Awaken & Align:
A 4-Day Summer Retreat
We are on a mission to help impact-driven women step into a new way of being: balancing ambition with ease.
Many of us are the first in our families to reach this level of success, yet we often carry generational patterns of overworking, self-sacrifice, or feeling like we have to figure it all out alone.
It stops with us.
Awaken & Align Retreat is for women committed to Gentle Ambition, redefining success, living more intentionally.
This retreat is more than just a getaway; it’s a journey back home to you.
A Sanctuary for Your Mind, Body, and Soul
Imagine stepping into a sanctuary where time slows down.
Picture yourself surrounded by nature’s beauty—rolling hills, rustling leaves, vibrant wildflowers, and birds singing in harmony. The warmth of the sun kisses your skin, and the cool breeze gently whispers through the trees.
Through mindful practices such as Rest, Mental Fitness, and Yoga, you’ll nourish your body, soothe your mind, and amplify your energy.
We’ll hike through nature to reawaken your spirit, while creative sessions will open doors to your deepest dreams.
Come and join our summer retreat in this beautiful, peaceful setting. And leave feeling recharged, inspired, and empowered.
