This is for you, if you are looking for an experience with like minded women in a sacred and healing space.

You desire time away from your busy life and distractions so you can get clear, centered and connected.

You know you need a reset that will bring you home to yourself and give you a fresh vision for your future.

You are ready to explore what’s been holding you back, how you can release your past, and move into your future with tools that will carry you forwards.

You long for a transformational experience in a beautiful and peaceful environment, filled with fun, laughter, delicious food, connecting conversations, guided workshops, gentle yoga and mindfulness practices.

This will be a sacred and safe space for you to look within, connect deeper to your inner wisdom, and allow yourself the time to be present with yourself in a new way.

Connect.

The last two years have been many things, but one thing we all have experienced is increased isolation. Come and connect with a small group of like-minded women who will listen, reflect, offer themselves, and help you to feel heard and seen on a level you may not have ever experienced before. A sisterhood that reminds you that you’re not alone. It’s through our collective telling of our stories that we heal each other. We are all walking each other home. Connect with yourself in a deeper way. Unlock your inner wisdom.

Release.

Bring your anger, your pain, your doubt, confusion, anxiety, exhaustion, worry, insecurity. Bring all of you. This will be a time to release what you’ve been carrying that wants to pass through you. Lay down your heavy burden. It’s time.

Heal

Experience the healing power of connecting with your body, mind, and spirit in new and deeper ways. Express yourself through writing, movement, and storytelling. Heal yourself by immersing in the power of being safely held in your humanness.

Recharge.

Nature is a powerful healer, and here, you will be immersed in the magical properties of earth, fire, air and water. Old growth forests will speak to your soul. Gather around fire and release your primal divine feminine. Breathe the pure air of the Pacific Northwest. Listen to the water as it cleanses you.

Create.

Tap into new visions and dreams for your future. Design your destiny. Unleash your creative force that will show you what’s next. Surrender to your Inner Being who has a divine plan for your life. Go forwards with clarity, vision and a renewed commitment to yourself.

This is exactly what I need! Join the Waitlist!

DAILY YOGA

Start the day with a yoga practice that will get you centered, connected and ready for the day. End the day with a peaceful connection to your mind, body and soul as you integrate the learnings from your day. Suitable for all levels.

JOURNALING

Whether you already journal or not, discover the power of observing yourself through writing. Our journaling rituals will give you structure and inspiration to see yourself in a new light.

MEDITATION

Experience the magic of collective meditation. You will be guided through powerful and transformative meditations that will bring you into the present moment, feel the peace of transcending your worries and fears, and hearing your inner wisdom like never before.

WORKSHOPS

Gather. Share. Learn. Grow. Morning and afternoon workshops will deepen your learning, grow your awareness, give you opportunity to share, and gain new perspectives on yourself and your life. Val guides you in safe, supportive and connecting group coaching that will fast track your growth and shift mindsets and perspectives quickly and radically.

PERSONAL COACHING

If you would like to have a private session with Val during the retreat, you can book it for an extra $100. Take advantage of this opportunity to dig deeper into yourself, gain powerful new perspectives, experience being held fiercely in a safe space, and be challenged to trust yourself more than ever.

NATURE

Take advantage of lots of down time to walk the forest, breathe in the pure air, sit by the river or simply relax in the lodge. This is not a fast paced retreat. It is designed so that you can rest and recharge, whether by yourself or with others. You get to decide. Nature is waiting to heal you and you will be surrounded by Mother Earth in a rare and powerful way.

NURTURE

Nurture your body with healthy meals designed for your individual needs. Enjoy cocktail hour with your sisters. Howl at the moon. Jump into the river. Who knows what might happen when you let yourself go?

Last years retreat was epic! 

Here’s a little video where I share some of my thoughts and feelings about this life changing experience:

"The Women's retreat that I attended on Vancouver Island was a wonderful experience where I felt close to nature, renewed, refocused and so encouraged to find my voice. I can honestly say I looked forward to every session with curiosity and compassion (for myself and our cohort). It was magical in so many ways. Val did a wonderul job in establishing a safe space for everyone and keeping our focus on positive healing and sharing. It was life changing and we went from 9 perfect strangers to a truly supportive, loving and celebratory sisterhood in 4 short days!"

— Shanna


"Val’s retreat was life-changing. Val created an emotionally safe place amongst a diverse group of 9 women. The space that Val created welcomed vulnerability, growth and deep connection with self and others. There were so many teachable moments that proved transformative and I came out of Val’s retreat with a depth of clarity, self awareness and knowledge about myself that I will take with me as I move forward in the world. Since the retreat I’ve been able to heal much of my inner trauma and work on my relationships with loved ones in an authentic and genuine way. Everybody I know should do this retreat"

— Kerryn

"This retreat changed my life in a very deep way. For the first time in decades, I felt like I belonged. I felt like I fit in and was part of an amazing group of women... all in the same boat. Sharing the same pains, loss, wins, heartaches... and moments of truth and epiphany! I have made progress and changes in a deep and meaningful way as a result of my time there this weekend."

— Kristen

"I cannot recommend a weekend retreat with Val highly enough. The womens retreat was a complete mind, body, spirit experience with tears, joy, release, growth, and connection. This is the best investment I’ve ever made in myself, and continues to be transformational in my life."

"This retreat was life changing and I would highly recommend everyone to do something like this for themselves. It will blow your mind away how people from all different walks of like are just like you ! The work you do on yourself with Val and the supportive people around you is something you’ll never forget."

"Val, you are amazing. The retreat was life changing. I came back rejuvenated, fulfilled and looking forward to the next chapter. I finally feel fully unstuck and like I can move forward as me!!!! Thank you for sharing your gift with me!"

Here’s how you know if the Retreat is right for you. Don’t look at ‘what’s happening in your life’. It has nothing to do with that. Look at what you want. What needs to change. What you want more of. The women who come to the Retreat are in all different places in their lives, but they all have one thing in common: You are hungry for more. You’re determined to release the past that has been weighing you down and holding you back. You know you need to change your mindset and be free from the inner critic. You feel like you’ve lost yourself. You long for a deep connection with yourself, to love yourself again or maybe for the first time. You wonder what’s possible if you finally are free from the past and from your limitations.

Normal! Investing in yourself is scary! Maybe you’ve never done this type of thing before, or maybe you’re used to spending your money on the family, the kids, or ‘practical’ things (that new dishwasher lol). Here’s why investing in yourself is always the best investment you’ll ever make: You are the only thing standing in your way. You are the only thing holding you back from your potential and purpose. When you invest in your healing and transformation, you are giving yourself the support and resources you need to grow into the woman you need to be to get everything you want. Investing in yourself is also a BIG sign to the Universe that you mean business, and things start to happen in a major way! Want more evidence that this is the best investment you will ever make? Go check out the testimonials from the women who attended last year!

I’ve got you covered babe! Once you check out you’ll get all the travel info you need to feel confident in your plans. I will also be creating a carpool connection for anyone who wants to travel with a buddy. And if I get enough women who want to carpool I’ll arrange a shuttle. Whatever your travel situation, I will make sure you arrive safely!

We have two private rooms available with two beds in each room, in case you want to bring a friend! The main sleeping area is a big loft with five beds. Here’s my challenge to you: instead of seeing this discomfort as a reason NOT to come, see it as a reason TO come! Growth happens outside of your comfort zone. Notice the tendency to want to stay comfy, and deny yourself an experience that will change your life because of it. Now, see that discomfort as a sign that you will grow, remind yourself that change is good, and take the leap.

Yup. At the last Retreat, I asked the women if they’d had negative experiences in groups of women previously and EVERY ONE of them raised their hand. Unfortunately, most of us have woundings around being in groups with women, as far back as our elementary school days. This is why I’m passionate about creating safe spaces for women to gather in community and heal those wounds. One of the first things I do when we arrive is teach about how to keep yourself safe, and how to be safe for others. Once that safety is established, magic happens!

Our yoga instructor, Jill, is an expert at creating fun, inclusive yoga classes that are perfect for everyone at every level! Whether you’ve never done a yoga class before or you’re an expert, the classes will meet you there. She teaches with humor, fun and deep compassion. You will love it!
