One of the beautiful things about the Survivors Thriving and Writing Retreats is witnessing moments where women allow Truth to replace the lies they have believed about themselves.

Trauma has told them they aren’t good enough, they aren’t lovable, they aren’t valuable.

In the safe, loving environment cultivated at these retreats, the truth of who they truly are seeps into their souls through the intentional activities that are planned.

They leave with the realization that they are chosen, loved and worthy of belonging. They leave transformed.

The Beloved Initiative is overjoyed to announce our first ever business supporter — ❤️
We cannot THANK Annie (founder and owner of Blush) and her team enough for understanding the value in the healing and redemptive work we do with survivors.

Behind every successful Survivors Thriving & Writing event is our volunteer She tirelessly plans the retreat & seeks sponsorships to make the retreat affordable yet beautiful for each woman who attends.
The boots on the ground, healing, & redemptive work we do would not be possible without the sacrifice & time given by Erin! And this time around she did it VERY PREGNANT! Super mom much?!
If you’ve attended one of our retreats would you drop a thank you for our BOSS LADY, Erin?! 😍 👇🏽

A testimony from the lovely

“Bailing weeping and balling my eyes out as I type all of this. . . .
•
I will not be silenced. I will let my story and the things that have happened to me be apart of inspiring and encouraging others to keep going!
•
Three months ago I encountered one of the worst days of my life. I attempted su***de and was 90% successful. I didn’t do it for attention. I didn’t do it for people to assume the worst. I want to end my life because I was hurting, I was sad, people were okay with how they were treating me, no one would fight for what was right because of “popularity”, and I had no fight left in me. And at that point I was just D O N E.
•
But God wasn’t ‼️‼️ My Heavenly Father wasn’t D O N E. He had so much more for me. He (and my dear sweet friend who found me and helped me, and the EMT, fire fighters) knew it wasn’t my time yet. He fought to keep me alive, He fought to make sure I woke up and could walk again to share the gospel but also share the TRUTHS without being silenced.
•
This past weekend I was able to attend the Survivors Thriving & Writers with those I didn’t even know. But God used each and every one of them to bring me Hope when I felt like I couldn’t keep going, Love when I felt I was unlovable, and a reminder that I am God’s BELOVED, what happened to me is valid and NOT my fault. These ladies and speakers helped me, without even knowing, find my voice again, find my passion again, and find MILIZHIA again.
•
This weekend was a CLEAR definition of God giving beauty for Ashes, YEA THAT’S WHAT HE DO!
•
I can not tell you ladies how much I LOVE AND APPRECIATE you. THANK you for being my chosen family and friends 🥹🫶🏾❤️!
•
Let this be your reason to speak your truth and fight for YOU!! This is NOT the end but the beginning of a NEW chapter.”

A survivor who attended the retreat this weekend left saying, “We went from a group of strangers to family. I don’t know what is next but I know I have an army.”
Because it’s never just about sharing a story. It’s about belonging. It’s about each other. 💛
