The Invitation
Do you love God but feel a gap between where you are and where you sense He is calling you?
Do you sense there is more, more purpose, more clarity, more of Him, but the noise of ordinary life keeps drowning it out?
Gifted & Chosen is a small, intimate retreat for 5 to 7 women in the highlands of Panama. Two nights set apart from everything ordinary. A safe space to release what you have been carrying, reconnect with God, explore your gifts, and find clarity on what He is asking you to say yes to.
This is not a conference. It is not a program. It is an encounter.
El Valle de Antón sits inside an ancient volcanic crater. The air is cool, the gardens are lush, and the setting is private. You will arrive on Friday evening and leave Sunday midday, sent forward into a life being made new.
Space is limited to 5 to 7 women. When it is full, it is full.
The Weekend
What the weekend holds
Friday Evening
Arrive & Release
You arrive, you eat, you exhale. Tonight is about leaving the week behind and entering something set apart. We gather, we share, and we begin to put down what we have been carrying.
Saturday
Encounter & Discover
A full day of guided reflection, scripture, journaling, and honest conversation. We uncover the sacred in the ordinary, explore your gifts, and begin to find clarity on what He is calling you toward. The evening ends in worship.
Sunday Morning
Commit & Go
We explore and plan for next steps. We pray over each other specifically and personally. We are sent, not back to ordinary life, but forward into a life being made new.
“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” Isaiah 43:19
