Hearts of Beauty Ohio

Event Details

Quiet Times

The most important time we will spend at this retreat is the time we spend in quiet.

Our phones have a way of intruding upon the most important things in life. You will be strongly encouraged to tuck your cell phone away for the duration of the retreat. You will even be given an opportunity to allow us to keep it for you during your stay. You have a special appointment!

There is very little cell phone reception at this site. Upon registration, you will be given an emergency number to share with friends and family. You may wish to bring a watch, alarm clock, camera, and physical Bible if you are used to using your cell phone for those functions.

Adventure Activities

Optional activities may include hiking, basketball, canoeing, frisbee golf, axe throwing, archery, sand volleyball, zip-lining, gaga ball, knocker ball, swimming, shooting, and creek walk.

​For some, just being away from their cell phone, laptop, TV, children, hubby, and work will be quite an
adventure by itself!

​(You will be given an opportunity to purchase certain adventure activity tickets during registration.  Please note that some of these activities require closed-toed shoes.)

Important Audience Note

Due to the intimate and personal nature of the content, this experience should not generally be viewed as a mother/daughter event.  You may wish to attend different events, at least for each of your first experiences of the retreat.  You are permitted to attend together if you choose, but it is not recommended.

This experience is designed for adult women.  You must have completed high school or be at least eighteen years of age to attend.

Unfortunately, this event is not designed to offer childcare, and we are not able to provide space for nursing moms to bring their infants.

Special Dietary Needs

Do you have any food restrictions? We are only able to accommodate for nuts, dairy, and gluten. We can also offer vegetarian options. If you have additional questions about your food restrictions, please contact Betsy at: betsyfagen@gmail.com

We have designed something far more than a retreat—it’s an expedition of the heart. The women attending will never be the same.
