Know Thy Self: A Healing Weekend in Miami Beach

Presented by Michael D. Ballard (The Marriage Pastor) & Shavon Ballard

For too long, you’ve lived as the version of yourself life forced you to be. The version shaped by trauma, expectations, and survival.

But who were you before the world got its hands on you?

That’s the woman God is calling you to meet.

At the Know Thy Self Healing Weekend, we are holding space for 20 women to finally break free from the lies, shame, and false identities you’ve carried — so you can step into the truth of who God says you are.

This isn’t self-help. This is soul work.

✅ You will release the false identities life and trauma placed on you.
✅ You will break internal vows you made to protect yourself — and trust God to heal you instead.
✅ You will uncover and heal childhood wounds still shaping your adult relationships.
✅ You will learn to hear and believe the truth of what God calls you — not what people called you.
✅ You will leave equipped to walk boldly in your real identity — the one heaven has known all along.
