Ways to Love On Our Ladies
You make this possible.
This November 20 women will experience rest, connection, and hope in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia completely free of charge. Every single moment funded by generous hearts like yours.
Find your place below.
Two Retreats. Two Groups of Women Who Need You.
Both retreats share the same theme:
Strong Mind. Strong Body. Strong Spirit.
Donate to Our Wellness Station
At every Lumina of Hope retreat, we set up a special wellness station where our ladies get to slow down, breathe, and be fully pampered. These are women who spend every day pouring into others. This is their moment to receive.
We are hoping to build out our wellness station with the following items. All equipment is shared between participants and wiped clean between uses. Any donation of one or more of these items would be an incredible blessing.
Wellness Station Wishlist:
-
Red light therapy face mask (wearable, plug-in style)
-
Red light therapy panel or lamp for a station setup
-
Heated eye massager (Therabody SmartGoggles, Breo iSee4, or similar)
-
Foot massager machine
-
Vibration plate
-
Handheld percussion massager (Theragun Mini or similar)
-
Jade or rose quartz facial roller set
-
Gua sha tools
-
Aromatherapy diffuser and essential oils
-
Neck massager wrap or heating pad
Fill Our Gift Bags
Every woman who attends a Lumina of Hope retreat leaves with a gift bag filled with items to help her feel loved, seen, and cared for long after she returns home. We have 10 women per retreat and 20 women total across both retreats.
One of our greatest hopes is that every single woman leaves wrapped in a cozy blanket she can keep, something to snuggle up in on hard days and remember that she is loved, treasured, and worthy of rest.
Buying in bulk is a beautiful way to stretch your gift and bless all 20 women at once.
Gift Bag Wishlist:
-
Cozy blanket or electric throw blanket (our most requested item, one per woman, 20 total)
-
Silk pillowcase
-
Face mask and under-eye treatments
-
Hand mask and lotion
-
Cozy warm socks
-
Water bottle
-
Journal
-
Bible
-
Nail care kit
-
Toiletries
-
Self-care gift cards (nail salon, spa, or massage)
More Ways to Make a Difference
Gas Gift Cards
All of our participants carpool to the retreat. We have approximately 5 drivers per retreat and 10 drivers total across both retreats. A gas gift card for each driver is one of the most practical and heartfelt ways to help get these women there.
Grocery Gift Cards
Every retreat meal is fully gluten free and as clean and organic as possible. A $100 grocery gift card covers approximately one meal for the entire group. Any amount is so appreciated and goes directly toward feeding our ladies well.
Farewell Dinner Sponsorship
On the last evening of each retreat, we dream of treating our women to a beautiful dinner in downtown Blue Ridge. They get dressed up, celebrate together, and enjoy one final memory before heading home. This experience runs approximately $1,000 per retreat. If you have a connection in Blue Ridge or would like to help sponsor this experience fully or partially, it would be an extraordinary blessing.
Show Up and Serve
We are a 100% volunteer-run nonprofit and some of our greatest needs are simply people who are willing to show up and give their time. Here are the ways you can volunteer for one or both retreats:
Reset the House (November 6th — Our Biggest Need!)
Between the two retreats, we need volunteers at the cabin by 10:00 AM on November 6th to wash and remake all beds, wash and fold all towels, restock the fridge, and set up fresh snacks for the next group arriving November 9th. If you have a spouse, a friend, a small group, or a team who wants to come serve in a beautiful mountain setting, this is the day. A few hours of your time makes an enormous difference.
Prepare or Bring a Meal
Cook at the cabin, bring a prepared dish to warm up, or drop off a dish the day before. All food must be gluten-free and as clean and organic as possible. We need lunch and dinner help for both retreats.
Monetary Donation for a Catered Meal
Prefer to give financially toward a meal? A monetary donation to cover a catered lunch or dinner for the group is such a meaningful gift.
Treat the Ladies to a Meal Out
Want to do something extra special? Sponsor the ladies for a lunch or dinner out in beautiful downtown Blue Ridge.
Lead Worship
One of our greatest dreams for these retreats is a live worship moment. If you play guitar and feel called to sing over these women, we would love to hear from you. This would be so deeply meaningful and Spirit-filled.
Speaking Opportunity
If you have a message on your heart that aligns with our theme of Anchored in Strength: Strong Mind. Strong Body. Strong Spirit. and would like to speak for up to one hour at one of our retreats, we would love to connect with you. All speaking opportunities are subject to availability and theme alignment.
