Collected Workshops
What if every person in your community was free from offense and distractions?
Forgiveness, healing, honor, worship, mission, and healthy relationships would flourish.
What if each one came to know exactly who they are in Christ and began walking in their unique Kingdom purpose?
Ministries and businesses that cultivate the Kingdom of Heaven on earth would abound. Leaders would rise up to take their place. The bored and dissatisfied would find meaning in a life lived for something greater than themselves. The uninspired would connect with their creative nature. The stuck would become free to move and those who were already moving would pick up the pace!
Collected Workshops + Retreats are designed to help believers lay down distractions and frustrations so they can discover their true identity and walk in their unique purpose as Kingdom cultivators.
When you book an event with Collected, our team comes to your location with a carefully crafted one- to three-day experience that will trigger health and wholeness in the members of your community or organization. A careful balance of planning + intuitive space for God to breathe will leave your entire group transformed. Keep reading and fill out the form below for all the details.
Collected workshops are centered on worship, restorative creativity, and designated time for reflection, evaluation, and setting intentions. We help you set up a safe environment for your people to practice low-stakes creative risk-taking that will give them the grit and courage to embrace their gifting and step further into their calling.
We recognize that maturity and healthy relationships begin with owning the Truth of who God is and how He lovingly created, rescued, and raised us up with Christ. Our goal is to bring solidify that Truth in the heart of every participant through worship, exploration, and practical application. Like you, we want to see Believers become activated in their faith as they lay down distractions and frustrations so they can truly know God’s great love for them and understand their identity as sons and daughters of the King.
Hosting a Collected Workshop or Retreat gives you the opportunity to provide an empowering space for your people, where they can step into new experiences, whether boldly or timidly, and see an increase their risk tolerance that will build their courage to obey God.
We would be honored to help you + your community discover what it means to be Collected.
