Clarity. Changes. Everything.

Clarity is not something you stumble into. It's something you step away to receive.

At the heart of Unlocking Greatness is the “necessary.” Retreat, a transformation journey that has helped people around the world gain clarity and experience breakthroughs.

Who is this for? Primarily for Christian women, and open to adults ready for spiritual, personal, or entrepreneurial growth.
What will it do? Challenge you to think, live, and lead as an heir of God.
Why now? Because clarity is often the first thing lost when there is pressure or distractions.
Where do I begin? Begin inside the Unlocking Greatness Membership so we can walk this journey together.

I love the Necessary Retreat! I haven’t completed all assignments, and my life has changed. It's amazing how God is using Zenja to bless us to open our eyes to see our spiritual gifts.  Z' you are a true gift from God... May God continue to bless you and may His will be done in your life. Love you! We are going higher in Jesus Name Amen!

All I can say is that I am not the same person I was when I started this program. To God be all the Glory!! I have grown so much with trials with ups and downs but I have been transformed by taking baby steps and slow as a turtle,but I did it. Thank you Z. for all the knowledge you have taught me thru this program. I continue to learn to grow more and more on my faith and trust the lord.

I joined the Unlocking Greatness community after  weeks of binge watching Ms. Z YouTube videos and years of sitting on a business model I knew I was led to roll out. Unbeknownst to me, the day I joined the community, happened to be the day I quite my job. I was broken and scared but going through the necessary retreat I leaned heavily on the “Finally statement” and “Get it before you get it” exercises. To be honest my initial thought was, I need to learn how to make money fast, I just quit my job. But going through the retreat has shaped my mind in such a way that my action’s began to follow. Within a couple weeks of joining the community I started my own business and it hasn’t been easy but I’m grateful for the community and Ms. Z’s guidance. She is a huge part of my journey and I can tell she believes in me and wants me to win. For that, I’m excited for her to witness my personal and professional growth. Thank you so much Ms. Z, love you!

A year ago, I found Zenja on Instagram and this is how the journey started. I felt so lost at that time but this retreat really changed me!

Within a few months I learned what I want to do with my life and who I am. Now I am even planning to start my own business! Thank you, Zenja that you created this powerful retreat with such a beautiful community!

I cannot say enough good things about the necessary retreat. The necessary retreat was truly God sent. Z:  You truly allow the Holy Spirit to use you and speak through you in a mighty way to write the necessary book and to put together such a powerful necessary retreat that walks you through each chapter with a built in free biblical-base study guide at the end of each chapter.  It is evident that Z. has spent intentional time with God. This necessary retreat has given me hope again. If one person can let God use them to share their story of pure pain in her life and turn the hurt into a beautiful reflection of love through this masterpiece book, the necessary retreat is an answered prayer to many hurting people all over the world 🌎 like myself.  This gave me much needed hope I was searching for.  I am so ever grateful to Z. Through this retreat God has allowed me to see myself the way God sees me. 

If anyone is ready to challenge themselves to grow ……it says in God’s word whoever (“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.) Matthew 7:7-8.  

The necessary retreat is a perfect start to give you a beacon of hope that your life truly has purpose and we are all destined for greatness with God. Every day, by having an intentional relationship with God through prayer, mediation, and action, I have made sufficient changes in my personal life journey that I would have never accomplished without the help of the amazing Unlocking Greatness community and necessary retreat journey.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart Z. 

The necessary retreat made me cry, laugh, and address some very painful things in my life. One that speaks loudly to my spirit is a caged mindset. Chapter 12: Caged Mindset in the book has allowed me to break free from this way of thinking with the help of God of this ungodly and dangerous way of thinking that will cause anyone to stay in bondage, if not addressed. 

The necessary retreat is a great start for anyone who is struggling with some very painful unresolved issues. If you are willing to put in the work and address your painful hurting issues through this necessary retreat - God is willing and able to help you put your life back together again.  How do I know? I have tried it and Jesus is working in my life daily to restore me back to greatness through Jesus Christ. 

I have done some things I would have never accomplished without God. I challenge myself to love myself enough to change my caged mindset and every Human being is worthy of the same love through Christ. 

Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” 💕 This retreat gave me the hope and strength I was searching for. 

Every time I felt like giving up, Z.’s words of wisdom throughout social media gave me the strength and courage to battle my inner struggles head on without fear. I now have the Lion strength and courage that giving up on me is not an option; that there is Greatness inside of me.  I don’t have to beg anyone to love or accept me. I am a child of the Most High 🙌🏾

This masterpiece biblical-base retreat has changed my mindset and has drawn me to have a closer relationship with God.  I cannot thank this woman of God enough for listening to God and being bold enough to put her pain on display through her necessary book and speak so boldly inside her audio and visual necessary retreat life learning sessions.  God be the Glory for the marvelous things you are doing to make a difference in such critical times we are experiencing her in earth. Thank you, Z. ❤️
