What could change if you believed, TRULY believed, you mattered?
You Matter is our Spring 2026 retreat, and it starts with that question.
Rooted in the growing research on "mattering" — our deep human need to feel valued and to add value — this retreat invites you to turn that lens on yourself. Many of us are remarkably good at making the people around us feel seen and significant. We're less practiced at extending that same care inward.
Over three days (April 24–26, 2026), you'll join a group of women and three experienced, approachable coaches at a gorgeous lakeside home on Lake Anna. Our retreats are designed to balance group time and free time — guided sessions woven together with space to breathe, wander, and just be. Expect meaningful conversation, guided writing and reflection, creative expression, movement, and nourishing food. And yes — laughter, connection, and fun are very much part of the plan.
You don't need to arrive with answers. You just need to show up.
Is This Retreat For You?
This retreat is for any woman who is ready to stop putting herself last. If you spend your days caring for others — whether at home, at work, or both — you belong here.
You might be deep in the sandwich generation, holding everyone else together while quietly wondering who's holding you. You might work in human services, education, healthcare, nonprofit work, or leadership — giving everything to people and causes that need you. Or you might simply be a woman who knows something needs to change but isn't quite sure what.
If any part of this is speaking to you, that's reason enough to come.
This is also a meaningful investment in your professional life. When you understand what mattering feels like for yourself, you become better at creating that experience for the people you lead, serve, and support. Some participants use professional development funds to attend — ask us if you'd like more information.
Better Together
Bring a friend and share a room — there's something special about experiencing a retreat alongside someone you already trust. We'd love for you to have that.
