While there will be an abundance of programmed opportunities you are encouraged to take time to experience whatever will replenish your body, mind, & spirit. However you choose to spend the retreat days, may you be encouraged.

We realize mothers with babies and small children would benefit from attending the retreat. However, we do not have facilities to care for participants's children and it is best they do not attend.

About Kelly Brinkmann

Kelly comes to us highly recommended and will take us in a unique direction to connect Biblical principles to tangible lessons that reveal not just the characteristics of Christ, but how to abide with Him in daily life.

Kelly Brinkmann is a working artist and writer. She came to faith in Jesus in her teen years and by connecting her faith to art making, she continues to learn how to reclaim every part of her heart to align with God’s best design. Often drawing on illustrations and analogies, her writing and spoken messages invite women to know Jesus and experience God at work in their daily lives.

Kelly studied studio art in painting and earned her B.A., equipping her to use creative thinking and problem-solving in various nonprofit and corporate leadership positions.

She serves as a writer, public speaker, and creative instructor in her community at her studio, Art and Souls Creative Studio. She serves, learns, teaches, and mentors alongside women in her home church while starting her first term on the local school board in 2022. Her husband serves as judge in their county and they are raising their three school-aged children to love and know the Lord.
