KINTSUGI RETREAT FOR WOMEN
What if the things that have broken you don't need to be disguised?
What if instead they need to be noticed, and accepted with compassion?
What if repair isn't about becoming who you were before the break?
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. The cracks are not concealed. They are highlighted, becoming part of the story - and part of the piece’s beauty and uniqueness.
The weekend follows a gentle rhythm. You may find yourself thinking about your own life along the way. Or you may simply enjoy working with your hands. Both are completely welcome.
This is not a weekend claiming to “fix” anything. It’s not a weekend that requires you tell your story. And it is not a retreat packed full of activities that ends with you feeling as though you need another vacation when you get home.
Instead, it is an intentionally small and intimate (maximum 12 attendees), deeply experiential retreat designed to give you space to slow down, create, reflect, connect, rest, maybe even play… and perhaps see yourself and your story a little differently.

THE PROCESS
The pottery does not have to symbolize anything. But it may. The process gives us something tangible to work with. This retreat invites you to experience that process for yourself. The experience follows the Kintsugi arc. Each stage of the pottery process becomes an opportunity to pause and notice. You will receive a workbook with guided reflections for each step in the process.
The pottery does not have to symbolize anything. But it may. The process gives us something tangible to work with.
First, the break. Then there are pieces, followed by the process of figuring out how those pieces might fit together. Next, we begin the process of golden repair. Finally… integration.
The finished piece doesn't pretend it was never broken. The cracks remain. But they have become part of what makes the piece uniquely beautiful and uniquely yours.
Kintsugi doesn't ask us to make difficult experiences beautiful. It asks a gentler question: What meaning do we make of what has happened to us?
THE WEEKEND
Spacious.
The retreat will have a carefully designed rhythm, but it will not be packed from morning until night.
There will be structure around the Kintsugi journey and dedicated opportunity to process and share if desired. Mostly, it will offer plenty of space around it.

Kintsugi draws on therapeutic and reflective principles, but it is intentionally designed as a retreat experience rather than therapy.
The purpose isn't to diagnose, treat, or fix. The purpose is to create space: space to slow down, notice, create, connect, rest, and consider what you might want to carry forward.
No.
This is one of the most important parts of the experience.
There will be opportunities for reflection and facilitated conversation, but there is absolutely no requirement to share personal experiences, disclose something vulnerable, or process anything in front of the group. This is a time to honor yourself-
You can participate as deeply or as quietly as feels right for you.
You might journal. You might talk. You might pray or practice meditation. You might take a walk. You might sit with your pottery. You might laugh with other women. You might take a nap.
There is no right way to experience Kintsugi.
There can be—but it is invitational.
The Kintsugi process naturally raises questions about expectations, change, loss, identity, disappointment, resilience, acceptance, and becoming. There may be moments when something feels unexpectedly meaningful. There may be moments when you simply enjoy making something beautiful. There may be moments of laughter. There may be tears. There may be nothing particularly profound at all.
All of it belongs. Nothing needs to be forced.
The retreat will be intentionally limited to no more than 10-12 women.
Smallness matters. It allows the experience to feel intimate without feeling crowded. There is room to know the women you're sharing the weekend with, while still having plenty of space for yourself.
It allows the retreat to feel less like an event and more like an experience we are creating together.
Meals will be nourishing, delicious, and shared. There is something special about sitting around a table with others, without an agenda.
We will make room for good food, conversation, laughter, and the simple pleasure of being cared for.
Most dietary restrictions can be accommodated. Please reach out to inquire about specific needs.
Retreat pricing ranges from $1,895 to $2,795 per person, depending on a wide variety of accommodations. The cost reflects size of bed, private or shared room, and private or shared bathroom.
A non-refundable deposit of $500 is required to reserve your spot. Monthly payment arrangements are available for the remaining balance, with the final payment due March 1, 2027.
The retreat fee includes 4 days, 3 nights in the North Georgia mountains, gourmet meals and snacks, all Kintsugi materials, retreat amenities, and ample time for rest and connection.

If canceled between February 1st and February 28th (45+ days before start of retreat and Guest's place can be filled, a 25% refund will be issued (after $500 non- refundable deposit).
No refund will be issued if canceled on or after March 1st.
If the retreat must be canceled on the part of the Organizers for unforeseen reasons, a full refund will be issued. In this case, Organizers hold no financial responsibility for changes to airfare and other miscellaneous charges. Travel insurance is HIGHLY recommended to address these charges.
You don't have to arrive with a plan.
You don't have to know what you're going to discover.
You don't have to have a story to tell. You don't have to be ready to change.
You simply have to be willing to come.
Come to the mountains. Come to the table. Come to the pottery.
Come to the quiet. Come to the pieces.
And see what happens when we make room for repair.

PANAMA
An Enriching Retreat Designed to Nourish Your Mind, Body, and Soul

PANAMA: THE ETHICS OF SELF CARE
A Continuing Education Retreat for Healthcare Providers
This isn’t just time off. It’s time to reconnect with your professional purpose, restore your nervous system, and reflect on the ethical foundation of your work.
Many therapists wait until they're burnt out to prioritize their well-being. But true ethical care requires ongoing, non- reactive, attention to our internal state. This retreat helps you step out of survival mode and back into a rhythm of care that sustains both you and your clients. You’ll experience rest not as an escape, but as a practice in professional integrity.


Most CE trainings on ethics are dry, checkbox exercises. Not this one! Our workshops are immersive, experiential, and rooted in real-life clinical dilemmas—exploring the ethical implications of overextending ourselves, ignoring our limits, or working beyond capacity. You’ll leave with insights you can actually use in supervision, practice, and your own self-reflection.
The setting matters. And this island is intentionally selected for its stillness, natural beauty, and complete separation from everyday chaos. Wake up to ocean breezes, and fall asleep to the sound of the waves, nourish your body with chef-prepared meals, and calm your nervous system with hammock time, journaling, or a spontaneous swim in turquoise waters. This is a space where rest is not only permitted—it’s prescribed.
