Homecoming

What It Is

This retreat is a chance for women to get away for a weekend—either by herself or with a group—without all the swank of a spa or the hassles of an adventure vacation. It's about women coming home to themselves—individually and collectively—for the first time ever or for the hundredth time. It's about reconnecting with yourself, with nature, with other women, and with your higher power. It's about laughing, crying, breathing, experiencing, witnessing, giving and receiving—all of the above or none of it. It’s about you and your choices. You get to decide who you want to be and how you want to live your days in this place.

This retreat is NOT about shoulds. In fact, this retreat is a should-free zone, so be forewarned. It's not about what others want you to do or say. It's not about what others think. This retreat is NOT for women looking for evening turn-down service or chocolate mints on the pillows. Yes there are flush toilets, hot water, showers, and electricity—all that—but there aren’t phones in the rooms, televisions, or room service. This retreat is for women who know how to get cozy in jeans, a good pair of wool socks, a favorite fleece and appreciate a crackling fire in the fall.

Homecoming was designed with the belief that every woman has her own notion of what “coming home” is. We hold a deep trust and reverence in that idea and you will see that play out in many ways throughout the course of the weekend. You will see some women choose to wander in the woods or sit by the water, some will howl at the moon or laugh until they cry amidst their best friends, and still others will choose to engage in animated discussion or activity and then retreat to a quiet place to process their experience. Some women will take advantage of everything this retreat has to offer, while others will choose not to. This is all the process of coming home. So welcome home.
