For nearly 10 years, the Next Chapter Retreat has created space for accomplished women to step away from the noise of everyday life and explore a simple but powerful question: What’s next for me now? This intimate, thoughtfully curated experience offers time to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your own thoughts, dreams and realities. Through guided reflection and meaningful conversation in an intimate setting, you’ll explore what alignment looks like in this season of life. Some women leave with a tangible next step. Others leave with deeper clarity and the insight that unlocks their next move. What everyone leaves with is something increasingly rare: the space to listen to themselves again.

Life rarely gives us uninterrupted time to pause and consider what’s next. This retreat creates that space—away from responsibilities, expectations, and constant motion—so you can slow down, reflect, and explore the question with honesty and intention.

Through reflection and discussion, many women uncover the unseen headwinds—expectations, beliefs or assumptions—that have kept them from fully considering what they want next.

Through guided prompts and structured reflection, you’ll have the opportunity to explore what’s shifting in your life, what you’re drawn toward, and what may be ready for change. These moments often uncover insights that everyday busyness keeps hidden.

Within a small group of thoughtful women, conversations unfold naturally and respectfully—without networking, titles, or performance. The environment encourages openness, curiosity, and perspective as you explore possibilities together.

You won’t be expected to arrive at a perfectly defined plan. Instead, many women leave with something more useful: a clearer understanding of what’s next for them, what matters most in this season, and the insight that unlocks their next step.

The retreat offers simple tools and prompts you can carry forward—helping you continue reflecting, noticing, and choosing with intention as the next chapter of your life unfolds.
"This was a truly impactful weekend that has reshaped my thinking (head and heart) for what I want my next to look like and to be. I came away with new energy, new goals, and executable strategies to focus more on me in this next chapter."
"The breath work really helped settle my mind for the coming work. The exercises helped drive reflection. The quiet time allowed to set with myself. The sharing time allowed me to express my needs which can be hard for a two (Enneagram type). Sharing was cleansing and spiritual. Appreciate the no judgement zone and support. The Enneagram was really helpful in understanding who I am at the core."
"All of it worked! I loved the reflection time, group time and one on one time. It provided gentle guidance for us to get to the things about ourselves and our situations that were underlying. It wasn't so full of things to do that it felt stressful."
"The retreat was a wonderful opportunity to slow down, reflect, and connect with other women navigating their own transitions. I left with a deeper appreciation for where I am now and the freedom to continue evolving without needing to have my next chapter completely figured out."
