Have you ever felt like you're just going through the motions — emotionally drained, spiritually dry, or like you're constantly trying to prove you're enough?
Maybe the weight of stress, anxiety, or old hurts is holding you back from stepping fully into the freedom God has for you. If you’re tired of feeling stuck, weary, or disconnected, then this is for you.

The Whole Hearted Retreat is your chance to hit pause — to breathe, reconnect, and finally release what’s been weighing you down. Set right on the oceanfront of Oak Island, NC, this isn’t just a weekend getaway. It’s a sacred opportunity to leave the chaos behind and embrace the life of wholeness, peace, and freedom you were always meant to live.

Led by Amy, a Christian Life Coach and mixed media artist with a heart for emotional healing and spiritual renewal, this retreat isn’t about religious rituals or perfection. It’s about God meeting you where you are — no pretense, no pretending. Just raw, real moments with the Creator who sees you, loves you, and wants to help you become the person He made you to be.

Set oceanfront on Oak Island, NC, this retreat offers you the sacred space to reconnect with God, rediscover your true identity, and step into the healing, freedom, and peace you were made for.

During our time together, we’ll explore practical tools that help you combat the lies that keep you stuck in cycles of fear, anxiety, and insecurity. You’ll learn how to break free from those emotional loops and step into the truth of who you really are — loved, chosen, and free.

You’ll also have the chance to express what’s going on inside you through art — not because you need to create something perfect, but because it’s a powerful way to process what God is doing in your heart. The artwork you create will serve as an Ebenezer, a reminder of the specific ways God is meeting you during this time and all that He’s doing in your life.

Plus, there will be opportunities for  individual ministry time with Amy, giving you a safe space to talk, pray, and allow the Holy Spirit to work in your heart personally.

We’ll close the weekend with a live worship service, as we come together to celebrate God’s goodness and offer our whole hearts back to the One who’s been healing, restoring, and loving us.

The Whole Hearted Retreat is for you if:

• You’re tired of feeling like you’re not enough or struggling to believe you’re truly loved

• You long to break free from emotional and spiritual burdens that keep you stuck

• You want to live confidently in the truth of who God says you are

• You’re looking for a creative way to connect with God and express your journey

You were made to live with your whole heart fully alive!

You’re His masterpiece, and He’s not done creating. He’s just getting started.

“God can heal a broken heart, but He has to have all the pieces.” — Corrie ten Boom

This will be Amy's fifth annual Fall retreat.  Attendees come from all over the country, year after year.

Here is what Rebecca has to say about Amy's retreats-

"I literally cry every time I think about attending your first retreat! I had no idea that God was going to show up in such a big way to rip the bandaids off and start the healing process. I can see and feel the change in me which is not only unexpected but something I’d never allow myself to feel before because I was considered that “good feeling” which was really Jesus rescuing and growing me, as being prideful. God wants to take our brokenness and mold us into vessels that He will fill to overflowing! Please, if you are having the slightest doubt about attending, just show up and witness God’s love in action!"
