In 1999, God touched the heart of our leader, Rev. Dr. Shari Herring, to hold retreats and meetings for women. In 2001, in an effort to follow God’s design to have free/low-cost retreats, and meetings, Shari started a management consulting company.  BUT, this was not her God-given purpose, so by the end of 2001, everything ended.

​

After many personal setbacks, stumbling blocks, and distractions, Inspiration Retreats was born early in 2008, exactly seven years later.  Throughout this time, God kept the desire to host retreats in Shari’s heart. God told her that the time was NOW to hold retreats. This held much significance for Dr. Shari, as the number seven represents completion and the number eight represents new beginnings. The past had been completed and now God had created a new beginning!

​

We pray that you participate in an upcoming retreat, God has designed each, so you will not be disappointed!
