In fall 2021 we hosted our first Beloved Retreat at Mount Hermon Christian Camp in the Santa Cruz mountains. Women attended from all over California and even some from out of state. The retreats include multiple speakers, breakout sessions, hikes, worship, counseling, and time for rest, meditation, and fellowship.

In addition to mentoring and leading Beloved meetings, Natalie coordinates women’s retreats and loves to share her story and passion for women to live fully in the freedom offered in God’s restoration.
