the Rest Experience
Rooted in Rest. Rebuilt in Rhythm. Restored in His Presence.
You’ve mastered how to keep going.
Now it’s time to learn how to stop.
(without falling apart)
WHEN IS IT
October 29 – November 1, 2026
Southeastern Wisconsin
Designed for an intimate and meaningful Retreat Experience.
Rooted in a Rest built just for you.
Rebuilt in a Rhythm God designed to sustain you.
Restored by surrendering control and being in His Presence.
What Would Change If You Actually Rested?
What COULD change if you stopped guilting yourself?
Girlfriend,
What’s your relationship
with pausing or resting?
Can you even sit in stillness, be silent, or enjoy solitude?
Are you being held captive in you busy schedule?
If your body could talk,
what story would it tell?
do you call yourself ‘lazy’
just for sitting down to take a breath?
Are you too busy being busy?
Do you ‘help others’ to the detriment of your health?
DO YOU JUDGE OTHERS FOR HAVING HEALTHY REST RHYTHMS?
Do you feel chronically drained and depleted??
Even after a weekend of “catching up” on sleep,
do you wake up on Monday already exhausted for the week ahead?
You don’t need to be convinced you’re tired.
Truth is…You already know.
What you don’t know… is why resting feels so hard.
You try to slow down, and your mind speeds up.
You sit down, and your body feels restless.
You finally get a moment… and instead of peace, you feel guilt.
The CYCLE begins again….So you get back up.
Do one more thing. Help one more person.
Push through one more day.
And that sense of ‘guilt’…. it never actually changes.
THE REAL PROBLEM
…this isn’t a time issue (I’m just too busy!).
This is a Nervous system and a Rhythm issue.
You’ve trained your body to live in:
~ constant alert
~ constant output
~ constant responsibility
~ constant cortisol buzz
So when you try to rest…
it doesn’t feel natural // it doesn’t feel safe // it doesn’t even feel possible
And no one ever taught you how to fix that.
WHAT THIS IS:
RESTORE
the Rest Experience
a weekend retreat for women who desire peace, who are tired of waking up exhausted and suddenly it feels like 4 years have passed by… this is a space to unlearn the guilt & shame the world has taught her & a gentle relearning of what God actually says about Rest & what is possible when she does it well!!
Rooted in Rest. Rebuilt in Rhythm. Restored in His Presence.
RESTORE: the Rest Experience is a guided, immersive retreat designed to help you:
• understand why your body and mind won’t slow down
• come out of constant mental and emotional overdrive
• reconnect with God in a quiet, real, grounded way
• and rebuild a rhythm of life that actually supports you
This is not about doing less.
This is about finally living differently.
READY TO BE RESTORED?
THE SHIFT:
Rest is not something you earn.
Rest is something you were designed for.
From the beginning, God established a rhythm:
work and rest
movement and stillness
output and restoration
But somewhere along the way…
you learned to live without the second half of that beautiful equation.
WHAT YOU’LL REALIZE HERE:
Most women think they need sleep.
What they actually need is rest in multiple areas of their life.
You will uncover where you are depleted:
• physically
• mentally
• emotionally
• spiritually
• socially
• creatively
• sensory overload
And more importantly… what to do about it
THE RESTORE PROCESS
1. RECOGNIZE
With a vision for building something meaningful, our founder brings a blend of big-picture thinking and hands-on experience. They set the tone for everything we do.
2. RELEASE
Through guided practices, you’ll begin to let go of:
• tension
• mental overload
• emotional buildup
3. RESTORE
You’ll experience true rest:
• quiet without pressure
• stillness without guilt
• connection with God
without performance
4. REBUILD
You’ll create a rhythm for your real life:
• daily
• weekly
• sustainable
5. RE-ENTER
You won’t go home guessing.
You’ll leave with a plan and the support to actually follow through.
“Come away by yourselves to a quiet place and REST a while.”
– Mark 6:31
THE EXPERIENCE
This is not a jam-packed weekend.
It’s intentional & slow.
You’ll experience:
• guided coaching and reflection
• forest athing and nature immersion
• breathwork to regulate your nervous system
• quiet, structured solitude (so you’re not left overwhelmed)
• prayer walk and time with God
• real conversations with women who get it
• space to think, process, and breathe again
WHY THIS WORKS:
Because we address what most women ignore.
You don’t struggle with rest because you’re lazy.
You struggle because your system is overloaded. It’s been programmed to believe that it always has to be on and ready. eggshells. high alert. prepped for anything.
The constancy of our world … the never-ending bombarding of data and information and emails and socials, and then the comparing, and fear tactics sprinkled on top… it’s too much.
Once your body feels safe again… Rest becomes possible.
Once you understand your rhythm… Life becomes sustainable.
WHO THIS IS FOR:
This is for the woman who:
• is always “on” and doesn’t know how to turn it off
• feels tired but can’t fully rest
• carries a lot and rarely slows down
• feels disconnected from peace, clarity, or even God
• knows something has to change
And is ready to be honest about it.
this EXPERIENCE is NOT the best fit:
if you’re looking for a casual getaway
if you prefer to stay busy the entire time
If you’re unwilling to slow down internally as well as externally
if you desire a jam-packed itinerary or an entertainment focused getaway
if you do not want feedback or coaching
Restore is intentionally designed to be spacious, reflective, and restorative.

Come Away and Rest
THE COST OF STAYING HERE
If nothing changes… You won’t suddenly feel better next month.
but… you will keep living:
tired
overstimulated
mentally overloaded
You’ll keep pushing through a life that was never meant to be lived this way.
My INVITATION to you . . .
You don’t need to keep proving how strong you are.
You don’t need to earn rest.
You don’t need another strategy to “manage” your exhaustion.
You need a space to reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been neglected.
You need restoration deeper than sleep and a rhythm you can actually live inside.
BE the woman walking away from this weekend saying:
“ I finally exhaled”
“ I realized how dysregulated I had been”
“I felt safe enough to slow down”
“ I left with rhythms that I want to use”

Before this work, she spent 27 years serving in emergency services as a firefighter, paramedic, 911 dispatcher, and supervisor, living in constant high alert while helping everyone else survive their hardest moments
Eventually, her own body could no longer sustain the pace.
After experiencing nervous system burnout, cumulative trauma, and a concussion that ended her career, Christine began the difficult process of slowing down, healing, rebuilding her rhythm, and reconnecting with God in a deeper and more grounded way.
RESTORE was created from that journey.
Not as another productivity-focused event or “self-care” weekend, but as a safe, intentional space for women who are exhausted from constantly carrying, managing, fixing, performing, and pushing through.
Christine understands this experience because she lived it.
And now she helps women move from survival mode into sustainable rhythms of peace, clarity, rest, and restoration.
