Who This Retreat Is For
Women who are finally ready to make a trade-off that's in service of THEM, and only them.
Women who are thoughtful, self-aware, already doing "the work"—and are ready for a gentler, more embodied way of meeting themselves.
Career + Purpose
Feeling stuck in your professional path or searching for deeper meaning in your work. Ready to discover direction that aligns with your authentic self.
Relationships
Navigating patterns in relationships that feel imbalanced or draining. Seeking ways to connect with others and yourself that feel safe, spacious, and sustainable.
Health + Vitality
Struggling with low energy, burnout, exhaustion, or feeling disconnected from your body. Ready to restore and reclaim your vital life force energy.
For You
Is This Retreat Right for You?
You're Ready If...
You Feel Stuck or Stagnant
You feel stuck around a pattern, a decision, a relationship, your career or purpose, and/or your sense of vitality. You feel exhausted from trying to push through it.
You've Tried Everything
You've already tried effort, discipline, hustle, insight, and "doing the work," and something in you knows there has to be a more sustainable way forward.
You Want a New Approach
By listening to the wisdom of your mind and body, softening your efforts, and working with the stuckness instead of against it, you can uncover a path to natural movement and momentum.
The More Sustainable Approach
Through an intentionally curated suite of holistic mind-body practices, held in a quiet, nature-based setting, you'll learn how to relate with whatever feels stuck right now in a way that creates more ease and momentum within you and within your life.
Come Home to Your Inner Wisdom
Connect with and uncover the innate intelligence of your mind and body.
Clarity, direction, and next steps emerge from your own inner knowing — not from exhaustion, pressure, or external force.
Soften Your Efforts
Release the pressure of forcing change through willpower alone.
This isn't about powering through resistance, it's about building a trusting and loving relationship with your inner world in more kind and gentle ways.
Work With Stuckness
Stuckness and resistance aren’t signs of failure.
They often carry important wisdom.
Learn simple, embodied ways to meet these energies with less self-criticism and more curiosity — so you can move forward with more understanding and less force.
