About this Event
Soft but Solid is a two-hour, small-group mini-retreat for women who want to cultivate healthier relationships with themselves and others by becoming more grounded, discerning, and emotionally attuned — without overextending themselves.
This experience is designed for those navigating the quiet tension between staying open and honoring their boundaries, between softness and self-trust, and who want to explore how their inner relationship shapes the connections they build outward.
Hosted in an intimate café setting, the evening blends guided reflection, gentle teaching, and intentional dialogue. The pace is unhurried, the group is intentionally small, and the focus is on awareness and integration rather than fixing or performing.
This is not therapy — but it is therapeutic.

- A gentler awareness of your needs, boundaries, and inner signals
- Language for discernment, emotional safety, and self-trust
- A grounded sense of connection — without pressure to overshare
- One personal insight you can integrate into daily life
- Curated goodies to extend the experience beyond the event
