Fireweed Retreat

Christ-Centered Retreat For Birth Mothers

Fireweed Retreat Update
This past year (2024) has been one of listening, reflecting, and praying for where God might lead our path. We’ve sensed a possible new home for Fireweed Retreat and formed a small planning team to explore this next right place and path forward. It’s not a final answer, but a faithful question—Is this where God is leading Fireweed Retreat?

Though there won’t be a Fireweed Retreat in 2025, the work continues—intentionally, prayerfully, and with deep love. While there have been more roadblocks than open pathways in our planning that have led to this decision, as is so often true in soul work such as this, what feels like a detour may be divine direction—quietly shaping something even better than we could ever think or imagine.

Thank you for your prayers and patience while we hold 2026’s Fireweed Retreat with hope and the utmost care—and trusting that in this detour, we find God’s perfect plan for our future to build the path He sets before.

With love,
The Fireweed Team
1 John 3:1

"It's important to me to create an environment where birth mothers who may not know Jesus can feel just as seen, honored and respected as much as Christ-following birth mothers while receiving a weekend filled with pampering, validation, Biblical truth, and Christ-centered tools for their self-care tool belts."

~ Jennifer Mae, Birth Mom and Founder of the Fireweed Birth Mom Retreat

The Fireweed Retreat for Birth Moms is a Christ-centered retreat for only natural/first/birth mothers who are looking to connect with other women who placed and are wanting to find the hope of Jesus in their stories.

Every participant gets to enjoy a room, with one roommate with a private bathroom, seating area, and kitchen on the shores of beautiful Lake Erie, and guest speakers, crafts, activities, a plethora of snacks, and all meals.

Please note: Age of birth mother, year of placement, adoption status (closed, open, reunited, etc.), and agency, attorney, or services in which one placed does not impact a birth mother's invite.
