HARVEST YOUR AUTHENTICITYA Retreat to ReConnect, Empower & Grow
FOR MOTHERS & DAUGHTERS
(11-18 yo)
July 29th- August 2nd, 2026
Dear Momma,
This modern world is designed to separate us from one another and from nature.
A culture with screens and social media, without intentional moments of meaningful connection makes adolescence and adulthood feel ever more lonely and disconnected.
As mommas and daughters we feel the pulse of overwhelm in this quickly changing world, for we hold the same unconscious desire as our daughter…
To be fully seen, heard, loved and accepted for all that we are and are not.
SO MOMMA, ARE YOU READY…
to pause the rush and lean fully into your daughter in a meaningful and unforgettable way?
To reconnect, empower, and co‑create a shared language of giving and receiving, creating a resonate space in which she feels safe, and so do you, to be truly authentic, in a world that often is not?
THE INVITATION:
Join a sisterhood of mothers and daughters who choose bonded over busy. We’ll expand our sense of divine belonging and kindle the wild, holy spark within.
As modern elders, we’ll model the sacred rebellion: reclaiming our sovereign, empowered presence, awareness, and intuition.
Together we will help them remember that they are not alone, that there is something far greater that they belong to, remembering that the journey from head to heart is the most important.
SELF-ACCEPTANCE IS THE ROOT OF TRUE BELONGINGThis retreat is for the Mother who recognizes her daughters struggles as an important part of her own growth. Who desires to support her daughter in the process of maintaining & reclaiming her Truth, Vitality & Authentic Expression, her Sacred Being & Divine Belonging.

SHE IS ONLY YOUNG ONCE.
THIS PRECIOUS, INFLUENTIAL TIME MATTERS.

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 for an extra charge.

This is possible. Please reach out to us.

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 host a retreat. And as a host and facilitator this retreat is priced to where each person is paid for their services, and the time they put in, plus administration fees.
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, fill out this form please.

No we do not. However, we are happy to send out an email to other participants 2 weeks before the retreat to see if anyone would be willing to carpool.
