welcome to

S’ELLE Encounter

An Exclusive, Consecrated and Powerful Couple of Days for You

Here’s the truth…

We all need an opportunity to hit ‘pause’ and come together. Retreating for growth, reflection, rest, and connecting with God is a timeless practice.

Yet in our constantly ‘on’ culture, it feels more essential and refreshing than ever.

Even Jesus modeled the importance of retreat, taking time away to pray and be with His Father.

This was a very open, caring and peaceful place to spend a week deep in God’s presence. The casa is beautiful and I was very impressed with the lush grounds and gardens to enjoy. I had a wonderful 5 days with other women of faith and made lifelong connections. I can honestly say it was a week that I will remember and will refer back to as a turning point for me in my faith journey.

The retreat was very special to me. I have never expierienced such a relaxing, yet fulfilling and deep time. I will definetely join the encounter retreat again and recomend it to every woman, at every age who is looking not only for physical rest but also rest in their spirit and soul. The food was healhy and deliciouse and the fellowship so lovely that we connected very easily even though we are from very different situation in life.

ChristaSwitzerland

It is impossible to put into words how special this retreat was. I can say that this retreat has been life-changing. The location was beautiful, surrounded by nature, which immediately made me feel the Holy Spirit. It was wonderful to be together with so many sisters in faith, building a bond in such a short time. After this retreat, I feel more confident in expressing my desire to build the kingdom of God.

From skeptical to feeling like Mary — “I didn’t have to do anything.”

FAQ

The Heart of the Retreat

What is S’ELLE Encounter Retreat?

S’ELLE Encounter Retreat is a five-day journey of renewal, rest, and deep connection with God—created especially for women. Set in the peaceful beauty of a villa in Girona, Spain, this retreat offers a sacred pause from the noise of everyday life.

The word retreat means “to draw back”—just as Jesus often withdrew to quiet places to be with the Father. That’s our heart for you, too.

Through powerful sessions that invite you to go deeper, Spirit-led worship, and unhurried moments to simply be—listen, rest, breathe—you’ll encounter God in ways that bring healing, restoration, and fresh fire to your heart.

Every detail has been prayerfully designed to help you experience God in a personal and transformative way.
Come as you are—on your own or alongside a friend, sister, mother, or ministry group—and step into a space where your soul can truly breathe.

Who can attend?

Every woman—of any age, from every nation, in every season of life—who longs to go deeper with God. Whether you’re in ministry or marketplace, weary or thriving, searching or already rooted, this space is for you. Come just as you are.

Is the retreat open to women of all faith backgrounds, or is it specifically Christian?ed in the retreat?

This retreat is specifically for Christian women who love Jesus and are seeking to deepen their relationship with Him. It’s a sacred space for those who desire to grow in their faith, encounter God in profound ways, and experience His transformative love together.

If your heart is longing for more of Him, this retreat is for you.

Can I attend the retreat if I’m new to faith or haven’t attended a retreat before?

Yes, absolutely—please do join us! You are warmly welcomed, no matter where you are in your faith journey. We’ve seen time and time again how the Holy Spirit meets each person exactly where they are, guiding them on a deeply personal and intimate journey.

Whether you’re looking for meaningful conversations or moments of rest and renewal, the retreat has room for both.

..How do I know if this retreat is the right fit for me?

Take a moment to pray and ask the Holy Spirit to speak to your heart. He knows exactly what you need, and He will guide you with peace and clarity. Trust that He will let you know if this retreat is part of your journey.

What to Expect

What’s included in the retreat?

Your retreat package includes accommodation, meals, guided teachings, worship sessions, and activities designed to refresh your spirit. You’ll receive a welcome package upon arrival and have the opportunity for one-on-one prayer sessions. Enjoy group teachings and activations, along with fun and Holy Spirit-led activities.

Daily meals—breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner—are thoughtfully prepared to nourish and energize you. Your comfortable room with a private bathroom ensures a restful stay, with plenty of surprises to make your experience unforgettable!

What is the schedule like for each day?

Each day is thoughtfully designed. While we have a schedule set up, you are free to engage in the sessions or take time to go deeper with God in your own way—whether that’s through quiet moments of prayer, journaling, or simply resting in His presence.

This retreat is all about honoring your personal journey and allowing space for the Holy Spirit to lead you.

What is the environment like at the retreat—quiet and peaceful, or more lively and social?

The environment at the retreat offers the best of both worlds. You’ll have the opportunity to connect deeply with other women in a warm, supportive atmosphere, but the spacious grounds also provide plenty of quiet, peaceful spaces for solitude and reflection whenever you need it.

Whether you’re looking for meaningful conversations or moments of rest and renewal, the retreat has room for both.

What is the size of the group, and how intimate will the retreat feel?

The beautiful villa has space for 16 incredible women, and our vision is to keep the experience intimate, where every woman feels seen, heard, and deeply connected. It’s not just about the size of the group; it’s about the depth of the relationships and the personal encounters with God that we want to foster.

You’ll have the chance to truly connect, not only with each other but also with your own heart in a way that feels safe, nurturing, and transformative.

Are there any specific dress codes or attire recommendations for the retreat?

The atmosphere will be laid-back and inviting, so wear whatever makes you feel most comfortable and authentic—whether it’s a flowy summer dress, your favorite cozy joggers, a chic outfit, or good old jeans. Just come as your beautiful self!
