Hearts of Rest

He Restores My Soul

Psalm 23:3

In the midst of the demands of daily life, there is a sacred invitation to pause. The Hearts of Rest Women’s Retreat is a serene weekend escape designed to offer just that—a holy pause for the soul.

Our Mission

Founded in 2019 by Vaughan Pursell Spanjer, a wife, mother, and artist, this retreat was born from a deep, personal need for rest—and a divine prompting that others were longing for the same. Set on the tranquil, picturesque landscape of Vaughan’s family farm, Hearts of Rest has become a haven for women of all ages seeking space to breathe, reflect, and be renewed.

This is more than a getaway. It’s a time of Christian fellowship, heartfelt worship, and creative workshops that awaken joy and inspiration. It’s a weekend to experience simple pleasures—savoring culinary delights, forming soulful connections, and letting God tend gently to the weariness of your heart.

We invite you to join us for a restful escape, where beauty, creativity, and the presence of God meet you right where you are. Come away for a while… and let Him restore your soul.

Past Attendee's Stories

"The moment that I arrived at Pursell Farms I sensed an anointing on the property, the people, and the retreat. Hearts of Rest was truly a Spirit-infused gathering that was filled with refreshment and rest for my body and my soul. God’s perfect timing. Sweet women seeking the Lord with open hearts, rejoicing together, and joined in praising God for His faithfulness was a beautiful thing to behold. Every detail of the retreat was thought out with such excellence and it was such a God honoring weekend. I am so grateful to have been a part of it!" - Tracy Brown
