“Give yourself one of the best gifts ever! I have participated in many retreats but this was by far the most amazing. Nothing better than a group of kind hearted women, journeying together, led by gifted, healing facilitators.”
— Brenda J.R.
A trauma-informed weekend for women ready to step away from the noise, restore their nervous system, and return to themselves.
If you've been craving a few days that are simply, finally, yours - this is for you. No agenda. No to-do list. Nobody needing anything from you. Just rest, beauty, a few new experiences, and the kind of slowing-down most of us never quite let ourselves have. This weekend was made for women ready to step away and enjoy themselves again.
Held over July 17–19, a time long honoured across traditions as the height of summer's fullness, this gathering arrives when the natural world is in generous, vibrant green colors. It is a seasonal invitation to emerge from whatever has kept you contracted - to soften, recalibrate, and remember what it feels like to be well.
Over the weekend, the body is gently invited out of survival mode and into regulation through nervous system education, breath and somatic movement, sound and sensory experiences, art as expression, rest, silence, and nature immersion.

“This is my fourth retreat and each one has been special and unique. I cannot say enough about the retreat space itself, it is so beautiful. I always leave the retreats with new insights and love for the women who joined and shared. I cannot thank Veronica, Jinny and Irene enough. Xoxoxo”
— Retreat Participant

— Michelle Francis
“Just simply a big thank you for a well thought out and loving experience which I have been working hard on following my gut for a long time, and this retreat helped me get even more in tune and believe fully in trusting myself and leading with my heart over my head. The women that guided us, as well as the other women there, all had a huge impact on my experience and made it what it was. I could not be more grateful for this incredible weekend. Great things are to come.”
— Amanda Thomas
“This was my second retreat and I have already signed up for my third. I love everything about the retreat. It is so well organized and a lot of thought and love is put into it. The support and positive feminine energy is amazing. It is my way to reset so I can continue to help others heal.”
— Jennifer K.
“This retreat was so much more than I expected! To have such an amazing group of women supporting each other as we are all on our own journey is magical! I feel like I have a weight lifted off my shoulders.”
— Mindy Wyatt
“Great opportunity to help reboot your wellbeing with women who care about you, and with other like minded women who will not judge.”
— Sandra M.

“This is the first time I have walked away from a retreat and actually felt something shift. It is also the first time I have signed up for a second retreat with the same facilitators. Thank you.”
— Michelle
“This retreat and our leaders have made me feel so loved and supported. The information you shared with us was powerful, but even more powerful was the sense of being heard and understood and knowing that I matter. I learned that maybe my cancer diagnosis and my lung removal was not a life sentence but a second chance to live and breath properly for the first time in years. That meant more to me than I could have imagined, thank you just does not seem to be enough. Nicoletta and Veronica will always hold a special place in my heart and the connections made with the other women will live with me forever.”
— Lori
“I felt a sense of community. There was no judgment, lots of energy, lots of support. Never felt out a place. Felt very welcome from the moment I arrived.”
— Barbara
