We see you out there working so hard, getting it done, making sure everyone in your life is taken care of. Now it’s YOUR turn!

It’s your turn to focus on letting go of all the doing you’ve been doing, the pressure you’ve been enduring. It’s your turn to replenish and nourish yourself. It’s your turn to just BE. Here, at Women’s Wellness Weekend, you are free to relax, to rediscover you, the REAL you. To unwind, to unpack all that’s inside of you. To allow yourself to be heard and seen. To hear and see yourself (perhaps for the first time in a long time).

“I came with the intention of relaxing but did so much more - I had the opportunity to make so many connections with some really great women, I had beautiful insights about myself and learned a wealth of information that I will carry on with me. The logistics of the whole weekend were as if you all have done this many times before- everything was easy to navigate and well thought out. A successful and meaningful event. I look forward to hearing about next year!” — Jonna K. from MD (2024 Women's Wellness Weekend participant)

Friday has arrived and it's time for a little celebration-woohooo!

Women from 8 states have signed up for our retreat so far! Yes, E I G H T, ocho, huit!

In a world that often demands us to live curated, "perfect" lives, let's reclaim what it means to be seen—fully. Messy, honest, imperfect. Just as we are.

So, if you’re craving this kind of space too—one where we show up, not to perform but to simply BE—you're our people.

Are you ready to feel truly connected, alive, free, fully present?

Renew your mind, uplift your spirit and create meaningful connections with other heart-centered women with us here in Cape Charles, VA April 4-6th.

If your heart is whispering "yes," I invite you to join us.

Registration ends March 21st.

Open your gift! FREE gift for signing up for Women's Wellness Weekend ESVA before February 14th!

As a complimentary gift to you for signing up before February 14th, I will send you a meditation that I recorded to support you in making tough decisions in life. If you're feeling stuck in a certain area of life, not knowing which way to go, I feel you...it's a tough place to be in (and oh have I been there before!). Your mind might be ruminating making it difficult to focus on what's truly the right move for you. The techniques in this experiential meditation in time will help you develop clear discernment and self-trust, to make decisions from a place of love vs. fear, and to move forward confidently with your whole heart.

Please accept this gift from my heart to yours.

A beautifully written piece about friendship…the true definition of sisterhood! A safe space full of authenticity and encouragement like this is the environment we endeavor to create at Women’s Wellness Weekend ESVA. If this speaks to you, we’d love for you to join us April 4-6th. 💕

Normalize telling your friends you love them.

Normalize cheering your friends on and being a place that celebrates each other’s achievements on a regular basis. Normalize checking on each other. Normalize saying hey “this happened, and I’m kind of upset by it, but I want to come to you first instead of letting it mess our relationship up.”

Normalize creating circles of complete trust, and normalize listening more than you speak.

Normalize appreciating your friends. Normalize compliments. Normalize text threads that legit look like a fan page where everyone gushes over each other and encourages each other like crazy. Make it awkward. Let them know you care (because if you aren’t saying it—they probably don’t know.)

Normalize giving more than you take. Normalize running errands together, and hanging out in sweatpants for the chillest, cheapest, most spontaneous girls nights ever.

Normalize having so much fun that you forget to take a picture, and you don’t care whether everyone on Instagram knows about your night out or not, because you were there. You lived it. You know it was amazing, and that’s enough.

Normalize talking about ideas, goals, fears, struggles and the real stuff significantly more than you talk about other people, gossip or shallow nonsense.

Normalize bragging about your friends behind their back.

Normalize including more people and building bigger tables.

Normalize grace, and forgiveness, and believing the best. Normalize giving everyone the space to be themselves. Let your friendships be the one place where you can relax, breathe deep and not stress about having to suck in, hide your flaws, or pretending to be somebody you’re not.

Normalize praying for each other, helping each other and dropping off Diet Cokes for no real reason.

Normalize friendship. Authentic. True. Long-lasting, sturdy and safe friendship. The world needs more of it. We need more of it and we need more of each other.

Love,
Amy
