Spaces to gather, create, breathe, reconnect, and remember what truly matters.
There is something beautiful that happens when people gather with openness, creativity, presence, and honesty.
The pace softens. The pressure lifts.
And slowly, something more real begins to emerge: wonder, connection, creativity, stillness, joy, belonging, aliveness.
They are about returning to yourself.
To the part of you that feels most alive in nature.
The part of you that creates without perfectionism.
The part of you that longs for beauty, meaning, spaciousness, and honest connection.
The part of you that has always been there.
So many spaces in the world ask us to perform.
To produce. To improve.To keep up.
These gatherings offer something different.
A slower rhythm.
A deeper breath.
A chance to reconnect with yourself, your creativity, and the simple beauty of being fully alive.
Not pressure. Not perfection. Not self-improvement.
But presence.
Imagine…
walking through the woods as sunlight filters through the trees
painting intuitively without worrying if it’s “good”
gathering around a table with tea, flowers, and honest conversation
listening to music beneath the stars
laughing deeply
breathing fully
creating simply for the joy of creating
feeling yourself soften into the moment
This is the energy of these spaces.
Grounded.
Creative.
Soulful.
Playful.
Deeply human.
A place where you can exhale. A place where you remember: you do not have to earn belonging.
Each gathering unfolds organically, but experiences may include:
creative exploration & intuitive art
storytelling & reflective conversation
journaling & poetic reflection
nature immersion & walking meditations
Human Design & intuitive insight
music, movement, stillness & rest
seasonal rituals & creative gatherings
authentic connection & shared reflection
beauty, wonder, play & imagination
No artistic experience is needed.
This work is not about doing things perfectly. It’s about feeling fully alive while doing them.
Again and again, I’ve witnessed what happens when people are given space to slow down and simply be themselves.
People breathe differently.
Their creativity returns.
Their bodies soften.
Their joy resurfaces.
Their inner voice becomes easier to hear.
And somewhere in the middle of painting, walking through the woods, laughing around a table, or sitting quietly beneath the sky…
they remember: “Oh… there I am.”
you’re longing for more beauty, creativity, and presence
you miss wonder, imagination, or play
you crave slower and more meaningful ways of living
you want spaces that feel nourishing instead of overwhelming
you’re drawn to storytelling, nature, creativity, and honest connection
you want to reconnect to yourself without pressure or performance

"If you need a life reboot or a path to find your light, I highly recommend attending one of Shannon's nature retreats. I went on her May retreat and I literally feel reborn. I'm lighter, happier, and refueled. I attribute the shift to the creative exercises and outings we did together. I'm so glad I accepted her invitation to this life-changing experience."
"My retreats with Shannon as the facilitator have been a blend of self exploration through art, yoga, group meetings, deep meditations and ample time allotted for solitude and reflection in a natural, peaceful setting removed from daily routines, busyness and expectations. These periods of time have allowed deep spiritual and personal growth which have rippled through my life long after leaving retreats. There are no words to truly express how grateful I am to be a part of this growing circle of women."
"The best part of the retreat for me was meeting other women who were doing their own soul-searching, and giving themselves time and space to turn inward and search. The loveliest surprises were the group sharing sessions where I found I was not so alone in my life journey, and getting to know some really incredible women who inspired me to live my life more consciously, and who reminded me to feed my creative self more often. Thank you for gathering women on your retreats. We really can help one another enjoy our life journey more fully."
"Shannon's retreat was amazing and I'm taking away lessons that I will use every day in my life. The silent time meditating calmed my spirit and my soul. The friendships I made will never be forgotten. The activities with the group were inspiring. also had time to read, journal, and get to know myself better. I am so happy that I made the decision to go. I will definitely do this again and tell others about it."
"I believe kismet led me to Shannon’s Retreat and I thank destiny for leading me exactly where I needed to be. I stumbled upon Shannon’s website/retreat information while browsing the internet for ‘wellness retreats’. I reviewed the information and just felt in my ‘spirit’ that this was something I needed to do for myself. I am so happy I followed my heart’s lead, despite being a little apprehensive as a drove up to the retreat house. All of those anxious feelings dissolved when I met Shannon for the first time - it felt like I was greeting an old friend. She is the most loving, compassionate, genuine and fun woman. The rest of the retreat weekend followed the same feeling of an open embrace - from the other women attendees, to the ladies who helped in the kitchen, to the gentleman who tended the grounds - all were filled with love, kindness and a healing energy. I left feeling safe, loved, and quiet in my heart and head. If I could give all of my girlfriends a beautiful gift it would be this retreat! Thank you again Shannon for your gift of empathy and knowledge. I hope our paths will cross again. I will always hold you close in my heart."
"My retreat with Shannon was love and acceptance. It just was. The space and people wrapped me up in this big hug and entered into my heart: what I was feeling, what I had been carrying, and whatever I arrived at the doorstep to discover. They supported me the whole weekend long with lots of laughter, hugs, and delicious silence and nourishment, for both my soul and body. It was the perfect space to unwind and unwrap. Where else can we find that kind of connection (or the power of that many intuitive, loving women!) in our ordinary, busy lives?"
