Designed for people who rarely get the chance to step away.
Thoughtfully curated around your caregiving experience and the life you are working to sustain.
Upcoming in-person experiences
Tell us you’re interested
Planning time away as a caregiver can be a challenge. We completely understand. That’s why we go the extra mile to plan every detail around you. To get started, let us know your preferred location and time of year for an upcoming retreat experience by requesting a reservation. We offer full day, two day (lodging optional) and three-day (with lodging) options. This is not a commitment or a payment. It allows us to invite you into early planning conversations.
2. Have a private conversation
After you submit your reservation request, we will follow up with you to schedule a private screening conversation. This is where we provide all the details you’ll need about how we include you in our planning process, including pricing (based on location, time year, and duration). This conversation is designed to:
Share how the retreat planning process works
Understand your caregiving role and current needs
Ensure the retreat environment will be supportive for you
Answer questions and ensure alignment on both sides
3. Join a cohort
We intentionally curate each experience to match the needs of those in attendance. Each retreat consists of small groups (8-15 people) to ensure intimacy and cohesiveness. Once we match you with a cohort that aligns with your preferences, you can submit a 20 % deposit to secure your spot (only requested once a viable cohort is forming).
How to attend:
Our commitment to you
This process is intentionally thoughtful, not to create barriers, but to help ensure that each experience feels right for the people in the room. We pay close attention to fit, preferences, and the dynamics of each cohort so participants can arrive feeling comfortable, understood, and at ease.
