Overwhelmed No More: Self-Paced (Revised 2024)

  Enroll in Retreat


God created you for a life of meaning and purpose.

With the overwhelming number of choices and decisions, how do you come to discover what this life of meaning and purpose looks like? You may even wonder, “Does God have a vision for my life?

God desires to meet you where you are and to help you discover your next right steps. Drawing on the promises of God found in scripture and the wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola, this retreat seeks to answer: How do we settle our scattered minds and hear God’s voice and call when everything competes for our attention?

There is hope!

You do not have to feel overwhelmed anymore and you do not have to journey alone.

We have prayerfully created a self-paced, six-week retreat as a way to help you intentionally pause, pray, and embrace a path of abundant hope, peace, and purpose. Done on your schedule, we are inviting you to journey with us to truly discover and live God's vision for your life - a vision where you are overwhelmed no more!

This unique online retreat, based on the 500-year-old discernment wisdom of St. Ignatius of Loyola provides an individual retreat experience within a virtual community of faith.

Throughout the retreat, Becky will guide you through the Ignatian discernment process. Together with her team of Ignatian prayer guides we will help you discover and live God's vision for your life. A vision where you are overwhelmed no more!

The Six Ways to Discover and Live God's Vision for Your Life:

  • Week 1: Know You Are Not Alone
  • Week 2: Pray in Daily Life
  • Week 3: Center Your Life Around God
  • Week 4: Clarify Your Yeses
  • Week 5: Choosing Between Goods
  • Week 6: Walk Boldly in Peace

You will walk through weekly video teachings from Becky, prayer guides, worksheets, and other spiritual tools as well as have access to more information in our Go Deeper Library each week.

Overwhelmed No More literally changed my life!

I started it because I wanted to do a little something more during Advent. Little did I know that my "little something more" would be God taking me on a journey to deepen my relationship with Him like never before.
I learned ways of talking to God, learning about God, and being with God that I had not previously experienced. I am happy to say that my time with God today, several months later, looks completely different and more meaningful than ever before. I am eternally grateful that the Holy Spirit prompted me to enroll in Overwhelmed No More.

Frequently Asked Questions


When does the retreat start and finish?
As soon as you register, you will receive a welcome email with access to the Getting Started module to prepare you for the retreat. The course is self-paced, so you can begin as soon as you have access. Even though the retreat is created in the format of 6 weeks, you can begin your week on any day and even pause and take longer in a week if you feel that you need to continue to stay there and pay attention to what God is calling you to notice.
How do you bring the in-person retreat experience to an online retreat?
This retreat model has many of the traditional aspects of an in-person retreat. Just like an in-person retreat, you will encounter God! Your retreat facilitator, Becky Eldredge, gives reflections and directs your attention to certain materials and scriptures for your personal prayer time. In this online retreat, Becky will do this through video-recorded talks, embedded/downloadable handouts, and guided audio prayer experiences. Guided audio prayers will be from Becky and a few other members of her team, so our team will be walking prayerfully with you on this journey. The most important part of any retreat is time spent with God. During this online retreat, you are invited to set aside some time in your daily life for quiet reflection and prayer. This prayer time can happen according to your schedule. Each week includes a guide for prayer with daily scriptures as well as additional prayer activities.
What is the expected time commitment for this retreat?
Plan to set aside 10-15+ minutes for daily prayer and reflection, 25-30 minutes each week for the video, and 30 minutes each week for the additional prayer activity. This is a self-paced, six-week retreat and can be completed at your convenience. You will still have access to the material and videos after the initial six weeks is completed.
What supplies will I need for this retreat?
Supplies needed for the retreat: - Computer, tablet or smartphone - A prayer place - Bible - Journal - Weekly prayer guide (will be provided) Optional: - Blank paper, markers, colored pencils, etc. (for some of the prayer activities) - Binder/folder to store prayer materials
Are scholarships available?

Please email us at [email protected] to request a scholarship code to enroll in our retreat at no charge. We will send a donation link when we send you the scholarship code for your registration.

How can I access this course? Is there an app?
The course platform is Teachable. If possible, please opt in to emails from Teachable so that we can send updates and notify you that new content is available. You can access the course through logging into Teachable.com on a computer/laptop. There is also a free Teachable iOS app for Apple devices. Note that through the app, you will have limited access to the handouts. If you need the handouts emailed to you as a .pdf, please email [email protected].

This retreat has helped me allow God to be in control of what I do next,

to be happy where I am, and not try and pre-empt God's plans for me. In other words, to live in the moment.
