Women’s Workshop: Daring to Become Authentic

The hunger to be authentic is universal. It’s part of being human. Inside all of us is a drive to live in our true self before others, with ourselves, and, when we are ready, in relationship with God. At the time of the Early Church, it was described as a ‘personal thriving.’ Christ called it ‘letting your light shine.’

And yet there are so many pressures in our life that assault us. Daily stress, historic trauma, peer pressure, sheer exhaustion, addictions, and other coping mechanisms—these things (and many more) deplete our capacity to live well.

In this retreat, we will be exploring how to let loose more of that holy authenticity that brings life to us and to those around us, regardless of our circumstances.

By the end of the workshop you will have had the opportunity to:

• Be able to recognize more of the person you are created to be
• Have several personally-relevant tools to help you grow more of you
• Have new insight into how Scripture equips us to take up maturity in Christ
• Understand what threatens your capacity to be authentic and how to overcome it
• Have some new skills for living authentically in ‘tricky’ relationships
• Have heard numerous testimonies of healing and/or growth in relationship with the Lord
• Grow friendships and find companionship for your own journeying
