Own Your Sh*t: A Bold Women’s Retreat to Turn Your Mess Into Momentum

⭐️ This is not your typical retreat.

⭐️ This is not about pretending everything is fine.

⭐️ Not about surface-level positivity.

⭐️ And definitely not about glossing over the messy parts of life.

Because the messy parts are often where the real power lives.

The Own Your Sh*t Retreat is designed for women who are ready to stop circling the same patterns and start using their experiences as fuel for what comes next.

This is about:

• Owning your patterns
• Owning your story
• Owning your power
• Owning your next move

And just as importantly… learning what isn’t yours to carry anymore.

Because part of owning your sh*t is realizing when you’ve been carrying someone else’s.

Many retreats focus on relaxation and escape.

This one focuses on clarity, momentum, and real movement forward.

Yes, there will be reflection. Yes, there will be meaningful conversations.

But there will also be:

• energy
• laughter
• practical tools
• honest conversations
• real breakthroughs

You won’t just leave inspired. You’ll leave with insights and practical steps you can implement Monday morning.

Because your past experiences — even the messy ones — can become compost for growth when you’re willing to work with them honestly.

This experience unfolds over three days, giving you time to reflect, connect, and integrate what you learn.

Kick off the retreat with an informal evening designed to help everyone settle in and connect.

This relaxed gathering is a chance to:

• meet the retreat facilitators
• connect with other participants
• enjoy drinks and hors d’oeuvres
• ease into the weekend together

This evening sets the tone for the retreat and helps create the supportive atmosphere we’ll carry into the sessions on Saturday.

This is the heart of the retreat.

Optional early morning activities begin at 7:00 AM for those who want to start the day with intention.

Breakfast begins at 8:30 AM, and the retreat sessions start at 9:30 AM.

Throughout the day you’ll participate in a series of powerful sessions designed to help you see clearly, own deeply, and move forward confidently.

The day includes:

• Four facilitated retreat sessions
• Guided reflection and journaling
• Group discussion and connection
• Personal integration time

Meals included:

• Breakfast
• Lunch
• Dinner
• Snacks

This day is designed to be energizing, reflective, and deeply meaningful.

Sunday morning is about integration and connection.

You’ll have the option to participate in lighter activities such as:

• a guided nature walk
• meditation
• light yoga
• quiet reflection

We’ll close the retreat together before noon so you leave feeling grounded, clear, and ready for what’s next.
