“Back to Me” Mental Retreat was focused on mental and spiritual health. I recognized the need for a mental reset and regroup because of well… LIFE. I knew that I had a lot built up inside that I would just pass off by consuming myself in other things, mainly work. I believe that God placed this opportunity in front of me right on time! The experience over those 4 days was nothing short of AMAZING! The knowledge and tools set before me, the testimonies, and the Breakthroughs that occurred are beyond explanation Being in the beautiful space and amongst such beautiful souls really helped me to refocus and realize the power I truly have. I wanted to take a moment to thank Minister Nicole Atkinson for hosting such a wonderful event. She really loves God and has so many precious gifts that could only come from Him. Her knowledge, her heart, and her passion for educating others was evident and on point throughout the entire event. The “Back to Me” Mental Wellness retreat is something I’ll never forget, and I am grateful for the new friendships made. I can say that I am applying what I’ve learned at this event into my life and never felt “FREER”. Thank you, God, and thank you Nicole for walking out the vision.

You beautiful ladies will always have a special place in my heart. I will never forget the breakthrough I experienced with you all. I am so grateful I came. Since coming I was able to release some things that were holding me back from being the women, mother, and wife that I want to be. I am grateful I can leave empty from baggage, negative thoughts, and things that were weighing me down that I didn’t know how to unpack. But through our group activities, our sessions, our bible studies, meditations, I was able to let things go that I needed to release. I know I would not have been able to do that without the support of a community of women like myself. I am so grateful. I had a wonderful time. Things are different now.

This trip truly incorporated holistic healing. Not only did we build our spirit-man we also had fun exploring the beautiful country. We met wonderful people and experienced astonishing excursions. Boy I felt powerful, at first, I was scared. I allowed myself to be vulnerable. That is what this trip was all about being vulnerable. This allowed me to have a breakthrough. I talked about things I thought I would never talk about in front of a group of people. I felt safe to finally express my deepest apprehensions. I felt safe, I felt the presence of Jesus.

I am so grateful I got to be a part of “Back to Me” retreat. It was an honor to be here. It was great to be transformed from the things I came in here with. I am leaving here full with confidence, relaxed, calm, energized, to return home and back into the community to do great things. I just want to thank Nicole Atkinson for being obedient to God and to the vision that God birthed in you. I’m praying this is only the beginning of great things.
