A women’s retreat is a great way to build intimate connections, with God and with each other. A well-planned and executed retreat gives the women a lasting experience that will go on in defining their lives. Carefully choosing a theme will help you stay in line with the purpose of the retreat when planning a women’s retreat. However, the possibilities are endless and sometimes, it is difficult to get your creative juices flowing. To help you get started, we have included a few guidelines to observe while you make your choice.
Women’s Retreat Themes: Resources
Choosing a theme that captures the purpose of the retreat is a great place to start. To get your creative juices flowing, I’d recommend that you:
- Write down the purpose of the retreat, whom it is targeted to and what aim you’d like to achieve in the lives of the attendees. For instance, your target audience for the retreat could be women who are struggling with Self-worth. The women’s retreat theme has to be tied to the audience and their healing.
- Your choice of women’s retreat theme should be warm and welcoming to anyone who sees it and not off-putting. It shouldn’t emphasize more on their problem, rather it should be the solution.
- Skits can be an entertaining way to reinforce your women’s retreat theme idea. Watching some related skits that throw more light on the purpose of the retreat can help you come up with a great theme.
- You could also read related ministry resources. This will help you create amazing themes related to the retreat.
- Choose themes based on relevant challenges women face in everyday life.
- Involve your pastor, team member and other women who have experience on coming up with women retreat themes. If you have someone around you who is gifted at copywriting, that will be of great advantage to you and your team.
Your Women’s Retreat Themes could be based on:
- Specific Bible Verse that is relevant to the idea behind the retreat
- A Specific song lyrics or title that captures the message. Using a song title as a retreat theme gives your event a memorable anthem.
