Healing The Root of My Wounds

I was very insecure, unhappy, feeling hopeless, misunderstood, and hurt. I was also struggling with some important relationships. I tried counseling, but that didn’t seem to be helping where I needed. When I heard about the Transform Weekend, I decided to sign up. The Transform weekend was appropriately named…TRANSFORM, because that is exactly what it did for me, radically! This powerful and amazing change has improved every area, thought, and moment of my life… healing the root of my wounds. I am full of joy, peace, and confidence. It’s also given me the tools to know how to process problems or challenges that surface. I cannot recommend attending this enough! I encourage you to give yourself the amazing gift of transformation. It has changed my life!

If you feel stuck in your emotions or thought process, please attend. This will help identify the lies and replace them with the truths you need to hold onto. I’m different because I attended the Transform Weekend!

Life moves along quickly. Often we’re yearning to push the pause button, but simply don’t know how to make that happen. We long to pause, ponder, explore, understand, and push the reset button in so many ways.

Instead of wishing you could do that, we’ve created a weekend for you to actually do that.

This unique, intimate, 3-day workshop will empower you to understand why you do what you do and how to change the thinking and habits that have kept you stuck for too long.

The weekend is designed for individuals who want to bring their best selves to the life they’ve been given and the relationships that mean the most to them.

This experience is for you if:

You’re in a new season of life and finding it disorienting for you. You’re in need of something to jump-start or deepen your connection with God and tune into what’s going on inside of you.
You’re feeling overwhelmed and discontent in life, but don’t know why. You’d like to return home with a new understanding of yourself.
You want to break out of unhealthy patterns that keep you stuck and frustrated. You’re ready to think differently and find freedom in one or more areas of your life.
You’re single and want a safe space where you can focus on personal and spiritual growth. You’d love to meet some like-minded folks who value transformation too!
You’re married, but your spouse would never want to do any type of personal or relational work. You’d like to learn more about yourself and how you can experience personal transformation that benefits your marriage and other relationships as well.
You’re married, and you and your spouse both want to learn more about yourselves and how you can experience personal transformation that benefits your marriage and other relationships as well. (Couples register individually for the weekend.)

Who is the Transform Weekend for?

The Transform Weekend is a faith based, personal growth weekend for individuals–both men and women– who are ready for positive change in their lives. This is for those who are single, divorced, or widowed. It’s also for married individuals who are on their own personal growth journey and want to take this weekend to work on themselves or those who would like to do some personal growth work even though their spouse isn’t interested in doing the same.

We have a college-aged child who we'd love to send to the Transform weekend. Would this be appropriate for them?

Yes! Anyone age 18 or older who desires to better understand themselves and explore how to bring their best self to the life they’ve been given may come. If you’re going to give this as a gift to a friend or an adult child, we just ask you to just make sure they value taking the time for personal growth.

Is the Individual Weekend ok for couples to attend?

Yes! The focus will be on personal growth, but couples are welcome to attend. Even though you’ll be exploring the weekend as an individual, you’ll be able to share with each other as you grow in self-awareness and better understanding why you do what you do. You’ll also be able to encourage each other after you return home.

I'm seeing a counselor. Would this be appropriate for me?

Yes! The Transform Weekend would be a wonderful addition to counseling. You’ll be able to return to your counseling sessions with much to process and talk more about! If you’re working through deep trauma in counseling, just make sure you’re far enough along that a personal growth weekend would be helpful and not triggering in any way.

When does the weekend begin and end?

The October Transform Weekend begins Friday, October 24, at 4:30pm and ends Sunday, October 26, at 1:30pm.

Where does the Transform Weekend take place?

The Transform Weekend is happening at our quiet country home in Normal, IL. Overnight accommodations are available at the Comfort Suites Hotel, just three miles from our home. A special rate and room block is available for rooms.

I'm flying in. Do I need to rent a car?

No, you would not need to rent a car if you’re flying into the Bloomington-Normal Airport (BMI). We will be providing all airport and hotel transportation between the BMI airport and the Comfort Suites Hotel. We’ll also be providing transportation between our home and the Comfort Suites Hotel for all the sessions.

Will I be responsible for meals on the weekend?

No, with the exception of breakfast which is available at the hotel, all meals are provided at our home for the weekend.

I have food restrictions and allergies. Can you accommodate those?

We are happy to accommodate food allergies, sensitivities, and restrictions.

What kinds of topics will be discussed at the weekend?

We’ll be digging into attachment styles, understanding grief, people pleasing, boundaries, self-care, dealing with overwhelm, and untangling thinking that’s keeping you stuck. You’ll return home with freedom, confidence, clarity, hope, peace, and joy. You’ll also return home equipped with tools to keep you in an emotionally healthy place.

How many people can attend?

The weekend is limited to eight individuals. This small group setting allows you to have a mix of personal attention while having the opportunity to also learn from other growth-minded individuals.

Is there any follow up after the weekend?

Every individual that attends gets one follow up coaching session with Mark and I. Those will take place 4-6 weeks after the weekend.

I live locally. Is there a discount on the registration?

The hotel cost is in addition to the registration cost. So if you live locally you are welcome to stay in your home rather than the hotel but there is no difference in the registration cost. The only thing we suggest is that you have the opportunity to go back to a quiet place as you will have some work to do and you need to do that without distraction.

Is there a deadline for registration?

Registration for the October Transform Weekend is available until Friday, Oct 17 or until spots are full…whichever comes first. Hotel blocks with special pricing ($124/night) is only available up until two weeks before the event.

What is the cost of the Transform Weekend?

The investment is $1250 for the three days of sessions. All meals, the attendee workbook, and all resources for the weekend are included. Transportation from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel to our home is also included. Each attendee will have a follow up coaching session after the weekend and will also return home with a book of their choice (several titles will be available) to keep themselves moving forward and growing. (A six month payment plan is available for the October weekend if you register in May 2025.)
