At the BREATHE retreat, I found peace and hope—not in my son's healing, but for his healing. I left with a more intimate relationship with the Lord. Thank you to everyone involved—this weekend was the kindest gift I've ever given myself.”

“After a very traumatic and chaotic past 15 months with my daughter, I was a bag of dry bones and didn't think I'd have the capacity to receive anything from God or anyone else. I couldn't have been more wrong. From the moment I stepped on the campus, I was embraced, cared for, truly seen and heard, and felt so highly valued. It honestly felt like a dream. Every mother who has a child experiencing severe mental illness needs to begin her healing journey with this incredible weekend. It's like nothing I've ever experienced (even after being in ministry for over 10 years!), and the encounters with the Living God were life-changing and powerful. The BREATHE Team and volunteers are beyond amazing, and I flew home feeling rested, renewed, encouraged, and hopeful. I can't recommend this healing and hope-filled weekend enough.”

“It was absolutely amazing. It was inspiring and hopeful, and you feel like people truly understand all aspects of the hardships you are going through. God bless all the people who run this. Thanks to everyone for sharing and praying.”

“Thank you for sharing your stories. I felt less alone and encouraged by the strength of others. I very much appreciated the time.”
