2026 Women to Women Retreat
A day of connection, reflection, and renewal. There is something powerful that happens when women gather with openness, honesty, and a willingness to grow together.
Overview “One of the most beautiful sounds that I have ever heard is the sound of a beautiful, strong woman’s voice once she has discovered her true worth. She sounds empowered… she sounds confident… but most of all… she sounds free.” —Unknown
We are pleased to host our fourth annual Women to Women Retreat, a gathering dedicated to connection, reflection, and the power of women supporting one another. While many women in our community are connected through recovery, all women are welcome, regardless of where they are on their personal journey or what has brought them to this space. This retreat offers an opportunity to pause, reconnect, and spend time in meaningful conversation and shared experience with others. Recovery and personal growth are ongoing journeys that invite reflection, curiosity, and renewal.
Throughout the day, participants will engage in fellowship, hear from an inspiring keynote speaker, and take part in interactive workshops and mindfulness experiences designed to support insight, well-being, and authentic expression. Together, we will create space to listen, learn, and support one another—while celebrating the strength and wisdom that emerge when women gather in community.
