Black Forest, CO
Winter Retreat
January 30 - February 2, 2026
For women rebuilding their lives after high-control religion.
It's Not Just a Retreat
There’s something deeply transformative about stepping away from everyday life and spending a few days in a home filled with women who just get you. Over three soul-nourishing nights surrounded by the Colorado mountains, you’ll be held in the company of women who understand what it’s like to lose a community and still ache for connection, and who are learning, like you, to let their truest selves emerge.
Together, we’ll remember, laugh, cry, share stories, and welcome back the parts of ourselves we once kept outside the circle. We’ll rediscover what it feels like to be safe, not because life is certain (have you seen 2025?!), but because we’ve learned how to feel rooted within, no matter what’s unfolding around us. Because when women gather like this, your whole inner world starts to come alive again.
RECONNECT
TO yOURSELF
In this space, you'll embark on a transformative journey to rediscover who you were always meant to be, free from the constraints of past beliefs. You'll reconnect with your truest essence, embracing your power, your voice, and your path forward.
REBUILD
COMMUNITY
On this retreat, you’ll cultivate new, authentic relationships with like-minded women who understand your journey. Together, you’ll create a supportive sisterhood where vulnerability, trust, and shared healing lead to profound connection and growth.
RECLAIM
your power
This is your opportunity to step into a new chapter, free from a past that no longer serves you. Through deep reflection and intentional practices, you’ll reconnect with your core desires and values, allowing you to confidently reclaim your inner power.

The Vibe
Imagine waking up to the soft hush of snow outside, a warm mug in your hands, and the smell of breakfast drifting from the kitchen. Over the next three days, we’ll gather in a cozy mountain home tucked among 3 acres of forest, surrounded by women who understand what it means to begin again after leaving religion.
This retreat isn’t about dissecting the past as it’s about celebrating who you’ve become and what’s still unfolding. Together we’ll share meals, laughter, and moments that remind you how good it feels to belong. There will be time for reflection, creativity, movement, and soulful conversation, all woven between rest and play. Expect fireside evenings, guided group activities, outdoor walks, journaling prompts that spark new insight, and plenty of space for connection that feels real and unforced.
By the end of the weekend, you’ll feel inspired and deeply connected, not just to the women around you, but to yourself.
The Retreat House
This beautiful retreat house has seven bedrooms, three bathrooms, a game room, a home gym, and its own sacred space/reading nook. There's plenty of room for everyone to feel at ease. Nestled on three wooded acres, deer and foxes often wander through the backyard, adding a touch of wild magic to our days. It’s the perfect place to gather, share stories, and soak in Colorado’s quiet charm. Here, the focus is on real connection; the kind that blossoms when we slow down, open up, and let ourselves be known.

The Gathering Spaces
The heart of this home is made for gathering. The living room is where we’ll circle up for reflection, rituals, and those soul-deep moments that catch you by surprise. The kitchen will be our communal hub, a place where stories are swapped over simmering pots and meals are made with love (and just the right amount of chaos). Step out back to three acres of winter woods, a quiet sanctuary where we’ll wander, breathe in the crisp mountain air, and remember our wild, unshakable selves. Inside, the game room invites laughter and play because healing gets to be fun, too. Every corner of this home holds space for joy, connection, and coming alive again.
