Janae
Bower, retreat founder, started the retreat in 2003 to release her
award-winning book The Little Girl Who Found IT: A Story of Heart
and Hope. Eighty girls of all ages (5 to 95) attended the first
sold-out retreat. Following the retreat, these inspired women referred
to the retreat as the best day of inspiration around and encouraged
Janae to make this an annual event. Janae and a committee volunteer
their time each year to plan and host the retreat.
