Q: Who is this retreat for?
A: Homecoming Retreat is for women who are looking to reconnect with themselves, fill their cup, and rise into their next season of life with greater wellbeing, inner peace, clarity and confidence. Women of all ages (18+) and walks of life are welcome.
Q: Is it ok if I come alone or with someone I know?
Many women attend our retreats on their own—and by the end of the retreat, they often leave feeling like they've found lifelong friends. Our community is warm, welcoming, and deeply supportive, so you'll never feel alone. If you're coming with a friend or family member, the retreat is also a beautiful opportunity to deepen your connection together.
Q: Is is ok if I haven't attended a retreat before?
Absolutely! No prior experience is necessary. Homecoming Retreat is intentionally designed to meet you wherever you are on your journey- whether you're just beginning your personal growth path or have been doing your inner work for years, this experience will support you in coming home deeper and rising to your next chapter.
