Let's Get Together
Befriending Your Body Retreat - June 26-28, 2026
After co-hosting my first retreat in January 2023, I wanted more.
More wise women, more shared laughter and tears, more time-outside-time where daily responsibilities fade away so we can hear ourselves—really hear our deepest, truest selves—and each other.
By fall 2023, I was planning a second retreat and seeding something new: a monthly community circle for women.
Two-and-a-half years later, that circle is going strong. So strong we’ve now got two circles a month to accommodate growing interest. I cherish and adore the women who co-create this sacred space with me.
I want everyone to experience this kind of life-changing, life-giving magic. In fact, hosting retreats was a heart dream of mine even before I started creating oracle decks in 2017. And it’s coming true in the most beautiful way!
This summer I’m returning to Prairiewoods in Hiawatha, Iowa, for my fourth retreat. It’s going to be incredible. I would love for you to join us.
I spent about a million hours putting together all the details here. It was fun, exhausting, and honestly? Humbling.
Partway through my webpage marathon, I realized I was ignoring my body’s asks for water, food, and movement in service to “finishing just one more thing.” Oh, the irony of doing this while simultaneously trying to wax poetic about building trust with and listening to one’s body! I slammed my laptop closed and changed gears. Because, of course, I’m forever learning, forever figuring out what balance looks like.
But I’m not embarrassed to admit this to you.
Living my wildest dreams has nothing to do with becoming an external authority figure for anyone else. I know the transformative power of vulnerability and showing up exactly as we are to meet any given moment. And I know my body and I are in a dance until the very end.
Navigating my thyroid health crisis in 2024-2025 taught me so much. I’ve written a little bit about it here and here. One of my biggest takeaways? I will never abandon myself again. My body and I are truly friends now. Sure, we’ll get our wires crossed, but we’ll always untangle and try again.
I’m drawing on everything I’ve been learning and practicing for 15+ years to put this weekend together. Inside the safety and comfort I’m intentionally curating, it’s up to you whether to gently wade in or dive deeply in exploring how it might look and feel and unfold for you to deepen friendship with your own body. We’ll balance time together and alone, community discussion versus contemplation, and opportunities for both movement and stillness.
In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing more. For now, I hope you’ll hop over to my website. It’s one of the prettiest offering pages I’ve ever designed, and I’m very proud of it! If you register by May 5, use the code EARLYBIRD to save $50. Scroll to the end of the webpage for other ways I’m doing my best to make the experience affordable and accessible.
