A space to let go of the outside and connect with your inside in the company of other women - create, connect, and celebrate!
About this Event

In the chaos of the world, we often forget to stop… to breathe… to connect with ourselves.

But we also forget to truly connect with others. We move through life surrounded by people yet can still feel alone—because when we’re not being true to ourselves, we’re not in true relationship with others.

This is your invitation to take a sacred pause, to honor who you are today, and to step into a space where real connection happens.


Join us for a transformative 3-hour retreat where you’ll find a safe space to feel whole again, reconnect with yourself, and be seen, heard, and supported by an incredible community of women. This is your chance to shake off the “shit”—the stress, the expectations, the world’s demands—and simply BE, in the company of others who are doing the same.


What to Expect:

  • A joyful, safe space to express, play, and honor yourself
  • Fun activities like games, collage-making, and storytelling that spark creativity and joy
  • Permission to laugh, to be silly, and to shed the weight of the world
  • A chance to identify who you are today, without compromising yourself for anyone or anything
  • A welcoming community where you’re free to just be YOU
  • Deep, meaningful connection with other women who see you and celebrate you


This is the beginning of something beautiful. Meghann and Kim are building a safe, playful, and empowering community of women—where we show up as we are, honor our true selves, and support each other in the most positive ways. Because when we come together, we heal.


It’s time to be YOU, safely—and in sisterhood.


Spaces are limited—reserve yours today and come play with us!

Date & Time: May 17th, 1-4 PM

Location: WORK SPACE, 903 Main St, Manchester, CT
