Do you find yourself daydreaming about a quiet moment because every day feels like a sprint through endless responsibilities?
Do you end your days exhausted, feeling as though you’ve had no moment to yourself?
If you are sighing in agreement, it’s a clear sign you need more than just a weekend off.
The Refresh & Flourish isn’t just a getaway; it’s an invitation to press pause on the relentless pace of daily life. This is about stepping into a space where you can truly breathe, recharge, and rediscover yourself again after being buried under the weight of “have-tos” and “must-dos.”
This is where you heal and where you finally put yourself first.
At the Refresh & Flourish Retreat, you’re not just another attendee; you’re the focus of
every element designed to rejuvenate your spirit and reignite your zest for life.
Step away from the chaos and into a world where your only task is to be taken care of.
This is where you refill your cup, so you can return home not just recharged, but transformed.
“The retreat was absolutely life changing! I was able to make realizations about my health and relationship to food, and learn the tools to change it.
“The impact on your life is priceless. If this has been on your bucket list, or is just spur of the moment, all I can say is… you won’t regret it!“
Imagine sitting down to a meal where every detail has been taken care of. No thinking about what to cook, no dishes to wash afterward—just the joy of being served a plate that feeds your soul as much as your body. This is your time to be taken care of, to heal, and to be nourished in every way possible.
