Behold Retreat 2023 & 2024
Testimonies from Dance Educators!
"Barbs wonderfully organized a retreat that was the perfect amount of worship, community, and fun! Her obvious passion for Jesus and her fellow dance educators created a safe environment where we all felt free to be ourselves, and were willing to be open to what God wanted us to receive. 10/10." - Madeline Bernard (Bridgeland HS)
"This retreat was exactly what I needed going into a new year of teaching. The community of sisters that came together formed bonds that maybe would not have happened if we did not attend. My mind, body and soul were on fire for Christ as I left. Everything was super smooth and stress free. The grounds were beautiful and perfect for the size of our group. The perfect way to start the year."- Kelsey Baskin (Victoria West HS)
"I loved attending Behold!! It was a place/weekend to be still and reflect on the goodness of the Lord, all while being surrounded by my friends, old and new. Behold, while just a short weekend, was packed full of worship, sermons, fun and fellowship that shined the light of the Lord. Everyone involved in hosting Behold and everyone who attended was kind, loving and encouraging. Opening up during small groups always felt safe and became easier as the weekend progressed. My cup was overflowing at the conclusion of Behold and I left feeling closer to my friends and most importantly the Lord! I would recommend attending Behold a million times over and can’t want for summer 2024!!" -Baleigh Simmons (McNeil HS)
"Behold was incredible!! I did not know what to expect before I arrived, but behold surpassed my expectations. Barbs and her team kept Jesus at the center of this retreat. His presence was evident and it was so comforting. We were put into small groups and it was amazing to see how open everyone was. The Behold environment was comforting which made it easy to share. Everyone was so supportive of one another." - Kathryn Prather (Grand Oaks HS)
"The Behold Retreat was a remarkable experience that I will never forget. It was a beautiful venue, the food was amazing, and I felt so much love and support from everyone there. I truly enjoyed getting in small groups to get to know some of my fellow dance educators in a different light since we don't get the opportunity to really talk about our faith. It was the perfect combination of fun and worship. The whole retreat was extremely well thought out, and I appreciate all the work that went into making the experience memorable for everyone involved. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone who is interested in attending." -Hannah Gassett (Grand Oaks HS)
"This retreat was the perfect way for me to unwind, reset, and mentally prepare my heart and mind for the upcoming school year. It was a refreshing time to be around fellow dance teachers/directors and focus on God together and not focus solely on all of our to-do lists. My most memorable part from this experience was receiving letters from my loved ones. Behold 2023 is an experience I will never forget. It found me when I was struggling with my role and purpose. I am forever grateful for the guidance and support I found through the amazing women at this retreat!"-Shelby Carney (Lake Belton HS)
Behold truly was an incredible year altering event! Being able to connect not only with people in the Dance World, but people who have the ultimate goal of bringing glory to Christ in every aspect of their life was an indescribable experience. Thank you to the amazing people that made this happen! I will definitely be attending again and telling everyone I know!" -Tiffany Boehler
