Lynne Farrell is the Founder and Executive Director of Seen and Beloved. She is the author of the book, Seen, and the women’s Bible study, as well as the creator and speaker for the video series’ SEEN: Discovering the Freedom to be Authentically You and Go to Bethlehem and See, both featured on RightNow Media. She also speaks at women’s retreats and events and has also authored the children’s book, Bennie’s Forever Gift.
With over 25 years of ministry experience, Lynne has met countless people navigating life's challenges and feeling trapped by their past. Despite their faith and best efforts, these strongholds often feel insurmountable, leading them to settle for less than the abundant life Jesus promises. Many experience a partial gospel that focuses only on future glory, and they miss the beauty and joy that is available NOW.
Drawing on her relationships, observations, and first-hand experience, Lynne founded the organization to help others identify specific areas in their lives where they feel stuck and to provide encouragement and tools to move them toward lasting freedom and wholeness.
Lynne believes, and has personally experienced, Jesus’ promise: "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). Seen and Beloved is dedicated to helping all people step into the flourishing life that He has intended for each of His uniquely crafted children.
About the Seen Retreat
Are you tired of the masks? Are your women struggling to understand their true identity? Is freedom in Christ just a ‘buzz phrase,’ or is it a reality for your church body or organization?
The SEEN Retreat is designed to help women break free from the facade and embrace the true self found in Jesus. Through powerful biblical teachings, worship, prayer, and personal reflection, the SEEN experience invites women to engage intimately with the Holy Spirit and begin the journey of restoration of who — and ALL — they were made to be.
Led by Lynne Farrell, whose personal testimony encourages vulnerability and honest contemplation, SEEN offers a supportive environment where transparency leads to deeper connections with the Lord and each other. Whether you choose the convenient Friday evening/Saturday format or the Immersive Weekend format, each retreat is tailored to meet the unique needs of your church community.
Discover the JOY and LIFE that come from understanding you are truly seen and loved by God!
“Sharing her own personal story of redemption, Lynne's ‘Seen’ Retreat creates a safe space for women to open up and receive ministry for the unprocessed pain in their past. Her story encourages others to see how the Lord can change the "thorny thread" in their lives into a lifeline of hope for themselves and others. I highly recommend this retreat to women's ministries wanting to access a deeper level of healing and restoration for the precious hearts of their women.”
- Michele Wrigley, Women's Ministry Pastor at HTC (Holy Trinity Church), McLean, VA
“Participating in the ‘Seen’ Womens’ Retreat was a transformative experience that led to a deeper relationship with God. I am embracing a restored identity as His daughter and am struck by the presence of the Holy Spirit that I have encountered. Thanks to Lynne’s ministry, I am basking in a newfound freedom and joy I didn’t even know I was missing!”
- Morgan Matoskey, Retreat Participant, Spring 2024
Books by Lynne Farrell available on Amazon
Are you longing to be truly seen?
We all enter this world with a divine desire to be known for who we truly are. Yet somewhere along the way, life hurts us, fear sets in, and we build walls of protection. The result? We find ourselves trapped in shallow relationships, disconnected from others, and unable to be real—even with God.
But your pain does not have to be the end of your story. It can become your most powerful, redemptive gift.
The book includes transformative tools and exercises to help you break free from the façade and step into the fullness of who God created you to be.
