Dr. Felicia D. Shelton is a visionary leader, faith-centered voice, and passionate cultivator of sacred spaces where women can be renewed, empowered, and deeply connected in sisterhood.
With a heart anchored in spiritual renewal and a calling rooted in prayer and purpose, Dr. Shelton founded The RefresHer Collective as a divine response to the growing need for restoration among women navigating the demands of life, leadership, and identity. Her vision was clear: to create a space where women could encounter God authentically, grow spiritually, and walk boldly in who they were created to be.
Guided by the foundational principles of RefresHer, PusHer, and CHerish, Dr. Shelton has built more than a platform—she has cultivated a movement. One that prioritizes the presence of God, embraces the power of prayer, and honors the beauty of intentional sisterhood.
She believes deeply in spiritual renewal, creating opportunities for women to pause, reflect, and be restored through God’s Word.
She champions prayer and purpose, equipping women to press beyond limitations and pursue their calling with clarity, courage, and conviction.
She nurtures sisterhood and community, fostering environments where women feel seen, valued, and supported in every season of life.
Dr. Shelton’s approach to ministry is both intentional and authentic. She creates spaces where faith is not performative, but personal—where women are encouraged to grow at their own pace while remaining grounded in truth.
Through devotionals, teachings, gatherings, and The RefresHer Collective experiences, her mission continues to unfold: to see women refreshed in spirit, empowered in purpose, and strengthened through connection.
Her vision extends beyond moments—it is about transformation. A transformation that begins within and radiates into every area of a woman’s life.
The RefresHer Collective was born from a deep recognition that women everywhere are longing for a place to breathe again—a sacred space to be renewed, restored, and reminded of who they are in God. In a world that often demands more than it gives, many women find themselves pouring out endlessly while quietly running on empty. Burdened by responsibility, distracted by noise, and disconnected from stillness, the need for true spiritual refreshing has never been greater. The RefresHer Collective was created as a response to that need. What began as a desire to encourage and uplift women through faith has grown into a movement centered on three divine expressions: RefresHer, PusHer, and CHerish.
RefresHer was established to restore hearts—to create moments where women can return to the presence of God and experience true renewal. Through devotionals, scripture meditations, and reflective resources, women are invited to pause, be filled, and be refreshed from within.
PusHer emerged from the call to go deeper—to activate a life of bold prayer, unwavering faith, and purposeful living. Through intercession, teachings, and transformational conversations, women are equipped to press beyond limitations and pursue God’s calling with confidence and clarity.
CHerish was cultivated to remind women they are never meant to walk alone. Through intentional gatherings, retreats, and sisterhood experiences, we create spaces where women are seen, supported, celebrated, and strengthened in community.
Together, these pillars form more than a framework—they reflect a lifestyle. A rhythm of returning, rising, and reconnecting.
to cultivate sacred spaces where women are refreshed in spirit, rooted in truth, and empowered to walk boldly in their divine identity.
This is more than a platform.
It is a place of encounter.
A place of healing.
A place of becoming.
SOROR CIRCULI is derived from two Latin words, meaning "SISTER CIRCLE" in English. We exist to bring women of Christ-like faith together in the spirit of unity, sisterhood, and collaboration. We are committed to empowering one another to thrive spiritually, emotionally, and professionally. As we grow together, we extend the same support outward - uplifting others through intentional sisterly support, civic engagement, and compassionate outreach. Through our Koinonia Fellowship Gatherings, Women's Empowerment & Networking Opportunities, and Pillars of Hope Civic Outreach Initiatives, we serve women, widows, orphans, children living in literacy deserts, first-generation pre-college students, and the broader community.
Our purpose is to enrich the lives of women while contributing to a greater collective good. Through C.O.R.E. initiatives and civic outreach efforts, we seek to reflect the light within us, bearing witness through our actions. We are committed to extending compassionate service, walking in humility and love, and offering the love of Christ to those in need of support, hope, and encouragement. Guided by the Word of God, we let our light shine before others (Matthew 5:16), demonstrating faith through works and serving as vessels of God's grace and truth. Through every act of kindness and service, we aim to uplift, restore, and bring glory to God.
Our vision is to cultivate an oasis where women can reconnect, refresh, and boldly pursue her Christ-ordained purpose. We aspire for every sister and every community touched by our benevolence to feel seen, supported, and empowered – fully realizing their potential through the love, unity, and mission of SOROR CIRCULI.
