What Kind of Retreat Is This?

In a wellness world full of labels and expectations, I take pride in what this retreat makes space for.
It’s not a course or a training.
Not something to master or achieve.
It doesn’t ask you to perform, produce, or even grow.
It simply asks you to slow down… and listen.
This is a space that makes room.
For what’s real.
For what your body already knows.
For peace—not as a concept, but as something you can feel.
What You Might Experience
Over five unhurried days, you’ll be gently supported by:
Guided rest and reflection
Forest bathing and slow wanders
Simple breath-based invitations for calm
Soothing sound baths and quiet moments of stillness
Shared meals, evening circles, and time to be with your thoughts
Just gentle rhythms, simple care, and a steady return to yourself.
What It’s Not
Sometimes it’s easier to understand what it is by clarifying what it’s not:
Not a yoga retreat—no flows, no poses, no pressure to move a certain way
Not a meditation retreat, though the forest will quiet your mind
Not a sisterhood retreat, though you’ll be gently held in community
Not a hiking or adventure retreat, though you’ll walk the land with reverence
Not a dance retreat, though you might feel your body want to move
Not a self-improvement or learning retreat, though you may remember what brings you home
This is not about categories.
It’s about peace.
What You Will Find Here
Nature immersion in a rare Hawaiian cloud forest
Warm, nourishing meals
Time to yourself each afternoon
Shared circles each night
Gentle rhythm and care
No pressure to be anyone but yourself
It’s simple.
It’s quiet.
It’s sacred.
It’s Softly.
A retreat for women who want to come home to themselves—through the land, through the quiet, through a kind of peace that doesn’t need to be earned.
Registration is open until July 4.
