A one-day waterfront retreat designed for the woman who is tired of putting herself last and is ready to reconnect with herself again.
August 15th, 2026 | Gulf Breeze, Florida
Maybe You Recognize Yourself Here...
You're everyone's go-to person, but rarely ask for help yourself.
You keep saying you need a break, but never seem to take one.
You can't remember the last time you had a full day where no one needed anything from you.
You feel guilty spending money, time, or energy on yourself.
You know something needs to change, but you haven't had the space to figure out what.
You've gotten so good at taking care of everyone else that you've lost touch with what you need.
If you're nodding your head right now, this retreat was created with you in mind.
This is Your Reset
This retreat is designed to be a catalyst for change.
A day where:
no one needs anything from you
nothing is expected of you
you don’t have to perform, fix, or hold it all together
Just space to breathe… to soften… to come back to yourself.
Let go of who you’ve had to be and return to who you’ve always been
A return to your authentic “Summer self”
Before the roles.
Before the expectations.
Before you learned to self-abandon.
There is a version of you that feels:
free
playful
expressive
fully herself
This day is about reconnecting with her.
Barefoot, sun-warmed, and free— your summer self is waiting.
A Day that Feels like Summer Used To
Think back to those late summer days from childhood…
When time stretched endlessly.
When you could just be.
When joy felt simple and natural.
This retreat recreates that feeling.
You’ll have space to:
sip something refreshing in the sun
laugh, move, and play
create freely (watercolor, journaling, or your own hobby)
rest without guilt
float, nap, read, or do nothing at all
No pressure.
No schedule to keep up with.
Just gentle structure and spacious freedom.
The Setting
A peaceful home on the water with…
open green space for movement
a dock for rest and play
cozy spaces to slow down and unwind
a firepit for evening ritual and reflection
A space where life naturally slows down.
What You’ll Experience
Trauma-Informed Yoga, Authentic Expression, Creative Play. Deep Rest.
This day is intentionally designed to support both depth and softness.

Read this:
The women who need this retreat the least are often the women who already know how to prioritize themselves.
The women who need it most are usually the ones trying to talk themselves out of it.
If spending a day resting, playing, and reconnecting with yourself feels uncomfortable...
that might be the clearest sign that you've been carrying too much for too long.
This is your permission to pause.
To step out of the roles you’ve been holding.
To breathe in the summer air.
To remember what it feels like to just be you.
You are allowed to take up space in your own life.
