Women's Connection Retreat

Please join us for the Women’s Connection Retreat at the beautiful Mustang Island Conference Center, September 18-21, 2025. We would love to see everyone come for three nights, but we know how busy our schedules can be, so you will have the option of staying only two nights, from Friday through Sunday. You will not miss any of the teaching or activities by coming on Friday. 

Here’s what you can expect:
1.   
Three teaching sessions with Ashley Cleveland. Ashley Cleveland is a career musician, speaker, author,
storyteller, spiritual director, and soul friend. Originally from Knoxville, Ashley has lived in middle Tennessee since
1984. During her musical career, she recorded 10 albums, won three Grammys and two Dove awards and continues to
perform and write songs occasionally. Ashley is the author of two books: "Little Black Sheep" and "Learning Burney,
A Map of My Mother and Me;" she is an active member of the 12step recovery community. Ashley has a certificate
in Franciscan spiritual direction and is finishing a second certificate in Ignatian direction. She and her husband
Kenny Greenberg have been married 34 years and have three adult children: Rebecca, Henry, and Lily.
Ashley currently serves as a pastoral associate and spiritual director at Church of the Redeemer in Nashville.
2.   Relaxing beach set up
3.   Amazing breakfasts, lunches, and dinners (if you choose the Friday option, we will expect you by dinnertime.)
4.   Fellowship and connection with women of all ages and stages of life
5.   Fun optional activities, including crafts, a bonfire, and a pajama party!
6.   Rest!
