The Shelter study is a 13-week, Christ-centered healing study designed for women ready to process past sexual abuse in a safe, confidential, and guided environment. You are not alone — and you do not have to heal alone.

  • A 13-week guided healing study

  • Confidential group setting

  • Christ-centered and trauma-informed

  • Designed for adult women ready to begin healing

  • Week 13 is a celebration and reflection gathering

This study provides structured content, Scripture, journaling, and discussion in a space that prioritizes safety and dignity.

What Is the Shelter Study?

Buy Your Box of Hope

To participate in this group, each member must purchase a Box of Hope in advance.

This carefully curated box includes:

  • Shelter From the Storm book

  • Companion workbook

  • Handcrafted journal

  • Weekly affirmation cards to help you memorize Scripture and truth statements

Cost: $50

Please note: If you choose to purchase the book and workbook separately on Amazon, you will not receive the journal or affirmation cards included in the Box of Hope.

This box is more than materials—it’s a tangible investment in your healing.

The Watering is a monthly gathering for women who desire continued encouragement, worship, and connection beyond the Shelter study.
