Arise Sanctuary is pleased to launch a new style of event. This 2 day event will be held on Hamilton Island at the Yacht Club overlooking turquoise waters and islands of the Whitsundays. It will be a beautiful blend of conference and retreat time with God. A line up of world class, anointed speakers will minister, activate, inspire, prophesy and impart to you personally as the Holy Spirit leads. Throughout the 2 days we will hear from Shawn Bolz (author, speaker, tv host, prophet and pioneer) who will join us live online, Ed Rush (author, business coach, speaker) who will also join us live online, Jenny Gilpin (author, speaker, prophet) who will be joining us in person and Lisa Bruton (founder of Arise Sanctuary, speaker and host) who will be there in person to lead the conference and minister as the Holy Spirit leads.

There will also be space and time during the 2 days for you to take time to be still with God and receive expanded visions, wilder dreams, ideas, downloads and tender whispers to the heart.

This conference is geared specifically for those who are leaders, pastors, business owners, pioneers or those who know they are called to a kingdom purpose but haven’t yet defined or put words around what that purpose is.

Both men and women are welcome. Come on your own, with friends, ministry or business partner/s or with your spouse.

In order to ensure that the event remains intimate there are limited spots/ bookings available.

The heart of this conference is to create space and time for you to encounter the Holy Spirit so that you can receive greater clarity, refreshment, new oil, miracles and His wonder. It will also be a time of divine connections, receiving God breathed creative ideas, confirmations, encouragement and rest.

Give yourself permission to take the time to explore, snorkel, dine, read by the pool, swim, hike or cruise around the island on a golf buggy!

This time away is sure to be a defining and pivotal moment in your life.

Ed Rush

950 miles an hour. Now that’s fast. But it’s not nearly as fast as Top Gun Graduate Ed Rush flew in his combat career as a decorated F-18 pilot which included over 50 combat flight hours and 2 tours to Iraq. While in the Marines, Ed served as one of the country’s leading instructors on aerial dog fighting and recently worked as a key player in the development of the new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. 

After two combat tours to Iraq, Ed left full-time active duty to speak, write, and share a message that will change the world. Ed’s clients range from small startups to multi-million dollar – multi-national organizations and include CEOs, founders, political leaders, sports teams, national universities, Hollywood stars, and one of the contestants on Season #1 of Donald Trump’s The Apprentice.

He has achieved all of this despite possessing a below-average intelligence (case in point: Ed failed Kindergarten). 

Ed’s books and expertise have been featured on CBS, FOX, ABC, and NBC. To follow or connect with Ed, head over to: www.EdRush.com.
