What does a Confidence To Rise Retreat Look Like?

Support, clarity, and a place to breathe within a small group of like minded people. A place to be reminded you are not alone. A place that holds no judgement -only understanding, compassion, connection and fun!

When life feels chaotic and exhausting, our retreats offer a chance to slow down, settle your nervous system, and move from chaos to calm. This is not about fixing, forcing, or controlling change, it’s about learning how to pause, respond instead of react, and rebuild confidence from a grounded, compassionate place. Each retreat is tailored to different journey’s and offer unique options for fun and relaxation.

When you build connection and lead with steadiness and love, you naturally become a more positive influence in other’s lives. Together, we explore practical, evidence-based tools that help you strengthen connection with others and learn how to communicate with greater clarity and confidence.

Life will still happen. Hard moments will still come. But you'll leave with the confidence and practical tools to rise, respond differently, and keep moving forward with strength.

You don't need a perfect life to feel at peace. You need the confidence to rise through an imperfect one.

The retreat was great. Perfect escape from my reality. Nice to have the support and speak with people that have been through similar experiences. 

The retreat was very casual. We kind of went with the flow of things. I really enjoyed the bushcraft too. It’s great to learn new things I can put to use. I learned lots of new things and different approaches on how to handle the current situation I’m in. 

The location was great. The mountains always have a calming effect. The drive out there was relaxing and on the drive home I reflected on the day. I’m grateful that I was able to attend. The setting was great. The small group size made it very comfortable and intimate. We had everything we could want or need. Very accommodating. Lunch was great and the outside activities were a lot of fun.

Nothing is black and white and everyone is on their own journey. I need to remind myself that the person I love is still inside and I need to be supportive and I didn’t know what that meant. But now I have new tools to try. Nothing is going to be easy and we have a long road ahead. But I felt like I had tried everything. I like the idea of supporting his recovery with compassion rather than anger. I have a lot of work to do on myself and this has motivated me to do just that. 

I really want to thank you and your team for having me there. I also love the gifts we received. The hoodie, notebook and pen. It was unforgettable. Thanks for being selfless and wanting to help others that are struggling. You’re going to help change the world for the better. The world needs more people like you. 

Thank you Melissa for your teachings and the knowledge you shared. Learning about the bears, cougars, tracks and branches, grass and just the conversations to be aware of your surroundings is so important. The feathering was one of my favorites, learning about the fire. So many things I forgot and it brought back a lot of childhood memories for me. Rediscover Play.

The biggest takeaway is believe in yourself, you can do it. I’m constantly growing and I’ve attended retreats workshops of all kinds. This by far was my best and joyful experience. The group, the food, the teachings, just feeling the love by all.

The Women’s Wilderness Weekend was such a blast! Not only did we learn some incredible  skills like fire starting, building shelters with tarps, proper bear spray use, but we also had the chance to do some outdoor yoga, a leisurely nature walk, and fabulous girl talk and cooking around the campfire. Highly recommend to all ladies with any level of outdoor skill! I’ll definitely be going again, and I’m bringing friends!

Thanks for an amazing day yesterday. Everyone had a blast and learned so much. I know everyone walked away with more confidence too. Thank you. You will definitely be seeing us again!

We learned so much and enjoyed our time with you and your son - my son came home and taught his siblings how to light fires and is already talking about when we can join you again!
