In the midst of life's daily hustle, we often lose sight of who we truly are. Here’s an opportunity to step away from the chaos of the every day, gain fresh perspective, and reconnect with your essence. Through expertly curated workshops, peaceful guided yoga and meditation sessions, and intimate group discussions, you’ll delve deep into your inner world and unlock the invigorating power within you. Our activities are designed to equip you with tools to thrive with confidence in all aspects of life. With the beautiful motivations of curiosity and courage, you can listen, take charge, and forge real, inspired change. You’ll also find yourself creating natural, unbreakable bonds within a nurturing, supportive, joyous community of like-minded women – true “sister friends.” Gift yourself this life-changing experience as you discover the empowered, authentic, and remarkable woman within you! You'll return to your everyday life with a renewed sense of clarity and purpose and the kind of sister friends who will keep you gently accountable to the new You. Grab a friend, or come alone and meet new incredible women. Spaces are limited, so don't miss this chance to embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth.
This is a sample itinerary to give you an idea of what the trip will be like, and some of the key experiences along the way, but we’ll go with the flow - literally - and allow each day to unfold.

It means getting away from the daily routines, relationships and thought processes that put you in auto pilot, or even limit, you. It means leaving the to-do lists at home, turning on your “out of office”, and trusting all’s well as you give yourself permission to be fully present and embrace the connections and growth that nurture and transform.
We'll select a podcast or article that will give us all a shared theme to dive into and explore together. You just might find it seed spontaneous conversation too! Guided yoga sessions, solo walks on the beach, and guided journal reflections round out the experience. We promise light-hearted, spontaneous fun and enjoyable, thoughtful reflection. We're not here to tell you what or how to think or grow, but rather, we host your own discovery and unfoldment.
It’s mild and invigorating. We’ll spend an afternoon e-biking along the coast, have opportunities for different levels of hiking, enjoy time walking the beach, and offer several sessions of gentle yoga with the opportunity for more advanced poses.
This is like a cozy girls’ getaway weekend. We intentionally offer an informal, homelike setting for our retreats where we want you to feel comfortable. You’ll have opportunities to make meaningful connections at your fingertips as you share common areas for coffee chats, informal meals, facilitated discussions and private yoga sessions. Because you’re in close proximity, we encourage you to find a sister friend to come along with you and share a room!
Savor delicious and wholesome meals crafted with love and care. We have prepared a menu that nourishes your body and delights your taste buds. Experience the joy of mindful eating in a supportive and uplifting environment. We’ll survey you prior so you can let us know your food preferences.
This is a perfect time to come after summer crowds have gone home. Skies are usually clear, and there’s a lovely gentle breeze off the coast. The temps top out in the low 70’s, and the ocean mid 60’s.
