Do you long to know the love of the Father more deeply?
Do you need to hear the Father heart of God whisper to you the depth of His love? Are you in need of being held in the Father’s embrace?
Would you welcome a time to rest, to be restored, and to be reminded that you are the beloved child of God?
Do you ache for space to simply be with Him — to sit at His feet, and let His love wash over you?
You are warmly invited to The Father’s Love — a Christian prayer retreat where women come aside to encounter the unfailing, healing, and tender love of God. This is a weekend to experience deeply the Father’s loving presence, to find rest in His embrace, and to be refreshed and renewed in your spirit.
Our time away is at Kanigan Mountain Retreat, just one hour north of Noosa and Nambour. Nestled on a peaceful mountain range overlooking the Mary River plains, this sacred space has been soaked in years of prayer and contemplation. It’s a place where women can step away from life’s noise and draw near to the Father’s heart.
Join us from midday Friday, 24th October 2025 to midday Sunday 26th October 2025, for a gentle yet powerful time of spiritual renewal.
Over three days, we will rest in the Father’s presence, engage in practices that open our hearts to His voice, worship together through music and nature, and delight in His joy and peace. There will be time for stillness, time for laughter, and time to receive the gift of community with other Christian women — fellow daughters of God who are on the journey with you.
Each part of the retreat is designed to help you receive the Father’s love more fully:
Through Scripture, we’ll hear the voice of our Father speaking tenderly to us.
Through contemplative practices, we’ll learn to rest in His arms and hear His whispers.
Through the Holy Spirit, our imaginations and hearts will be stirred to receive His truth and vision for our lives.
Through prayer, movement, and reflection, we’ll discover what it means to walk hand in hand with the One who calls us His own.
As you stand on the mountain, overlooking the beauty of creation, you will be reminded of your place in His story — seen, known, and deeply loved.
Your hosts are Gretchen Mitchell and Nicky Wyborn. Gretchen is a Christian Psychologist who has been in private practice for 22 years. She especially enjoys the intersection of faith and psychology and loves to see full healing when both are applied. She is passionate about making room for Jesus to speak directly to women’s hearts and is excited about this opportunity to walk with you into healing and transformation through the power of God’s love. Nicky has a deep passion for guiding women on their sacred and spiritual journeys. She has been involved in prayer ministry and intercession for many years and loves providing spaces where women can experience healing and transformation through reconnecting with the heart of God and finding strength and peace in Christ.
We will also be joined by the beautiful Jemima Jones who will be causing our tastebuds to sing with her delicious meals. Jemima has a real gift from God to feed and nurture both bodies and hearts and is a wise, thoughtful and compassionate woman of God.
This weekend will be bathed in prayer. Gretchen and Nicky are deeply committed to creating a safe, Spirit-led environment where you can encounter the Father’s love, rest in His care, and be renewed in your relationship with Him.
