Details of this retreat

Have you ever replayed a painful interaction in your mind, wishing you’d found the right words? Do you tiptoe around certain people to avoid conflict—or silently swallow your true feelings?
In this inspiring, day-long experience, you’ll discover new possibilities for communicating that you may never have thought possible. You’ll learn how to say “no” with grace, how to disagree without losing respect, and how to express hurt feelings in ways that leave you stronger, clearer, and more empowered.
Imagine being able to:



Introduce an idea to a group—even when you know they see the world differently.


Tell the people you love exactly what you want and what you do not want.


Draw boundaries with clarity, kindness, and confidence—and have them respected.


Through five proven, practical techniques, you will gain the skills to turn challenging conversations into moments of growth and connection. By the end of the day, you’ll leave not only equipped, but inspired to speak your truth with poise, respect, and results.
Begins at 9:00am - Ends at 5:00pm
Lunch is included.

Come to the Table: A Day on the Holy Spirit
Val and Michelle did a wonderful job on creating content that was thought-provoking, enlightening and stimulating. To be in an environment as serene and welcoming as Genesis as the backdrop for this wonderful women’s retreat was truly special. I walked away feeling full of wisdom and hope. I would recommend this retreat to other women and will definitely be back!

Come To The Table:A Day on the Hoky Spirit
I think the facility is perfect for this seminar. The lights, decorations and treats were a great addition to the day. The speaker was very knowledgeable about the Bible and the modern interpretation of the Holy Spirit. It was a complete day but moved very fast with breakout sessions and lunch. I hope to be invited back!

Come to the Table
Have been coming to this retreat since it was first offered and have benefited from every single one. Val and Michele. do a fantastic job of preparing the presentation of the subject matter, as well as treating you like an honored guest. The attention to detail is something else! Homemade cookies, coffee, water, candies, snacks, etc.. not to mention beautiful notebooks for each guest. No matter your age, faith, or lack of it or where you are in your life matters. You are treated as an honored guest and respected individual.
You can’t help but find some measure of peace and insight through their well prepared presentations.
A must attend event for me, and one I look forward to!
