Every woman holds an inner glow—a quiet but powerful spark that is uniquely her own. But in the midst of daily responsibilities and the ever-moving rhythm of life, that light can grow faint. It longs to be seen, tended, and rekindled.

Fireflies Retreat is your invitation to do just that, to blend light-hearted practices with soulful transformation, all in celebration of You. This weekend will be a sanctuary for self-love, deep connection, and the sparkle of sisterhood. It’s a chance to step away from the noise, reconnect with your truth, and reawaken the part of you that still believes in magic, wonder, and possibility.

This year, we’ve expanded the retreat to begin with a Friday evening Cacao Ceremony to welcome you into the circle as well as more time on Saturday, providing more spaciousness to integrate, connect, and play with possibility. Whether you're yearning to reignite your inner glow or simply carve out space to breathe, dream, and be, this is your sacred invitation.

  • The Power of the Summer Solstice

    Fireflies Retreat is held during the sacred window of the Summer Solstice, when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky and the Earth is bathed in light. This longest day of the year marks a moment of fullness, radiance, and life in bloom. It is a time when nature teaches us how to shine unapologetically, how to root into what’s true, and how to expand into all that we are becoming.

  • Celebration Under the Moon & Stars

    As dusk begins to fall, we are guided by the softer, more mysterious glow of the moon rising above us and the fireflies beginning their dance across the fields. They remind us that magic lives in the smallest moments, and that wonder is never far away if we simply choose to notice. They call us to soften, to dream, and to remember that light doesn’t always need to be loud to be powerful.

  • A Community of Wonder and Growth

    Fireflies Retreat isn't just a retreat—it's a celebration of sisterhood, self-discovery, and the joy of living. It's about seeing and being seen by others who share your desire to sprinkle magic into their lives and the world around them. Together, we will explore themes of joy, compassion, light-heartedness, and curiosity, nurturing these qualities within ourselves and extending them to those we love.

  • Join Us for An Enchanted Weekend

    Tend your inner glow and allow it to illuminate the world around you. Join us to slow down and embrace the childlike wonder that reconnects you with the enchanting fairy tale of life.

    Whether you are looking to ignite your creative spark, embrace your inner joy, or simply savor a respite from the hustle of everyday life, this retreat offers a sanctuary to explore, grow, and shine. Join us as we light up from within.

Nurture Your Light and Let it Shine

Nurture Your Light and Let it Shine

A Weekend of Inner Inquiry

Throughout Fireflies Retreat, you’ll be gently guided to explore meaningful questions that invite self-discovery and intentional growth.

Reflection Questions Include:

  • How can I deepen my love and compassion for myself?

  • Where am I being called to shine more brightly in my life?

  • What stories, patterns, or beliefs make me hide my light?

  • How can I support the woman I am becoming—body, mind, and soul?

This is a retreat for rediscovery. For clarity. For igniting the light within you that not only brightens your life, but creates a ripple of illumination in the world around you.
