2025-26 Winter Retreat
Held in the Quiet of Winter
Winter Retreat
Lake Arrowhead, CA
January 15-18, 2026
If you’re a woman who feels worn down by stress and are longing for a safe, intimate space to release the overwhelm, restore balance, and reconnect with yourself, then join us for a retreat where you’ll come away with emotional renewal, soulful clarity, and empowering tools like Reiki and detox-inspired self-care to support your journey long after you leave.
Imagine This…
You’re sitting in a quiet, intimate circle, wrapped in the warmth of the cabin as soft winter light filters through the windows. Outside, the stillness of the mountains surrounds you, but inside, the atmosphere is alive with gentle anticipation.
You close your eyes as you’re guided into a meditation, feeling layers of tension slowly begin to dissolve. The busyness, the stress, the noise you carried with you all seem to fade into the background.
And then, something shifts. A wave of warmth moves through you — subtle but undeniable. You feel yourself opening, softening, receiving. This is your Self-Love Reiki Attunement — a sacred placement awakening your ability to channel healing energy for yourself.
In that moment, you realize: you’ll never again be without this gift. Reiki is now yours to carry — a tool for grounding when life feels chaotic, for soothing when emotions rise, and for remembering your light when you feel disconnected.
As you open your eyes, you see the soft smiles of the women around you, each of you holding this same gift — a lifelong practice of self-love. You feel a deep knowing in your heart: this is exactly what you came here for.
Why You Should Be Here:
This retreat is a carefully curated experience for women just like you — women who give so much to others yet are longing for a pause, a safe space, and a return to their own center. In the quiet beauty of winter, you’ll be guided into practices that restore your body, soothe your mind, and reconnect you with the light you’ve always carried inside.
Over three soul-nourishing days, you’ll soften into self-love through restorative yoga, Reiki, and mindfulness practices. You’ll be held in a supportive, intimate circle of like-hearted women who understand the weight of overwhelm and the longing for peace. And you’ll leave with tools and rituals that keep serving you long after the retreat has ended. From the very first evening, you’ll feel the difference: your shoulders dropping, your breath deepening, and your heart opening to the possibility of renewal. This is your invitation to step out of the noise of daily life and into the quiet, where your true self can be heard again.
Here’s What Awaits You:
From Overwhelm to Renewal: Through gentle yoga, Reiki, and mindfulness, you’ll release stress and tension so you can feel balanced, rested, and rejuvenated.
From Disconnection to Inner Clarity: With self-love Reiki attunement and guided reflection, you’ll reconnect with your inner wisdom and return to a place of peace.
From Pressure to Permission: In this intimate circle, you’ll soften into self-love without expectation, finally feeling safe, seen, and fully yourself.
From Stress in the Body to Ease: Restorative yoga, reflexology, and Reiki healing will help release what your body has been holding, leaving you lighter and more at ease.
From Isolation to Connection: Around shared meals, fireside circles, and gentle conversation, you’ll experience the joy of authentic sisterhood and support.
For the woman ready to release stress and reconnect with herself, this retreat offers the renewal, clarity, and self-care tools to carry love and balance into the year ahead.
The Venue: Your Winter Sanctuary
A Retreat in the Heart of the Mountains
Nestled in the tranquil beauty of Lake Arrowhead, you’ll find yourself surrounded by tall pines, crisp mountain air, and the quiet hush of winter. Here, the stillness of nature mirrors the stillness we’ll invite into your heart. This snowy mountain setting is the perfect backdrop for softening into self-love and reconnecting with the light within.
Where Nature Meets Nurture
You’ll step into a peaceful environment that feels worlds away from the chaos of daily life, yet close enough to easily arrive. Imagine sipping tea on a covered porch as snowflakes drift down, or walking scenic trails that invite quiet reflection. The rhythm of the mountains will gently guide you back to balance, supporting everything this retreat promises: rest, renewal, and reconnection.
The Cabin: Cozy, Modern, and Intimate
Your Home for Transformation
You’ll be amazed at how the newly renovated cabin combines modern comfort with rustic charm. Spacious yet cozy, it’s been designed with your peace in mind. From the inviting living room with its crackling fireplace to the open kitchen that becomes a hub for shared meals and learning, every detail supports both connection and quiet solitude.
Spaces to Gather and to Rest
You’ll love the variety of spaces for reflection and community. Curl up by the fire for soulful conversations, join a group cooking class in the bright kitchen, or step outside to breathe in fresh mountain air. The blend of communal gathering areas and private corners makes it easy to choose what you need in the moment — connection or quiet.
Your Own Cozy Sanctuary
When it’s time to rest, you’ll retreat to beautifully designed bedrooms with hardwood floors, clean linens, and calming details. Each room is single occupancy (with the option to share if requested), giving you the privacy to fully unwind and restore. No detail has been overlooked to ensure your comfort and care.
A Place You’ll Carry With You
This isn’t just a cabin — it’s the container for your transformation. As you leave, you’ll carry not only the memory of snowy mornings and cozy fireside evenings, but also the inner peace and clarity this sacred space helped you uncover.
The Cuisine: Nourishment for Body & Soul
You’ll find that every meal on this retreat is as restorative as the practices we’ll share together. Our menu is carefully crafted with detoxifying, high-vibrational foods designed to leave you feeling light, energized, and deeply nurtured — without ever sacrificing flavor or satisfaction.
From your first bite, you’ll notice the love and care woven into each dish. Imagine savoring a warming bowl of Reviving Detox Soup with Paleo Garlic Bread Sticks, feeling nourished from the inside out. Picture yourself enjoying a cozy morning with a slice of Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Bake — gluten-free, protein-rich, and the perfect balance of comfort and vitality. And when evening arrives, you’ll gather around the table for a delicious plate of Mediterranean-Style Sautéed Shrimp and Zucchini, a dish that feels both light and luxurious.
One of the highlights of the weekend will be preparing a detoxifying meal together as a community. As we chop, stir, and laugh in the kitchen, you’ll also learn how to infuse your food with Reiki, turning the act of cooking into a sacred ritual of self-love. These shared meals will become more than nourishment — they’ll be experiences of connection, healing, and joy. And you’ll never need to worry about what’s on your plate. Whether you’re gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, or have other needs, your dietary preferences will be honored with care. Every detail has been thought of, so you can relax, savor, and enjoy the beauty of food that truly supports your healing journey.
The Journey: A Path Back to Self-Love
This retreat is more than a getaway — it’s a carefully guided journey designed to help you soften, release, and rediscover your light. Each practice and experience has been chosen to support you in letting go of stress and stepping into deeper self-love, so you can return home feeling grounded, clear, and whole.
Restorative Reiki-Infused Yoga With my guidance, you’ll experience gentle, restorative yoga infused with Reiki energy — a soothing combination that helps you release tension stored in the body and calm an overactive mind. This isn’t about pushing or striving; it’s about allowing yourself to soften, to receive, and to remember what it feels like to be held in deep peace.
Self-Love Reiki Attunement One of the most profound moments of the retreat will be your Self-Love Reiki Attunement. Through this sacred process, I will guide you in receiving a healing placement that awakens your ability to give Reiki to yourself. This isn’t just a retreat experience — it’s a tool you’ll carry with you for life, a way to nurture and restore yourself whenever you need it most.
Reflexology for Self-Care Part of loving yourself is learning how to care for your body in simple, lasting ways. During our reflexology session, our in-house reflexologist will guide you through easy techniques to release tension, improve circulation, and soothe your nervous system through your feet. You’ll leave not only feeling restored, but with a new self-care ritual you can use anytime.
Guided Winter Hike Wrapped in the quiet beauty of Lake Arrowhead, you’ll join me for a mindful hike where nature becomes your teacher. With every step, you’ll feel yourself letting go of what no longer serves you, breathing in fresh mountain air, and reconnecting with the stillness that winter so beautifully reflects back to us. (weather permitting)
Reiki-Infused Cooking Together we’ll step into the kitchen, not just to prepare food, but to create a ritual of self-love. As we cook side by side, you’ll discover how to infuse each ingredient with intention and Reiki energy, transforming a simple meal into a nourishing, healing experience. With laughter, warmth, and connection filling the room, this practice becomes about more than food — it becomes a way of feeding both body and soul.
A Gift of Massage To help you soften even more deeply into self-love, you’ll also receive a relaxing massage from our on-site therapist. It’s a chance to release what your body has been holding and to feel the gift of being cared for fully.
This is your invitation to step into the quiet, embrace the journey back to yourself, and return home with the lasting gift of self-love.
Beyond the Retreat: A New Way of Being
Feeling stretched too thin? Tired of pouring your energy into everyone else while your own needs keep slipping to the bottom of the list? Carrying stress in your shoulders, hips, or heart that never seems to let up? Or maybe you just know it’s time — time to pause, to breathe, and to come home to you.
I thought so.
This retreat is your sacred reset. Over three nights in the quiet beauty of Lake Arrowhead, you’ll be guided to soften the overwhelm, release the tension your body has been holding, and reconnect with your own inner light. Through Reiki, restorative yoga, and gentle self-care rituals, you’ll restore balance in your body and calm to your mind. Through reflection, connection, and nourishing meals, you’ll remember what it feels like to be fully supported — without having to give a thing in return.
And the best part? You won’t just feel better for a weekend. You’ll leave with tools you can take home and use every day — a Self-Love Reiki Attunement that allows you to give yourself healing energy whenever you need it, reflexology practices that release tension and ground your body, and rituals to turn even the simplest acts (like cooking or walking outside) into sacred self-love. Imagine stepping back into your life feeling clear, calm, and connected. Your body lighter, your heart softer, and your spirit stronger. That’s the gift of this retreat — one you’ll carry with you long after the snow has melted.

A Final Word From My Heart
My vision for Held in the Quiet of Winter is simple yet profound: to create a sacred space where you can finally lay down the weight you’ve been carrying and remember what it feels like to be held, supported, and deeply loved.
I imagine us gathered together in the warmth of the cabin, laughter spilling across the table, the snow quiet outside as we breathe deeply into stillness. I see you softening into self-love — not as something you have to strive for, but as something already alive within you, waiting to be remembered.
This retreat is my invitation for you to pause the noise of daily life and step into a container of healing, reflection, and renewal. My deepest hope is that you’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to yourself, carrying tools and memories that will continue to nourish you long after we part ways. If your heart is longing for rest, for reconnection, and for the warmth of women’s community, I would be honored to welcome you into this circle. Together, we’ll soften into the quiet and awaken the light that’s always been within you.
This isn’t just another retreat — it’s an intimate gathering where space, silence, and connection are honored. With only a handful of women, every moment feels personal, every experience shared, and every heart seen. This is your invitation to slow down, be nurtured, and rediscover the love that begins within.
