OVERVIEW

This retreat is a curated, invitation-based gathering designed for Christian women (18+) seeking intentional time with God, spiritual renewal, rest, and community.

​

This is not an open-registration event. Each attendee is personally reviewed, prayerfully considered, and officially invited before being extended the opportunity to register.

Spaces are intentionally limited and held in advance for those specifically invited into this experience. 

WHAT’S INCLUDED

• 3 nights and 4 days of lodging

• Welcome dinner, daily breakfasts and lunches, beverages and snacks (dietary needs accommodated where possible)

• Two dinners out at a restaurant are not included in the registration cost.

• Private and shared accommodations

• Teaching sessions, worship, and guided ministry

• One optional group outing (not included in retreat cost) 
  

REGISTRATION & INVITATION PROCESS

Attendance follows a two-step process:

1. Application Submission – does not guarantee acceptance

2. Official Invitation + Registration – extended only to approved applicants

A space is only considered fully reserved once:

• You have received an official invitation, and

• Registration is completed, including deposit payment

Each space is held specifically for you within a limited group. 

PAYMENT TERMS

A non-refundable deposit of $200 is required to secure a reserved space.

Payment options may include full payment or installment plans, as made available at registration.

All installment plans must be paid in full by the final payment deadline provided at registration.

Failure to complete scheduled payments may result in cancellation of the reservation without refund of amounts previously paid.

The deposit is non-refundable under all circumstances. 

CANCELLATION POLICY

Because this retreat is a curated and limited gathering, each space is intentionally reserved and prepared in advance. 

If you are unable to attend, the following applies: 

BEFORE AUGUST 1, 2026

You may receive a refund of payments made, minus the $200 non-refundable deposit. 

AFTER AUGUST 1, 2026

All payments are non-refundable, with no exceptions.

The deposit is always non-refundable and secures your held invitation. 

If a cancellation occurs after August 1, 2026, we are generally unable to offer refunds due to the proximity of the retreat and commitments already made on your behalf. However, in the event that we are able to fill your reserved space from the waitlist, we may—at our discretion—issue a partial refund based on the recovered funds.

All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing to Embolden Co. at mariel@marielvillarreal.com

TRANSFERS

In select cases, and at the sole discretion of the organizer, you may request to transfer your reserved space to another approved applicant from the waitlist.

Transfers are:

• Not guaranteed

• Only approved if your space can be filled

• Must be completed prior to the retreat start date

• Approved transfers are solely between the original attendee and the replacement attendee. Embolden Co. is not responsible for financial arrangements between parties.
