Teacher Reveal and Giveaway...

We’ve been keeping a secret for a while now, and we are SO excited to finally reveal who will be joining us next summer at our Art & Faith Creative Retreat in Bellagio, Italy!

You probably already know her… she is one talented lady… and she’s been sharing her talents and heart with us on social media for years now. She just finished her first book, “Seeing God in the Sweet Ordinary” and she’s also starting to host events in her beautiful new barn in Tennessee!

Have you figured it out yet??

This beautiful ladies name is Becky Strahle, but you may know her as Farmgirl Paints!

She is such a joy and I know you are going to LOVE what she is going to teach with us next summer… in Italy! I’m so excited to have her come alongside me as we share our love of Art & Faith during this retreat. Our theme for next year is “Found Faithful” and it’s going to be a really special time to connect with other women, to enjoy Italy and its beauty, and to share how we can encourage each other to be “found faithful” in these days we’re living in.

Here’s a little bio about Becky: “Artist, entrepreneur, and writer Becky Strahle is the owner of Farmgirl Paints, her online shop where she sells her custom-made jewelry, paintings, and other art creations. In 2022, Becky released her first art-filled devotional book "Seeing God in the Sweet Ordinary." She lives near Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband and two daughters.”

Isn’t her art studio dreamy?? Becky’s heart for Jesus is so real and lovely to witness, I know you’re going to be blessed next summer if you feel lead to join us. The retreat is June 3 - 10, 2023 in Bellagio, Italy and you can register for this week-long event on our Creative Retreats page right HERE.

We always pray for the Lord to bring the women who He wants to be there, and it’s amazing to see how He puts that on the hearts of each woman that joins us. So we hope if you feel lead to come, that you would prayerfully consider joining us next June on the shores of Lake Como, Italy.
