Annual Women's Retreat on Mother's Day Weekend at Belknap Hotsprings Resort
Reconnect with Yourself This Mother’s Day Weekend
As women, we spend so much time nurturing others—this weekend is all about nurturing you. Imagine a peaceful escape along the McKenzie River in Oregon, where you’re surrounded by nature, guided to release stress, and encouraged to step into your power and authenticity.
This retreat isn’t just a getaway; it’s a space to reflect on what truly matters to you. Through restorative yoga, guided movement, and heartfelt circle discussions, we’ll explore how societal expectations have shaped us and create room for self-acceptance and joy.
You’ll share laughter, connection, and meaningful moments with a group of like-minded women who understand the pressures we face. Whether you’re looking to unwind, rediscover your voice, or simply take a breath, this retreat offers the perfect chance to pause, recharge, and leave feeling renewed and inspired.
Take this time for yourself—you deserve it.
