the tools to harness your identity
You play many roles and care deeply for your husband and children. Your life is full but sometimes you just feel lonely and exhausted. You feel like something is missing but you don't know what it is. You are restless and don't feel comfortable in your skin.
You want to understand yourself more, but don't know where to start. You heard somewhere that the answer to "finding" yourself is self-care, therapy, reading and even more Bible study. You do those things but still feel . . . empty.
What you're looking for is wholeness, a way of being where you and others see the fullness of who you already are. You want to embody this, especially in the next season of life. You want a safe space to practice being yourself and crave a community to support and mirror back to you.

May 1 - May 4, 2025
You are guided through deep Spirit-led heart work designed to help you become aware of the limiting beliefs that keep you from embodying wholeness. You will explore your story and begin to understand the roots of the beliefs you carry. Your willingness to shine a light and confront those beliefs is where you awaken to your uniqueness and transform into the person you were created to be.
AWAKEN
This is where you start to explore your growth edges by activating the parts of you that you've been hiding. You will learn the words of your heart and practice expressing what is true. You'll engage in exercises that explore the ways you learned to dismiss your heart and hide your uniqueness. Although it may be uncomfortable, you'll also experience being seen, heard, and fully known maybe for the first time ever.
ACTIVATE
Your retreat experience begins slowly and gently with an introduction to your spiritual anatomy and the Faith-based concepts that frame our time together. If you've ever wondered why parts of you feel missing or why you just don't feel comfortable in your skin this will be an a-ha moment. You will see your full self, maybe for the first time ever and attune to the parts of you that need your presence.

Thank you for showing up with a gentle yet strong heart. You held space for my stuff for as long as I needed and you never made me feel little. I was heard maybe for the first time ever.

God wrote you.
You were written to reveal.
Your story is meant to intersect with others.
- dan allender
It takes practice and time to step into wholeness and there's typically a lot of feelings after a retreat experience.
You don't have to make this transition and figure out how to integrate what you've learned into your life alone.
You'll continue to receive guided coaching and community support with eight weekly online check-ins following your retreat. TBD
Valerie has just the right amount of words - enough to allow room for my process, let me know her, and show me the way forward from her own experience. She held my story so carefully and allowed for so much healing to happen.

Meet your guide, Valerie Mowery
Gosh, I know what it's like.
7 years ago I said yes to a journey that I didn't even know I needed. I love to learn and I thought this group experience offered something to learn then do. Easy-peasy life hack. One and done.
As I started to learn and engage with others in the group, I became aware that I didn't know who I was anymore. Everything about my identity was based on my husband and children. I had lost my sense of self. I was lonely, exhausted and resentful. This resulted in behavior patterns that kept me from fully loving myself and others and experiencing the life and relationships meant for me.
I had to learn to access the words of my heart so that I could find clarity about my identity and heal.
Transformation happens in layers. Over the years I've peeled back layers to reclaim as much of my God given identity, this side of heaven. It's not so easy-peasy and it is life-long work for sure, but boy, it is worth it!
There's been a lot to grieve and accept, but with it comes peace and a connection with God, others and myself that I did not even know was possible.
I'm passionate about guiding you through the same experience that changed the way I see myself and the world.
