Bloom RESTORE Executive Retreats on the Oregon Coast!
(Exclusively for pregnancy center ED/CEO’s)
May 13-17, 2024 (full)
Here’s your opportunity to spend time with women who intimately understand you!
(Read the words of other ED/CEO’s who have attended below.)
Your job as a pregnancy center leader keeps you going non-stop. When is the last time you got away for rest - not just any rest - but the deepest of SOUL rest? Not only will you meet pregnancy center leaders from across the country, but you will re-connect with your Lord and King. As a life and leadership coach who walked in your shoes for 23 years, I will be right there to guide you to the rest you so desperately need!
Imagine heading back to work after 4 incredible nights, walks on the beach by the majestic Pacific Ocean, laughter and prayer with friends, time alone to think and hear from the Lord, and drinking deeply from the well of Living Water

“This retreat was the best I have ever had. It was the right mix of spiritual guidance from Robin and personal time with the Lord. The fellowship, prayer and laughter with the other ED’s was a beautiful experience. I am grateful for new relationships that were formed. The ocean view, sound and waves were absolutely spectacular. I came tired and a little weary, in need of rest, relaxation and rejuvenation. God met me there and replenished me.

The Bloom RESTORE Retreat with Robin was a refreshing time during which the weight of the mantle we carry was set aside - providing the time to objectively consider the lens with which we view ourselves, each other, our ministry, our work/home balance, our care of self, and so much more. In this space of intentional silence, God will speak something new, reveal something previously unseen, draw us in to closer relationship with Him, or provide much needed rest and reflection! Beth Sheets, The Pregnancy Center, Medford, Oregon
It is obvious that God is holding Robin in his hands as she puts this retreat together for the Directors. There is a true sense of healing that happens when Robin "removes our mantles" and releases us to God to receive what it is we need from Him. Things that I didn't even know I needed. My Board of Directors noticed the positive change in me. They put the cost in the budget for me to attend again! But, if they hadn't I would have paid it myself. It's just that good for me. Nicki Kroese – Idaho
If you're worn out and just need some time to get away with your Creator in a beautiful setting, this is a great opportunity. You get to take off the myriad of hats you wear and have uninterrupted time for personal reflection. Anonymous
This retreat will force you to rest your mind. To have complete solitude and focus on your alone time with the Lord. Monica Gonzales, Texas
Being an ED can be a lonely role - but you aren't alone. Don't miss the opportunity to come away with other EDs and be refreshed. This is a sweet way to connect but even more valuable is the time to be quiet with our Lord as you work through assignments to help you assess how you are doing personally, spiritually and as a leader. Easy beach access allowed for long, beautiful walks. Great food, hot tub, laughter and games were a bonus. Gayla White, Oklahoma
This retreat provides a quality balance of rest, rejuvenation, encouragement and introspection. There’s nothing like sisterhood based on the common ground of Christ’s grace. Highly recommend. Teri Cline, Pregnancy Hope Center, Klamath Falls, Oregon
If you are feeling hard pressed, tired or just want a resource to intentionally stop and receive from the Lord, this is an amazing opportunity to do so. You will not regret making this investment. Becky Peters, ABC Life Choices, Kenai, Alaska
RESTORE is such a great name for this time Robin offers to Executive Leadership. The time with the Lord, the time for rest, the time for reflection, all are essentials that few of us do for ourselves. I look forward to this dedicated time each year and will continue to come as long as I receive an invitation to do so. I always leave coming with so much more than what I expect, because our Lord is waiting for me to give Him the time for me to listen. The RESTORE retreat offers the time and place for that intimate time with HIM. Carolyn Cline – Texas
Highly recommend finding room in your busy ED life for this retreat! You will leave refreshed, encouraged and ready to implement the things you have learned. The friendships formed with other EDs from around the US was also an unexpected bonus. Robin is an excellent coach with tried and true methods to strengthen you and your ministry! Sherry Trombley – Michigan
As EDs we don't take time for self-care, we become depleted, and where and to whom do we go? What Bloom and Robin have created here specifically for EDs is incredible. and it is my belief that every single ED if they will have longevity in the ministry they love is to get to one of Blooms Leadership Retreats. It's the best thing the Board can do for you and the best thing you can do for yourself. I have been two times and both I came back revived and focused ready to go to the next level. Vikki Parker, Arkansas
Restoration is truly a take away with Robin's retreat. Being honored for the challenging work that we do, in a deeply nourishing and restful environment is extremely valuable. I did not realize how much I needed this. Anonymous
Every board needs to consider Director care as an ongoing practice. It will probably be up to the Directors to educate their boards in this need. River Sussman, Washington
I came to this retreat battle-weary and left refreshed and strengthened. The accommodations were beautiful, the food was delicious, and I was surrounded by amazing sisters in Christ. Anonymous
Entering into a new season of life and a big transition ahead, this retreat was just what I needed... time with the Lord to hear His heart separate from daily routines and activities. I loved the freedom Robin gave us to be. It was great to meet and get to know other ED's I've never meant before. Anonymous
