Find clarity. Together.
Through nature, ritual, and community, give yourself the space to find clarity to build what is true to you.
October 15 - 18, 2026
Reconnection to self is the prerequisite for aligned action in a world and system that was not designed with everyone in mind —and that, for many, is no longer working as promised.
In 2025 alone, more than 455,000 women exited the U.S. workforce, not because of a lack of ambition or capability, but because the cost to their well-being, values, and sense of self was too high.
That data point reflects a broader truth:
Many people are quietly stepping back from systems that demand too much and give too little.
We don’t need to be complicit anymore to a system that wasn’t designed for us. We don’t need to follow the script.
This time of uncertainty holds a special opportunity—a chance to rewrite the script altogether.
You have the autonomy and the agency to create the environments you lead and operate in.. Your power is built on your experience, skills, passion… and that missing piece—clarity.
This retreat is not about serenity for its own sake or ambition for its own sake. It’s not a escape from reality.
It is about creating the conditions to return to yourself, so you can move forward with clarity, integrity, and agency.
What we’re gathering for:
To slow down and hear what’s true
To acknowledge what’s no longer working
To name the gap between who we are and the life we’re living
To rekindle self-trust
To experience community as a corrective to isolation
To leave with a grounded sense of where you are and what comes next
To tap into the power of communal ritual to find a parth forward individually and collectively
We’re told that we should do so much of this work alone. But it’s in community through nature and ritual that we can remember the power of interdependence.

Location and setting
We didn't choose Sowilo because it's beautiful — though it is. We chose it because it creates the conditions this work requires.
Nestled between the Adirondacks and Vermont's Green Mountains in Cambridge, New York, Sowilo holds geodesic domes and tiny houses set deep in the trees, a full Nordic spa circuit — sauna, cold plunge, salt room with red light and infrared therapy — a dedicated yoga and sound healing studio, and farm-to-table meals prepared on site.
Nature has always been one of the most reliable pathways back to yourself. The forest, the heat, the cold, the stillness — these aren't amenities. They're part of the practice. We chose this place because every element of it supports what we're here to do: slow down, feel what's true, and make space for what comes next.
Less than 3.5 hours from Manhattan, Boston, and Providence, RI

4 hours from Rochester, NY

This retreat is for individuals who are moving through life on the verge of clarity — sensing that if they just slowed down enough, made enough space, something true would finally come into focus. Individuals who are done being complicit in a pace and a system that wasn't designed for them, and are ready to stop long enough to hear what's actually there.
You've likely done a lot of this work on your own. This time, you don't have to.

Each day is a blend of shared and self-guided time. Together, we'll move through guided sauna and contrast therapy rituals, sound healing, forest bathing, and facilitated reflection. On your own, you'll have space to rest, explore the land, journal, or simply be still.
We arrive on Thursday and ease in gently. We go deeper on Friday and Saturday — into what's been, and what's next. Sunday we close with intention and send you home grounded.
