Awake My Soul
women's retreat
About
Some of my favorite memories growing up were watching my Meemaw dance the jitterbug in her living room. There was a joy and a freedom in her that was so bright you could feel the Father's delight in the room. Many of us spend days, weeks, years of our lives in routines where we forget what it is like to dwell in His delight. Inside we are longing to laugh and dance... to create and connect. But we push it to the back of our minds. For three days we will go back to the beginning with Him and be reminded how He really LOVES to be with us. We will create, learn, gather, eat together, laugh, worship and just remember what it is to be a child of God amongst new friends. And we get to do all of this at Camp... a space that sparks joy through bonfires and twinkle lights, that whispers "sisterhood" under the stars on the dock. This is our space to just be His girls together.

Me
My name is Lauren Wagoner and I am the Camp Director at Camp Glow. I have adventured in buckets of ways the past 40 years. I am a wife to my bestest friend and a homeschooling mom to 5 children that are my rays of joy. My husband and I have served churches in a pastoral role for 12 years before coming to The Glow Mission as camp directors. For most of my "adult" life I have been a photographer and a BIG lover of people. As a photographer I would host retreats for creatives around the country and always loved watching talented women connect and be inspired together. I won't share all of my story here but I can say in my 40 years I have had to walk through so many valleys and learn how to heal from years of wounds. There were moments of darkness- when I could not dance, I felt as if every day was a crawl.
8 years ago I gave my life fully to Jesus and felt my feet dance in freedom for the first time. He taught me how to take a life of hurt and choose His JOY. I felt Him stirring me to gather His girls yet again. This gathering combines the two things that I love: creativity and loving people, but now it is pointing people to Him as my source. There is a giddiness in the air about this because I feel how excited He is for us to meet and grow together.
​
AS A SIDE NOTE, I had some pretty terrible camp experiences growing up- memories that involved a concrete water slide and a pretty embarrassing cut- yikes. THIS RETREAT IS REDEMPTION! I can feel my little girl heart cheering myself on. Make a new camp memory!! You may be a camp pro or this may be your very first camp experience... whichever it is, there is space around the campfire for you.
