HEALING CARE MINISTRIES WOMEN’S WEEKEND - May 1-2, 2020 | Vista Community Church
LIVING UNVEILED:
Reclaiming the Wonder of YOU!

A women’s weekend to step out from behind the veil — and come home to who you are.

WHAT THIS WEEKEND IS ALL ABOUT
Many of us live “covered”—behind labels, expectations, perfectionism, performance, or shame. This weekend is a Spirit-led invitation to uncover what’s true, name what’s been hiding you, and practice releasing what no longer belongs—so you can live more fully known, loved, and free. When we say “the veil,” we mean all the ways we cover ourselves to manage shame, fear, or the ache of not feeling “enough”—trying to be perfect, controlling outcomes, managing appearances, people-pleasing, over-functioning… the list goes on. But here’s the thing; the veil may have helped us survive, yet it also keeps us from experiencing deep, intimate love and true connection to God, ourselves and others. This weekend is about lifting the covering—gently, bravely, together.
​
WHO THIS IS FOR
This weekend is for you if…
-
You’re tired of feeling like you have to hold it all together.
-
You feel “hidden” behind roles, striving, comparison, or shame.
-
You long to feel more connected to God and to others.
-
You want a space where vulnerability is welcomed—but never forced.
No matter your age or season—single, married, mother, daughter, grandmother, or sister—
this is for the woman who wants to reconnect with the woman you were made to be.
WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH
-
A clearer sense of who you are beneath the veils you've been wearing.
-
Language to identify the "veil" and the “intruder voice” that fuels hiding.
-
Greater compassion for your story: “This was survival… and I can release what I no longer need.”
-
A lived experience of safety and connection—with God and others.
-
Practical tools to help you keep living “unveiled” even after the weekend ends.
THE WEEKEND FLOW
We have created a spacious flow for our time together, allowing room to breathe and connect.
Friday Evening | Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
Our time begins at 6:00 p.m. as we enter into worship and lay the foundation for our journey. We will have light snacks available, but please plan to eat dinner before you arrive. We wrap up at 9:00 p.m.
Saturday | 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
The day is a rhythmic blend of:
-
Deep Teaching: Anchoring ourselves in identity and truth.
-
Experiential Moments: Moving beyond head knowledge into a lived encounter with God.
-
Space to Process: Dedicated time for personal reflection, journaling, and small group connection.
Lunch & Connection:
We break for lunch on our own. Use this time to grab a bite at a local restaurant, enjoy some fresh air, or connect with a friend. We’ll reconvene in the afternoon to finish our time with a powerful symbolic exchange and a commissioning blessing.
