Inside the Chrysalis: metamorphosis begins
There comes a time in every journey when transformation is no longer just a hope—it is happening, unseen but undeniable. The Inside the Chrysalis retreat is a sacred invitation to step away from the noise of daily life and enter a space of deep healing, rest, and renewal.
Like a caterpillar cocooned in stillness, this retreat is designed to nurture your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual healing, allowing God’s quiet work to unfold within you. Here, you are fully cared for—meals provided, every need met—so you can focus on the metamorphosis taking place inside your heart, mind, and body.
Over three intentional days, we will journey through:
Day 1: Emotional Healing – Releasing past wounds and embracing God’s love.
Day 2: Mental & Physical Healing – Renewing the mind and restoring the body.
Day 3: Spiritual Healing – Trusting the process and stepping into newness.
Through guided reflections, creative workshops, Scripture meditations, and restful stillness, you will emerge renewed, strengthened, and ready to take flight into the life God is calling you to.
Inside the chrysalis, metamorphosis begins. Your healing is already unfolding.

Emotional Healing: Releasing the Weight of the Past
Before a butterfly can take flight, it must first shed what no longer serves it. In this stage, we will gently open space to acknowledge past wounds, unspoken grief, and hidden burdens. Through guided journaling, creative expression, and sacred stillness, we will invite God to heal the broken places in our hearts.
Sessions include:
-
Letting go of emotional pain through writing, art, and reflection.
-
Learning to receive God’s comfort and love in wounded places.
-
Finding peace in surrendering the past and embracing renewal.
Key Scripture: "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." – Psalm 147:3 (NIV)

Physical Healing: Strengthening the Body for the Journey
Just as a butterfly’s wings must grow strong before it can take flight, our bodies are an essential part of the healing process. This stage focuses on nourishing, honoring, and listening to the body through gentle movement, restorative practices, and self-care.
Sessions include:
-
Gentle stretching, breathwork, or a guided nature walk.
-
Learning to care for the body as a temple of the Holy Spirit.
-
Exploring the connection between physical and emotional healing.
Key Scripture: "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit?" – 1 Corinthians 6:19 (NIV)

Mental Healing: Renewing the Mind & Breaking Free
Within the chrysalis, a caterpillar is completely transformed—old patterns dissolve to make way for something new. In this stage, we will explore the power of our thoughts, identifying and releasing limiting beliefs, fears, and negative self-talk. Through Scripture meditations and practical exercises, we will invite the truth of God’s Word to renew our minds.
Sessions include:
-
Identifying and breaking free from toxic thought patterns.
-
Replacing lies with God’s truth and speaking life over ourselves.
-
Cultivating a mindset of faith, peace, and hope.
Key Scripture: "Be transformed by the renewing of your mind." – Romans 12:2 (NIV)

Spiritual Healing: Trusting the Process & Taking Flight
The final stage of transformation is learning to trust the process, embrace newness, and take flight into the life God is calling you to. In this sacred time, we will reflect on the journey, deepen our faith, and commit to walking forward in freedom.
Sessions include:
-
Surrendering control and trusting God’s unseen work.
-
Deepening intimacy with Christ through prayer and worship.
-
Receiving a blessing and stepping into a renewed life.
Key Scripture: "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles." – Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
