A weekend for every woman who needs more than a cliché.
A Faith-Based Retreat for Women
WHY THIS WEEKEND
You were made for more than just surviving the storm.
Life asks a lot of you. It asks you to keep showing up — for your family, your work, your church, your community — even when you’re running on empty. It asks you to hold on, stay strong, press forward. But we seldom talk about how.
STAYING POWER is a weekend built around the one word that holds everything together: Stay. Stay in the boat when the waves get high. Stay on the path when it narrows. Stay the course when the plan makes no sense. Stay tuned in when everything feels like static.
Through four powerful sessions with Tracy Ganson, real fellowship with women who get it, and the restorative beauty of Silver Hills, you’ll leave this weekend anchored — not just inspired, but equipped. You were made for more than just surviving the storm. You were made to stay.

Your Speaker
Tracy Ganson
Tracy brings decades of experience in faith, education, and walking alongside women in their spiritual journeys. A graduate of the University of Alberta with a career spanning corporate training (IBM, CGI), high school Religious Studies, and higher education administration at Burman University, she’s held roles from Dean of Residence to Chaplain — always with a heart for spiritual life and pastoral care.
Originally from Alberta, Tracy now lives in Vancouver, WA, with her husband of 30 years, Clayton, and their Dachshund Henry — who, she’ll tell you, now runs the house. Their two adult children, Luke and Lauren, are building lives of their own (Luke is getting married this fall!).
Tracy speaks with warmth, honesty, and the kind of joy that comes from someone who has walked through the hard seasons, the uncertain paths, and the plans that didn’t make sense. She’s not here to preach at you. She’s here to sit with you.
THE PLACE
Silver Hills Wellness Centre
Lumby, British Columbia · In the heart of the North Okanagan
Nestled in British Columbia’s North Okanagan, Silver Hills is more than a venue — it’s an experience. Known for its peaceful mountain setting, gourmet plant-based cuisine, nature trails, and restorative atmosphere, Silver Hills has been caring for guests since 1984.
This is not a hotel conference room. This is a place where your only job is to breathe, be fed (body and soul), and be present. The kind of place where you forget to check your phone — and don’t miss it.
Everything you need. See more options on the registration form.

Questions You Might Have
Every woman. Whether you’ve been in church your whole life or you’re just curious about faith, you’re welcome here. This isn’t an insiders-only event — it’s an invitation to every woman who needs a weekend to breathe, connect, and be reminded that she was built to last. Young professionals, mothers, empty nesters, students — all are welcome.
Comfortable clothing for the weekend (layers are smart — BC mountain mornings can be cool), walking shoes for the trails, a Bible or journal if you’d like, and an open heart. Bedding and towels are provided, if you are reserving the guesthouse package. Everything else — meals, and programming — is taken care of.
Silver Hills specializes in gourmet plant-based cuisine prepared with organic, quality ingredients. All meals are naturally vegan, and gluten-free options are available. If you are gluten-free, let us know at registration and the kitchen team will take care of you.
Absolutely. During registration, you can indicate your roommate preference.
Your seat is waiting.
This is the weekend you’ll look back on and say, “I’m so glad I stayed.” Don’t let it pass.
