GAL Women –
“Reset & Rise” Retreat
The Challenge:
Many women in rural communities face social conditioning, emotional fatigue, and limited exposure to personal development opportunities. Our client, HopeSpring Foundation, wanted a faith-aligned, emotional intelligence-based intervention to help their women’s cooperative rediscover purpose, resilience, and identity.
🎯 Our Solution:
We designed and facilitated a hybrid intervention:
- A 3-day “Reset & Rise”retreat with journaling, coaching, trauma-informed prayer sessions, and wellness workshops.
- Follow-up 6-week group coaching sessions held via WhatsApp and Zoom.
- Distribution of the GAL Journal: Identity & Impact Editionto all participants.
🌟 The Results:
- 97%of participants reported improved self-esteem and clarity about their life goals.
- 15 womenlaunched new small businesses within 2 months post-retreat.
- The Foundation reported increased cohesion and productivity in their women’s cooperative.
