We created these retreats to give Christian women space to ​eliminate distractions in their lives and experience the peace and ​presence of God. These retreats gather the most incredible ​women who are kind, inclusive, and desiring rich connection with ​others, God, and themselves. Join us for a week, in one of the ​most beautiful countries, rich in cultural heritage, architecture, ​and art. Italy is as charming as it is transformative – encouraging ​you to slow down and give your mind and body the love and ​attention they deserve. Utilizing only the freshest ingredients, ​expect to indulge in delightful exceptional cuisine using locally ​sourced ingredients.

Our time together is invaluable as we steward the perfect ​balance between organized group time and space to move at ​your own pace, doing whatever your heart desires! Don’t worry ​about a thing all week from arrival to departure. We host ​worship, devotionals, and small groups whilst encouraging time ​to rest in your own cozy corner of the villa or outside spaces!

Olive Branch Women's Retreats was chosen to symbolize new beginnings, peace, and restoration, as ​found in the Bible. Our belief is that God intends to equip us with His immense love and bring ​satisfaction to His daughters in a way that nothing else in the world can. We see Olive Branch as an ​expression of the Father's heart for us. The theme for our 2025 retreats is "new beginnings," and I ​extend an invitation to you to join us in anticipating a unique and intimate message from God for ​each of us. He will guide us into a deeper understanding of His all-knowing and all-loving nature. We ​can find security in Him, knowing that He has a plan for our lives and our families.

During our time together, we will engage in a variety of activities designed to foster spiritual growth, ​community, and personal reflection. From heartfelt worship sessions to insightful Bible studies, ​from quiet moments of prayer to uplifting fellowship, each element of the retreat is crafted to help ​us draw closer to God and to one another.

In addition to spiritual nourishment, we have planned moments of relaxation and rejuvenation. ​Nestled in the serene surroundings of our retreat location, you will find spaces to unwind, whether ​through a nature walk, creative arts, pilates, or simply resting in the peace of God's creation.

As we prepare for this transformative experience, let's commit to praying for one another and for ​the retreat itself. May our hearts be open to the new beginnings that God has in store, and may we ​return home refreshed, renewed, and ready to embrace His plans with confidence and joy.

Looking forward to seeing what God will do in and through us at Olive Branch Women's Retreats. ​Together, let's embark on this journey of faith, hope, and love.
