I'm looking for a speaker at a retreat/event I'm planning. Do you do that?

I've never heard of a living room retreat. What's that like?
This is a small intimate retreat ideal for between 4-8 people. It uses the same materials of a large retreat, but because of the small number of participants, much of the transition time isn’t needed. You pick the setting, the participants, and the hospitality. Then, we talk abut what theme you would like to cover. This is ideal for an ongoing small group, young adults, or a multigeneration community of women who want to have a guided way to share their faith.

Do you travel for retreats?
I will travel for retreats, but the hosting party is asked to cover travel expenses for events over a three hour drive. If it requires lodging or flight, that would also be reimbursed. Jamie makes her own travel arrangements, flying Southwest when possible.
