The things that make you feel most like YOU.
What if you had a few days where you didn’t have to carry all of that alone?
A few days where you could simply show up as you are, without needing to explain, defend, or have everything figured out.
That’s the kind of space I want to create.
There’s an energy that happens when compassionate people come together to witness, encourage, and support one another.
When you can share what’s on your heart without worrying about how it will be received.
When someone else says, “I understand,” and you realize you’re not the only one navigating these experiences.
And when you’re surrounded by people who see your strengths, sometimes before you can see them yourself.
I believe that kind of connection can help us remember who we are.
It can help us reconnect with the gifts and talents we’ve always had, the things that matter most to us, and the possibilities we may have stopped imagining for ourselves.
This retreat isn’t about someone telling you what your life should look like.
It’s about creating space for you to discover what feels right for YOUR life.
And beginning to trust yourself enough to take the next step.
For many families, the holidays bring up a lot.
There may be gatherings with people who don’t fully understand or accept your child.
Relationships that feel different than they once did.
Conversations you’re dreading.
Boundaries you’re still learning how to navigate.
Or grief over what you hoped certain relationships would look like.
As we approach this season, I keep thinking about how meaningful it could be to gather before stepping into all of that.
To spend a few days reconnecting with yourself.
To remember what matters most.
To feel supported in the choices you’re making.
Not because we can control how other people think, feel, or behave.
But because we can learn to trust ourselves in how we choose to respond.
Imagine heading into the holidays feeling a little more connected to your own voice, your values, and the person you want to be.
That’s something I’d love for you to take home.
While I’m leaving room for the experience to unfold naturally, here’s a glimpse of what I’m imagining.
DAY
Arrive at our home in Flagstaff, get comfortable, and begin connecting with the people who will be sharing this experience.
We’ll gather for a meal, spend time getting to know one another, and begin exploring our intentions for the days ahead.
We’ll close our first evening with a sound bath.
DAY
A day devoted to meaningful conversations, reflection, and reconnecting with what matters most.
We’ll explore the things we’ve been carrying, the parts of ourselves we want to reconnect with, and what we may be ready to approach differently.
There will also be time to rest, journal, walk, and simply enjoy being away from your everyday responsibilities.
We’ll gather again for an evening sound bath.
DAY
A day to explore what feels possible for you.
We may spend time together enjoying the natural beauty around Flagstaff, or you may choose to enjoy some quiet personal reflection.
We’ll continue exploring what we’re learning about ourselves and what our next meaningful steps might look like.
We’ll close our final full evening together with another sound bath.
DAY
We’ll gather one last time to reflect on our experience, share what we’re taking with us, and begin thinking about how we want to carry those insights into everyday life.
Then we’ll say goodbye for now, knowing our connection doesn’t have to end here.
One of the things that matters most to me is that this experience doesn’t simply end when we leave Flagstaff.
It’s one thing to feel connected, supported, and inspired while we’re together.
It’s another to bring that feeling into everyday life, where the responsibilities, relationships, and challenges are still waiting for us.
That’s why I’m planning to include follow-up group integration calls after the retreat.
We’ll have opportunities to reconnect, share how things are going, talk about the steps we’re taking, and continue supporting one another.
Because you don’t have to figure out what comes next on your own.
Your retreat investment is planned to include:
Accommodations at our Flagstaff home
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner during our time together
Evening sound baths
Guided group experiences and personal reflection
Time to rest, explore, and connect with nature
Follow-up group integration calls after the retreat
Travel to and from Flagstaff is not included.
Interested in bringing someone with you?
I’m also exploring shared-room options for guests who would like to attend with a supportive friend, sister, or loved one, which may allow for a reduced individual investment.
Please reach out and we can talk about what might work best.
Who is this retreat for?
This first gathering is being created especially for mamas of transgender and nonbinary children, as well as people within their circles of support. If you’re wondering whether this retreat is right for you, I’d love to talk.
Do I need to come with someone?
Not at all! You’re welcome to come on your own. Part of the beauty of this experience will be the connections we create together.
Can I bring a friend or family member?
Possibly! If you have a supportive sister, friend, or loved one you’d like to bring, please reach out so we can talk about available accommodations and whether it’s a good fit for this gathering.
Will I have my own room and bathroom?
This retreat takes place in a private home, with shared bathrooms and a variety of sleeping arrangements. We’ll talk through the available options before you make a commitment.
Do I have to participate in every activity?
Absolutely not. You’ll be invited to participate in group experiences, but there will also be time for individual reflection and rest. You’re welcome to engage in whatever way feels right for you.
How do I know which dates to plan for?
I’m currently gathering interest and availability for several dates in November. If you’re interested, please reach out and let me know which dates might work for you.
What if I have more questions?
I’d love to hear from you. You don’t have to decide anything before reaching out.
