Her guiding principle is cultivating sacred space in everyday life — an awareness of, honor for, and love for God that shapes how we engage with His creation, especially people.

Spaces are strictly limited to ensure an intimate and focused experience

I have attended at least three retreats taught by and facilitated by Dr. Claire Anneliese Smith. I find her teaching to be clear, logical, and theologically sound. I appreciate that despite a meticulously planned agenda and curriculum, she listens to the questions and life stories of all participants and weaves them into the theme of the conference.

I was truly blessed by all the love and kindness that was shown to me at the last retreat I attended. We had so much fun just talking and sharing our life experiences with one another. Claire had so many spot on inspirational stories and thoughts, I truly left feeling uplifted and blessed

Frequently Asked Questions & Policies

 

Is this retreat suitable for me?
This retreat is specifically designed for faith-centered female leaders and executives who feel the weight of leadership and desire to reconnect with their spiritual foundation.
Is the retreat open to all genders?
Yes. Not at this time. It is open to women who are faith-centered leaders and executives. However, we will be doing something for men soon. We welcome men and women who are seeking to deepen their connection with God and renew their leadership purpose.
How do I register?
Registration is simple and secure. Simply click the “Secure Your Spot” button on this page. You will be directed to a registration form where you can select your preferred pricing tier (based on the current date), enter your details, and complete your payment. You will receive a confirmation email immediately upon successful registration.
Can I attend only part of the retreat?
We recommend attending the full day (9:30 AM – 4:30 PM). The retreat is designed as an immersive experience where each segment builds upon the previous one to facilitate deep spiritual renewal and clarity. To get the most value from this sacred space, we ask that participants commit to the entire program.
What should I bring?

We suggest bringing:

  • A notebook and pen for reflection.
  • Your personal Bible or devotional materials.
  • Comfortable clothing suitable for a day of reflection and discussion.
  • An open heart and mind to reconnect with God and yourself.
Is there a dress code?
There is no strict dress code. We encourage you to wear comfortable, modest attire that allows you to feel at ease during prayer, discussion, and reflection.
Is parking available?
Yes, free parking is available on-site at Precious Blood (2120 St. Gaspar Way, Liberty, MO 64068). Please follow the signs to the main parking lot.
What accessibility accommodations are available?
We are committed to making this retreat accessible to all. Precious Blood has wheelchair-accessible entrances and restrooms. If you have specific accessibility needs or require accommodations, please contact us directly at [Insert Email/Phone Number] so we can ensure your comfort and participation.
What is the refund and/or transfer policy?

Because this is an intentionally small retreat and preparations for meals, materials, and space begin in advance, registrations are nonrefundable.

If an unexpected emergency prevents you from attending, please email contact@centerforfaithfulleadership.com at least 48 hours before the retreat. Whenever possible, we will gladly review requests to transfer your registration to a future Center for Faithful Leadership program within 12 months of the original retreat date. If you are unable to attend, you may transfer your registration to another participant by notifying us at least 48 hours before the retreat.

If the Center for Faithful Leadership must cancel the retreat, all registered participants will receive a full refund.

We want every participant to feel well cared for and will respond to transfer requests within five business days.

What happens if the retreat is canceled or rescheduled?
In the unlikely event that we must cancel or reschedule the retreat due to unforeseen circumstances, we will notify all registered participants as soon as possible. If the retreat is canceled, you will receive a full refund. If the retreat is rescheduled, your registration will automatically transfer to the new date, or you may choose a full refund if the new date does not work for you.
