A Retreat to ReConnect, Empower & Grow

FOR MOTHERS & DAUGHTERS (11-18 yo)

Wednesday, August 5th- Sunday, AugUst 9th, 2026 

 HARVEST YOUR AUTHENTICITY

Hi Momma,

Are you willing to pause the everyday rush and lean fully into your daughter in a meaningful and unforgettable way?

Are you ready to reconnect, empower, and create influential and guiding experiences that strengthens her desire to be truly authentic in a world that in many cases is not?

Do you desire to build a shared language of giving and receiving, strengthening your bond and the knowing of our divine belonging?

Your Invitation: 

Join a sisterhood of mothers and daughters who refuse to settle for busy over bonded, where we will strengthen our desire to be truly authentic, expanding our sense of divine belonging, kindling our wild and holy spark inside.

Together as modern elders we will remind our daughters that the true rebellion is a sacred reclaiming of our sovereign empowered presence, awareness and intuition. That while the journey from the head to the heart is the longest, it is the most important endeavor.

True belonging is not about changing who we are in an attempt to fit in. It's recognizing all that we are not, so that we can be all that we truly are; for Our sense of belonging is intimately tied with our own level of self acceptance.

This is for the Mother who sees her daughter’s magic.   

Who Recognizes her struggles ,

as an important part of her Own growth,

Who desires to support her in her process of

maintaining & reclaiming

her truth, vitality &

Authentic Expression.

  • The Teenage years are here and this retreat was a deep dive into the new days of our relationship. This space helped us to face and purge that which did not serve us anymore and to bring forth more authenticity, all while stepping into a new chapter with truth and love. It wasn’t for the faint at heart as so many mommas and daughters had big things to move through. We witnessed each other and were held by wonderful facilitators who held it down while many shared and moved through volumes of emotions.

    The authentic relating games and workshops Kari created were one of the coolest ways I've experienced therapy in a long time. Ecstatic dance & yoga led by Rapheala Fritz got us in our bodies and playful. While Adora’s essential oils opened and expanded us to meet these meaningful moments with greater authenticity. Katt kept us nourished with delicious and nourishing meals, while her songs continue to echo throughout our home.

    - Kaia, 12yo

    This retreat is Awesome! I would definitely recommend it! We had delicious home cooked meals and drinks. There is a hot tub and sauna! And I feel so much closer with my mom and myself. I’ve also made some great new friends, and feel more independent. Please come!

  • The coordination and intentionality of this retreat was exceptional and hit the mark! Thank you for welcoming us and for the space you gave us to experience this journey. I felt the love and support that I needed and saw the the love and support given freely to my daughter was sweet honey to my soul. The unique contribution of each leader made a huge difference, from the connection activities, aromatherapy, music, delicious food and dance. All of it was Amazing and Appreciated!

    This was a healing retreat on all levels. The content was deep, sequential, measurable and powerful. It broke open old trauma blocks and I leave this retreat with a new life of authenticity, love and awareness. This was a great blessing.

QUESTIONS

  • We leave this up to the mother, asking that she gauge her daughters ability to be attentive and participate in activities. Please take into consideration her maturity level.

    This circle does brush up against our comfort zone, but such is life. It’s important for our growth and our ability to see ourselves clearly.

    So please gauge your daughters readiness for such an experience.

  • This is common. But first I want to say, Did you know that by the age of 12 it’s estimated that 75% of our time spent with our children has already passed us by.

    Their brains are changing and are in a place of growth that is focused upon independence, and a desire to be more with their peers. They crave new experiences, yet often cling to what they know, because it’s comfortable. However, as their guides it’s important to steer them in ways that help them to see themselves more clearly. To show them healthier ways of being.

    They still need us to make decisions for them, creating healthy boundaries, meanwhile giving them space to learn and grow.

    This gathering will be a healthy balance of mother-daughter time, personal time and getting to know others.

    This experience will give them an opportunity few have ever had. And that is to really look ourselves and examine how we want to be treated and thus how we want to be in the world. It’s important.

    We encourage to have a heart to heart talk with her and share how you would love to spend this time with her.

    We hope you will join us!

  • Please reach out to us. While we will not be offering rides to airport and back, we can find someone to help you get here via carpool or an extra charge.

  • This is possible. Please reach out to us.

  • We do offer Discounts that come in the form of Early Bird Discounts. And Flash Sales.

    We have offered Discounts and Trades in the past, but honestly very few have held up to their end of the bargain and have followed through with what was needed and expected. So, we will be hiring the help we need, rather than having attendees doing some of those jobs. Plus, we really want our mothers to be focused on being apart of the retreat.

    With this, I feel called to say that Retreats are not as glamorous as people think they are. There is so much time and energy the host and facilitators put into this retreat which includes back end and administrative work, planning, purchasing, packing and so much more. It takes a lot of time and money to put on a retreat. And as a host and facilitator this retreat is priced to where each person is paid for their services.

    While we want to support Mommas who are struggling financially, if this is something you really feel called to do, please say a prayer and ask for the resources. Get creative and ask family members to give money to help you all make this happen. Work on a Go-Fund me.

    There is a plan to start a scholarship fund. If you would like to be placed on this list send me an email to Kari@seedsofsatya.com
