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.

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.

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!

That said, the villa and surrounding areas are spacious, providing plenty of room for solitude, rest, and peace if that’s what you’re seeking. Whether you come for connection or quiet reflection, you’ll find what you need here.

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.

Yes, we will do our best to accommodate all dietary restrictions. Please let us know in advance, and we’ll ensure that your needs are taken care of with love and attention. Your comfort and nourishment are important to us.

Yes, we offer a 6-month follow-up via Zoom, once a month, to continue walking with you on this transformative journey. During this time, you’ll experience activation, accountability, and deep sisterhood. We’ll pray together, encourage each other, and continue the work of transformation that began at the retreat. This is a space where you can continue to grow, share, and be supported. Please note, there is an additional cost for this follow-up.

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.

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.

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 new to faith or have walked with Him for years, this retreat is for you. 

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.
