A Holistic & Restorative Retreat For Women

Welcome To Our 2nd Annual Overnight Retreat

This powerful retreat is centered around allowing the pause of life to happen. A moment where women can come together to rest, learn and reconnect back to themselves.

 

In the woods of Chenoweth Trails in the Western part of Darke County, Ohio, women will come together for the first time in ceremony and in kinship. We set down our to-do lists to immerse ourselves in nature, to learn new skills and knowledge, and to begin the journey of deep inner healing.

 

This is a weekend retreat, and where there will be limited commuter passes available, it is highly encouraged that all participants spend the night if they are able to. We will open the container of the weekend ceremoniously, and we will end it just the same. There is something deeply powerful when women come together. Plus your ability to truly receive the relaxation benefits of the weekend depend greatly on your ability to “let go” and be present in the here and now. We understand that for many life must go on and a commuter option is what works best for you. With that being said we are selling limited commuter passes, please read below for more information regarding commuters.

Below you will find a daily schedule with times allocated for the entire day, but rest assured this weekend is about REST! If your soul and body are telling you to skip all of the classes, and go for a 5 hour hike into the woods, or to sleep your day away then you have all of the freedom to do so. This is for YOU, and you only. So follow the schedule as you see fit. Come to whatever classes speak to you. Make this your own personal retreat.

If you feel the call, the silent whisper, close your eyes, let your head rest on a bed of moss, let your nostrils fill with the smell of fire, and your hands feel the rhythm of the sacred head of a drum. Listen, sing, rest my sister, rest.

​​Option 2: There is also space for 10 camping tents, in which you will bring all of your own camping supplies plus tent.

Option 3: Camper/RV camping in the parking lot- Note: there will be no water or electric hook-up

  • *All of those sleeping on site will have access to the bathrooms and showers.

  • *When you purchase your ticket online please specify your desired type of lodging, whether it be Yurt (top or bottom bunk preference), blow up mattress on the floor of the yurt, tent camping, or camper/RV camping in the parking lot.

  • *Remember, this is all first come first serve. You will receive an email after purchasing your ticket confirming your lodging request. If we are unable to accommodate your first preference due to those options already being taken we will then contact you to discuss a second option. 

  • *Due to our lack of handicap accessibility regarding lodging, it is recommended that if you have physical limitations that inhibit your ability to sleep comfortably in a bunkbed, on the floor or tent camping, please consider purchasing our commuter passes. Please also note that this includes the use of CPAP machines, or issues with heat. The yurts are air conditioned, and do have electric capabilities to plug in things such as iPhones but due to the full nature of the yurts with people sleeping on the floor, and peoples overnight bags there will not be room for a lot of extras. Please consider this when you are purchasing your tickets.

In purchasing a Commuter ticket you are letting us know that you will NOT be sleeping on the premiss and you will be returning home every evening.

 

Only 20 Commuter Tickets Available. Why you ask? Because the container that we are holding is sacred, and we do not want to overwhelm that container with a lot of ladies coming and going.

So you will be highly encouraged to dress for ALL weather. In the event that there is stormy weather, aka tornados we will have adequate safety measures in place.
