The Journey Ahead

| Friday Evening | Session One: The Invitation to Surrender |
| Saturday Morning | Session Two: Walking in Surrender |
| Saturday Breakouts | Session Three: Building the House / Becoming a Woman Rooted in Christ |
| Saturday Afternoon | Session Four: Healing Through Surrender |
| Saturday Evening | Session Five: Walking Together in Surrender |
| Sunday Morning | Session Six: Living Purposefully |
Leader Posture
This guide supports leaders; it is not a script that must be performed perfectly. Prepare prayerfully, stay attentive to the people in the room, and allow space for silence. Never pressure a participant to disclose, reconcile publicly, receive physical touch, or respond before they are ready. When a concern exceeds the scope of a retreat conversation, help the participant connect with appropriate pastoral, clinical, medical, or emergency support.
