Return to What Grounds You
A 2-night restorative retreat in nature for women who are ready to exhale, reset,
and reconnect with themselves and the earth.
September 26–28, 2025 . Bristle Ridge Sanctuary, Ohio
spaces are limited, you’re invited.

THE INVITATION
You’ve been carrying too
much for too long.
The noise. The “shoulds.” The pressure to keep going when your body is begging for a pause.
Maybe you’ve tried to rest — but the world doesn’t make it easy to truly unplug.
What if, for one weekend, you gave yourself full permission
to let go, be held, and come home to yourself?
THE SPACE
A Hundered Acres of Quiet Magic
Tucked away in the rolling forests of Bristle Ridge Sanctuary, this space was chosen for
one reason: to help you remember your rhythm.
Sleep in cozy yurts under the stars. Wake to birdsong. Walk along wooded trails and
pause beside still streams. Here, you’re not expected to do — just be.
Heated yurts and private forest clearings. Firepits, walking trails, and stargazing domes.
Nourishing meals prepared with care. A space held with intention and compassion
THEÂ RHYTHM
Your Weekend Flow
While every moment is optional, here’s a glimpse of the rhythm we’ll share:
- Evening arrival & welcome circle by the fire
- Morning mindful movement and Qigong practice
- Forest bathing sessions with gentle invitations
- Guided meditation & reflection prompts
- Open space for journaling, rest, or solitude
- Evening connection and quiet integration
- Nourishing meals and heartfelt conversation
No pressure. No performance. Just presence.
YES PLEASE
You’re Not Alone in Feeling
Tired of Being Tired
“I give to everyone, but never
feel truly replenished.”
“Even when I rest, I can’t seem to quiet my mind.”
“I miss the version of me that
felt light and grounded.”
“I crave nature but haven’t made space for it in ages.”
“I’m in a season of change, and
I need clarity.”
“I want to feel calm without earning it first.”
“I’m holding so much—and I’m not sure how to put it down.”
“I long for silence that
isn’t lonely.”
“I just want to feel
like me again.”

more you
