Take a breath. Slow your pace. Create space for God to meet you.
Selah is an invitation to pause—an intentional day set apart for women to rest, reflect, and renew their souls in the presence of the Lord.

Join us for a beautiful, refreshing day designed to help you reconnect with God and exhale the weight you’ve been carrying. Through meaningful teaching, worship, conversation, and moments of quiet, you’ll experience a rhythm of rest that reminds your heart who God is and who you are in Him.

Whether you come with friends or come needing space alone, Selah offers a welcoming, peaceful environment created just for you.

You’re invited to step away from the noise, breathe deeply, and encounter the One who restores.
