Homecoming

At this time, this retreat is designed for women and gender-diverse adults.

Over the past several years, I've felt especially drawn to create warm, deeply supportive spaces for women and people of diverse gender identities who are navigating change, tending to their inner lives, and longing to reconnect with themselves.

My hope is that everyone who comes here feels safe, welcomed, and deeply cared for. If you're unsure whether this retreat is the right fit for you, you're always welcome to reach out and start a conversation.

Most days, we'll spend about 4-5 hours together, though the rhythm will vary depending on what you need and what naturally unfolds during your retreat.

Some of our time may look like deep conversation, guided reflection, creative exercises, sharing a meal, or simply sitting together in a quiet moment. The rest of your day is intentionally left open for rest, journaling, exploring, napping, walking, or simply being with yourself.

The spaciousness between our sessions isn't downtime or an afterthought. It's an essential part of the retreat. Often, the most meaningful insights emerge in those quiet moments when there's finally room to hear yourself again.

Together, we'll create a pace that feels both supportive and spacious, with plenty of time for connection and plenty of room to simply be.

The short answer? Whatever you need.

The spacious hours between our sessions are an intentional part of the retreat, not simply "free time" to fill. This is your opportunity to slow down and listen to yourself in a way that everyday life rarely allows.

You might journal, rest, nap, take a walk, ride the trails on my electric bike, sit on the porch with a cup of tea, read, create, cry, daydream, prepare one of the meals waiting for you in the fridge, or simply do nothing at all. You may find yourself reflecting on our conversations or noticing feelings and insights that only emerge when there's finally room to breathe.

Some women worry that they'll be bored or won't know what to do with themselves. In reality, many discover that these quiet moments become some of the most meaningful parts of their experience.

You'll have gentle invitations and ideas available to you if you'd like them, but there is no agenda to keep up with and nothing to achieve. This retreat isn't about doing more. It's about creating enough spaciousness to hear yourself again.

Absolutely.

In fact, many women arrive knowing more about how they feel than what they need. They know they're tired, restless, overwhelmed, grieving, disconnected, or standing at some kind of threshold, but they can't quite put into words what is calling them here.

You don't need to arrive with a perfectly defined goal or a clear plan for your retreat. You simply need a sense that something in you is asking for attention, care, or space to breathe.

Before your retreat, we'll have a planning conversation to begin exploring what feels most important right now. Then, once you're here, we'll continue listening together and allow the focus of your retreat to emerge naturally.

You don't need all the answers before you come. Sometimes the retreat itself is what helps you discover the questions your heart has been trying to ask.

Absolutely. One of the gifts of a personalized retreat is having plenty of spaciousness to simply be, and for many people, that includes spending time in nature.

Miles of walking and hiking trails begin right outside my front door. You can wander through the trees, walk to a nearby butte, sit on a bench overlooking the mountains and watch the sunset, or borrow one of my electric bikes and explore the trails at your own pace. No car is needed to enjoy the beauty surrounding the retreat space.

If you'd like to venture a little farther, renting a car can open up even more possibilities. I'm happy to recommend local and state parks, scenic drives, and favorite places to explore, including the breathtaking Garden of the Gods, located about an hour away.

There is no expectation to sightsee or stay busy while you're here. But if being in nature helps you feel more like yourself, Colorado offers plenty of room to wander, breathe, and take in a little wonder.

It's completely normal to feel a little nervous about the spaciousness built into this retreat, especially if you're used to caring for others, staying busy, or having someone tell you what to do next.

The time between our sessions isn't an absence of support. It's an intentional part of the experience. Resting, wandering, journaling, napping, taking a long bath, sitting on the bench looking at the mountains, or simply noticing what arises are all meaningful parts of the retreat.

We'll talk ahead of time about what kind of rhythm and support feels most nourishing for you. While I won't be with you every moment of the day, you won't be left to figure it all out alone. Together, we'll create a retreat that feels both spacious and supportive.

To allow me to offer these retreats in a sustainable way while also protecting time with my family, retreats are primarily held during the week.

Typical check-in days are Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, with check-out on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.

If traveling during the week would create a significant hardship for you, please reach out at [email protected]. In limited circumstances, I may be able to accommodate an alternative schedule.

I do my best to create flexibility where I can, but weekend availability is very limited and cannot be guaranteed.

Most women choose to stay 3 to 5 nights, and together we'll decide what feels like the best fit for you during our planning call.

There isn't a "right" length of time. Some women prefer a shorter retreat with a few days to step away, reflect, and reconnect with themselves. Others crave more spaciousness and appreciate having additional time to settle in, rest deeply, and allow things to unfold more slowly.

As a general rhythm, your arrival and departure days each include one session together, while your full days include two sessions with plenty of time in between for rest, reflection, and simply being.

If you're unsure how long to stay, don't worry. We'll talk through your hopes for the retreat, your schedule, and the kind of experience you're longing for and decide together what feels most supportive.

If your life feels especially full, tender, or you're longing to truly exhale, I often recommend leaning toward a longer stay

This retreat is designed to be a dedicated space for you. For that reason, I ask that you attend on your own and do not bring a partner, child, or friend with you.

For many women, this is one of the few times in life when they are not responsible for anyone else's needs, preferences, or schedules. Coming alone allows you to fully settle into the experience, listen to yourself more deeply, and receive the care and attention you're so often giving to others.

I know stepping away on your own can feel both exciting and a little vulnerable. But there is something powerful about choosing a few days that belong entirely to you.

You have your choice of 2 airports:

DENVER: I am 45 min south of Denver International airport. It is usually cheaper to fly into with a million flight options, but is very large. Plan on it taking 30-45 min from the time you land to get to your rental car or car service.

CO SPRINGS: I am 1 hour north of CO Springs airport. This is the smallest, easiest airport ever, but has less flight options.

Transportation to and from the airport is your responsibility.  

You are free to park a rental car on the property if you'd like to have the optionality of being able to leave and explore the beauty of the area during your free time.

OR you can book Joe's Car Service to pick you up and bring you back and forth.  I highly recommend this company (I use it myself) because it's a local, small business that offers a flat rate no matter the time of day. Uber and Lyft can be as much as double during peak times.

Yes! Before your retreat, you'll receive a menu of meal options to choose from, along with questions about your favorite snacks, beverages, and any dietary needs or preferences you may have.

Your fridge and kitchen will be stocked before you arrive so that meals are simple and ready for you to prepare and enjoy on your own schedule. There is no need to grocery shop or spend time planning what you'll eat while you're here.

Whether you're gluten-free, vegetarian, dairy-free, have food allergies, or simply have favorite comfort foods, I'm happy to accommodate your needs whenever possible.

I want you to feel deeply cared for during your stay, and having nourishing food waiting for you is one small way of helping you settle in, slow down, and focus on yourself for a change.

Absolutely. Before we've met and chosen your retreat dates, you're welcome to change your mind and receive a full refund of your deposit.

Once we've had our planning call and reserved your dates, your deposit becomes nonrefundable. At that point, I've set aside that time exclusively for you and have already begun preparing for your retreat.

If an unexpected emergency arises and you're unable to travel, your deposit may be applied to a future retreat date within the next 6 months. My hope is to hold this process with both care and flexibility while also honoring the time and preparation that goes into creating your experience.

Most women schedule their retreat within the next 6 months, and I encourage you to choose dates within that timeframe whenever possible.

I understand that life happens, though, so there isn't a strict expiration date on your deposit. If you need a little more time, simply reach out and we'll find a plan that works.

My hope is that if something in you is asking for this experience now, we can honor that invitation while it's still fresh and create a retreat that supports the season you're currently in.

Yes. After you've reserved your retreat with a deposit, we'll talk through the payment option that feels best for you.

You're welcome to pay in full, or you may choose a monthly payment plan of up to six months. My hope is to make this experience as accessible as possible while also honoring the time, care, and preparation that go into creating your retreat.

If cost is the only thing standing between you and this experience, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm happy to explore what might work for both of us.

Once you've deposited, here's what you can expect:

1. We'll schedule a planning call.
This is our chance to get to know one another a little more deeply, talk through what is drawing you to this experience, and begin exploring what you might want to focus on during your retreat.

2. You'll complete a short intake questionnaire.
There's no need to have everything figured out. The questionnaire is simply a gentle way of helping us uncover what feels tender, important, or ready for attention right now.

3. We'll choose your retreat dates and create a rhythm that feels supportive.
Together, we'll decide how many nights you'd like to stay, what your payment preferences are, talk through travel details, and begin shaping an experience that feels personalized to you.

4. You'll select your meals and share any preferences or dietary needs.
I'll stock your kitchen with the meals, snacks, and beverages you've chosen so you can arrive feeling cared for from the moment you walk through the door.

5. Then...you wait for your Homecoming.
In the weeks leading up to your retreat, you may notice thoughts, feelings, or longings beginning to surface. That's perfectly normal. The retreat often begins unfolding long before you arrive.

When your retreat begins, you won't be stepping into a preplanned program or a one-size-fits-all itinerary. You'll be stepping into a space that has been thoughtfully prepared just for you.
