Hello, friends! We are hosting our next Holistic Wellness Retreat at Crystal Mountain in Northern Michigan (November 5-7, 2021) for survivors of s*xual assault. If you, or someone you know, has experienced s*xual assault, human trafficking, or any form of exploitation, and could benefit from a weekend of whole-body wellness, please sign up through the link below! We've got 2 scholarships left, meaning this is completely FREE to you. We can't wait to spend this time together.

This is a faith-based retreat where we'll be covering topics of identity, hiking in Frankfort, MI, engaging in a cooking class together, and participating in other holistic wellness practices. Hope you can join us!

Hey, friends! It’s been a while, but we wanted to let you know we are hosting a faith-based Women’s Retreat in Puerto Rico, March 3-10, 2022 at a beautiful beach villa, and we want YOU to join us.

This will be an incredible opportunity to grow in our faith as we dive deep into nine different Sacred Pathways in our attempt to refresh and renew our individual walks with the Lord. From clear-bottom kayaking to zip lining; communion meals, worship on the beach, and a walking tour of Old San Juan, there’s something for everyone on this trip. AND, you’ll allow one survivor of human trafficking to join us for a separate, holistic wellness retreat we will host.

If you’re interested in giving back with your travel, email us at [email protected] or visit the link below for more info. Payment plans are as low as $115/month!

Join us for this faith-based adventure retreat in Puerto Rico! This trip is for the woman who feels like her faith has grown stagnant, or the woman who wants to learn how to experience God in new ways that speak to her soul. If you’ve been looking for new ways to connect to the Creator of the univ...

GUYS! You have blown us away. We only have $780 left of our $5,000 matching grant to raise. We have until 11:59 p.m. TONIGHT to raise the rest of this. Would you help us reach our goal so that no money is left on the table? We’ve got a plan for every penny, and we need your help. You will allow us to renovate Winnie, our 1981 Volkswagen Vanagon, into the outreach space we need. We can’t do this without you! Every gift is doubled until midnight, and every $50 gift will receive a free sticker pack from us. Let’s do this! 🤙

Thank you, West Michigan Woman, for the opportunity to share our story! Check out their feature on our new endeavors and how we use the great outdoors as a healing mechanism for women across Michigan. 🎉

In 2013, Brittany Jacobson, founder, Freedom Paddle Company, attended a conference in Chicago on human trafficking with her sister-in-law.
