2026 Prayer Retreats
We believe every woman is called to rise up in prayer — and also to rest in God’s presence. That’s why in 2026, we are offering two unique retreat experiences designed to meet women right where they are in their spiritual journey with Jesus.
- For the woman who feels a holy urgency stirring in her spirit… it’s time to rise up, put on your boots, and take your place on the frontlines of prayer.
- For the woman pastor, ministry leader, or shepherd who has been pouring out and longs to simply sit at the feet of Jesus… it’s time to rest, be refreshed, and receive.
Both retreats are anchored in the presence of God through worship, prayer, and fellowship — but each offers a different invitation: one calls you to battle, the other calls you to rest.
Which one is God calling you to in this season?

At Put On Your Boots, we’ll dive into the depths of intercession and grow in the spiritual discipline of prayer like never before.
Whether this is your first time or you have attended an extended prayer retreat in the past, this prayer retreat is for those who are wanting to grow their prayer life and deepen their relationship with God.

Women Pastors & Leaders Prayer Retreat
Do you take time for a yearly prayer retreat?
As Pastors and Leaders, it is important that we set time aside to sit at Jesus’ feet and listen to what God desires to speak to our hearts. For some, it is about refreshing; for others, it may be for direction. Whatever the reason, setting time aside to quiet our souls before God is vital to our faith.
Join us for a two-night prayer retreat where we will have group and personal prayer time, teaching sessions, worship, and fellowship.
We have two Prayer Retreats in 2026 for Women Pastors and Leaders. Both are unique with a specific focus. Our May 2026 Prayer Retreat theme is, Finding Rhythms of Grace. Our September 2026 Prayer Retreat theme is, Come to the Banqueting Table. (scroll down for more information)

It’s the perfect time to get away and seek God. Sometimes you need to get away from familiar surroundings and surrender all of you to the Lord. A prayer retreat will transform, energize spiritually, heal, encourage, replenish and help you go further in your walk with God.

~ Pastors & Leaders Prayer Retreat Participant
As Pastors and Leaders, it is important that we set time aside to sit at Jesus’ feet and listen to what God desires to speak to our hearts. For some, it is about refreshing; for others, it may be for direction. Whatever the reason, setting time aside to quiet our souls before God is vital to our faith.
Rest. Refresh. Receive.
As women in ministry, we often give and give until we’re running on empty. This retreat is not about leading, teaching, or pouring out — it’s about you being poured into. Jesus is inviting you to lay down the weight of leadership, sit at His feet, and simply be His daughter again.
Why You Should Be Here:
- 🌿 Rest in His Presence — Step away from ministry demands and find space to breathe.
- 💖 Be Renewed — Allow God to restore your vision, your strength, and your heart.
- 🙌 Worship Without Responsibility — No pressure to lead — just freedom to receive.
- 🤝 Safe Community — Connect with other pastors and leaders who understand the unique joys and struggles of ministry life.
- ✨ Leave Filled — Go home refreshed, recharged, and ready to continue your calling with peace and joy.
Invite a Sister in Ministry.
There is something powerful about leaders retreating together. Consider inviting a fellow pastor or leader you know who could use this same space of rest and renewal. Sometimes the best gift you can give another leader is the chance to sit still before the Lord.
👉 Jesus is waiting to meet you here. Will you come away with Him?
Ready to say YES? Get your name on our pre-registration form today! Our team will contact you first when registration opens for both our May 2026 and September 2026 prayer retreats.

💬 What Women Are Saying:
There’s nothing more powerful than hearing how God has moved in the lives of women who’ve stepped away to pray, worship, and rest in His presence. Here’s a glimpse of what women are saying after attending retreats like these:
“This prayer retreat brought revelation from the teaching times, healing during worship and a fresh intimate encounter with Jesus. It was so well planned and every detail considered. The Lord met me, brought deep healing and renewed passion for Him!” – Coni
“Our lives are so busy – so hurried. We carve out moments of each day to spend alone with God, but we need more. Being intentional about ‘coming away’ is what the Prayer Retreat offers and helps us to do. The time spent alone with God, hour upon hour, is something that is so valuable and worthwhile. – Cindy
“The prayer retreats provide space and time to pause, reflect, rest and reconnect with Holy Spirit. Kristin’s In depth teachings equip, challenge and strengthen. The portfolio provided with ideas for meeting with God outside our normal rhythm bring refreshing to the parched soul. Times of fellowship encourage new friendships and the opportunity to connect, these times of sharing meals together help us realize we are not alone. I have developed lasting friendships and a network of intercessors through these retreats. Ultimately the focus of hearing from God alone is this retreats greatest reward.” – Kristy
“From the moment I arrived, I felt the gentle invitation of the Holy Spirit to rest, reflect, and receive. Kristin’s leadership was Spirit-led and deeply nurturing. Her teaching sessions were rich with biblical insight and personal encouragement, guiding us to seek deeper intimacy with God. The rhythm of group prayer, personal reflection, worship, and fellowship created an atmosphere of healing and restoration. I especially appreciated the intentional structure—two nights of focused prayer, four nourishing meals, and a cozy room that felt like a sanctuary. If you’re a woman in ministry longing to be refreshed, refocused, and reminded of your calling, I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat. It’s not just an event—it’s an encounter.” ~ Pastors & Leaders Prayer Retreat Participant
Setting time aside to be alone with God is rewarding. I highly recommend and encourage all followers of Christ to get away and spend time seeking God at a prayer retreat. “Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” Mark 6:31 (NIV)
~ Pastors & Leaders Prayer Retreat Participant
When we choose to be yielded to the Holy Spirit, He will meet with you and give you rest and refreshment. That’s what you can get out of stepping away from daily life and stepping into a retreat filled with prayer and intentional intimacy with God. ~ Pastors & Leaders Prayer Retreat Participant
