Over 20 years ago, God planted a vision in my heart, a deep desire to create space for women to gather, rest, and experience His presence in a personal way. That vision became Wanted Campference, a women’s retreat where lifelong friendships were formed, souls were refreshed, and the message was clear: you are wanted by God.

It was more than a retreat. It was camp—grown-up style. We laughed, cried, prayed, created, listened, and rested… together. We shared stories and carried one another through seasons of joy, struggle, healing, and growth.

And now, God is expanding the tent. 

What started as Wanted Campference has evolved into Wanted & Welcome—a community, a podcast, and a movement of women finding freedom in their stories and encouragement in each other.

Today, the conversations continue on Instagram Live, where I host The Wanted & Welcome Podcast—real talks about faith, identity, friendship, rest, and the messy, beautiful life we share. It’s still camp, in a way. Still sacred space. Just in a new form.

Whether you join us at a retreat like in the past, or you’re new to the community, we’re so glad you’re here. This is a space to retreat with God, share stories that matter, and remember that from the very beginning, you were wanted. You are welcome.

Faithfully His,
Barbara
