WASHINGTON - s4story -- What began as one woman's journey through loss, uncertainty, separation, and personal transformation has evolved into a powerful movement designed to help other women rise above life's challenges.

Christian Relationship Coach, Amazon bestselling author, speaker, and founder of P. Hankins LLC, Pamela Hankins, will host the Week 40 Retreat on October 2–3, 2026, at Massanutten Resort in Virginia—the very place where a pivotal season of healing and renewal began nearly a decade ago.

Inspired by Isaiah 40:31, the retreat theme centers on the promise that those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength, rise above adversity, and soar into their next season with purpose and clarity.

For Pamela, Week 40 is more than an event—it is a testimony.

Nine years ago, during a season marked by the loss of her son's father, a marital separation, and the challenges of rebuilding life in a new city, Pamela attended a retreat at Massanutten Resort seeking answers, direction, and peace. It was there that God began a transformative work that would ultimately reshape her perspective, strengthen her faith, and prepare her for the calling she walks in today.

"Week 40 represents the place where God met me in my brokenness and showed me that my story was not over," said Hankins. "This retreat is for every woman who has ever felt stuck, weary, overlooked, or uncertain about what comes next. My prayer is that women leave knowing they are stronger, wiser, and more equipped to embrace the life God has prepared for them."

The Week 40 Retreat is designed for women seeking spiritual renewal, personal growth, emotional healing, and meaningful connection. Attendees will experience:

• Transformational speakers and faith-centered teaching
• Praise and worship experiences
• Guided journaling and reflection activities
• Personal development and leadership sessions
• Opportunities for fellowship and networking
• A restorative retreat environment designed to nurture the mind, body, and spirit
• VIP experiences and exclusive engagement opportunities

The retreat welcomes women from all backgrounds, including professionals, entrepreneurs, ministry leaders, First Ladies, wives, mothers, and women navigating seasons of transition.
