Why This Retreat Might Be Exactly What You Need

Imagine this:

It’s early October in the North Carolina mountains. The trees are shedding what they no longer need, releasing with ease and grace. You’re doing the same—exhaling years of pressure, grief, and overwhelm in the crisp mountain air.

And in that stillness, something shifts.

You begin to feel… lighter.
More grounded.
More you.

This isn’t just time away—it’s a return to yourself.
A chance to pause the noise and the expectations, and finally listen to what your body and soul are asking for now.

This retreat is about healing—yes—but it’s also about celebration.

Celebrating how far you’ve come.
Celebrating your strength and softness.

You’re Ready to…

🌿 Step out of the shadow of cancer and into a life that feels more balanced, free, and yours
🌿 Learn how to listen to and trust your body again—without fear or frustration
🌿 Open your heart to joy, connection, and the power of being truly seen
🌿 Heal the emotional weight that lingers long after treatment ends
🌿 Celebrate the badass you’ve become—scars, softness, and all
🌿 Create balance in your body, your energy, your nervous system
🌿 Open your mind to new ways of being, moving, resting, and thriving

What You’ll Take Home (Without Packing a Thing)

💫 A renewed connection to your body and its wisdom
💫A calmer mind and heart
💫 Practical tools for staying grounded in your real life
💫 Deep connection with other survivors and thrivers who just get it
💫More clarity, more confidence, more calm
💫 Permission to stop pushing—and start receiving
💫 The knowing that you’re not stuck—you’re becoming

💗Day One: Arrival + Exhale

You’ll arrive to warm welcomes, soft beds, and the smell of something nourishing from the kitchen. As you settle into the stillness of the mountains, your nervous system begins to exhale. We’ll gather in circle, grounding into this sacred container and setting intentions for what you're ready to receive—and what you're ready to let go of. You’ll go to bed with stars overhead and space in your chest you didn’t even know you needed.

🌿 Day Two: Release + Root

This is a day for shedding. With the help of guided movement, nature walks, and soul-opening conversations, you’ll begin to release the heaviness—overwhelm, anxiety, self-doubt, and the pressure to “have it all figured out.” You'll root into your body, reconnecting with the parts of you that have been silenced or sidelined. As the trees drop their leaves, you’ll drop the expectations and open to what’s real, right now.

🔥 Day Three: Love + Expand

This is the heart of the retreat. Through sound healing, yoga, and deep rest, you’ll tap into your intuition and rediscover your inner strength. We’ll reflect, share, laugh, maybe cry a little—and begin rewriting the story. This is where you start to feel the shift. Not just in your body, but in your being. You’ll begin to see what’s possible beyond survivorship: balance, confidence, and a life you actually want to be living.

🌈 Day Four: Become + Return

The final morning is full of softness and strength. You’ll gather the insights, friendships, and clarity you've received and begin to integrate it into your real, everyday life. You won’t leave with a checklist—you’ll leave with a felt sense of trust in your body, and the knowing that you’re ready for what’s next.

You came seeking rest. You’ll leave with so much more:
✨ Confidence
✨ Connection
✨ Balance
✨ A body you trust
✨ And a life that feels like yours

Who This Is For

This retreat is open to all women cancer survivors and thrivers, whether you’re newly out of treatment or decades into life after cancer. You don’t need to be “more healed” or “in a better place”—you just need to be ready to receive.

If you're longing for…

✨ Rest without guilt
✨ Community without the BS small talk
✨ Movement without pressure
✨ Healing without fixing yourself

…this retreat is for you.
