Faithful Followers is in its 9th year of ministry, with retreats for women now in their 8th year. Maria Figueroa and Nancy Varney share the interesting story of how the women’s retreats came about — but what matters most is their conviction that every woman needs rest, time in the spirit, and time to seek God. That is exactly what the Faithful Followers Women’s Retreats provide.
Faithful Followers Women’s Retreat — May 15–17, 2026. General admission for the weekend is just $175.00 and includes all meals, bunk-style bed, bedding, and all sessions. Location: Lake Placid Retreat and Conference Center, 2665 Placid View Dr, Lake Placid, FL 33852. Click here to register.
There is a quiet kind of holiness that visits us only when we slow down. Join us for a gentle weekend thoughtfully curated for the hurried woman who is seeking Sabbath. Through scripture-centered teachings, restorative worship, and guided times of stillness, we will help you trade the world’s busyness for quiet reflection — calming your mind and reconnecting you with who you are. Expect spiritually-centered workshops on simple practices that reconnect you to the rhythms of rest, with plenty of unstructured time to walk, journal, or simply be held in prayer.
“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.” All women are invited to attend. Contact Faithful Followers at foundationsforall.org, also on Facebook and Instagram.
