How to Host a Private Women's Retreat for Your Friends or Community
Have you ever wished you could gather the women in your life for something more meaningful than dinner out or another busy weekend?
Maybe you've thought about creating space to slow down, reconnect, laugh, reflect, and simply be together—but weren't sure where to begin.
The good news is, you don't have to plan the retreat yourself.
Hosting a private women's retreat is one of the most meaningful gifts you can offer the women you care about, and it's much easier than you might think.
What Is a Private Women's Retreat?
A private retreat is a customized wellness experience created specifically for your group.
Instead of attending a public retreat with people you don't know, you gather the women you already love and trust. I bring the retreat to you.
Whether your group includes six women or fifty, every retreat is thoughtfully designed around your group's needs, intentions, and desired experience.
Every retreat I facilitate is trauma-informed, nervous-system-centered, and guided with a gentle, invitational approach that honors each woman's individual experience.
Who Hosts Private Retreats?
One of the biggest misconceptions is that you need to be a coach, therapist, or retreat leader to host a retreat.
You don't.
Some of my favorite retreat hosts are simply women who recognize that their friends, family, or community need an opportunity to slow down and reconnect.
Private retreats are perfect for:
Lifelong friends
Women's groups
Spiritual groups
Book clubs
Business owners
Leadership teams
Wellness communities
Mothers, daughters, and sisters
Birthday or milestone celebrations
Women navigating a season of transition
Sometimes there isn't a special occasion at all.
Sometimes the reason is simply, "I think we all need this."
That's more than enough.
Where Can We Hold a Retreat?
One of the things I love most about hosted retreats is their flexibility.
Retreats can take place almost anywhere that provides a comfortable, welcoming environment for your group.
Popular locations include:
A spacious private home
An Airbnb
A yoga studio
A community gathering space
A retreat center
A private venue
If you don't already have a location in mind, I'm happy to help you explore options.
What Happens During a Retreat?
Every retreat is customized, but experiences often include:
Conscious Connected Breathwork
Gentle somatic movement
Nervous system education
Women's circles
Guided journaling
Reflection and integration
Sound healing
Meditation
Meaningful connection with other women
Everything is invitational.
There is never pressure to participate in any particular way. Every woman is encouraged to honor her own body and move at the pace that feels right for her.
Which Retreat Is Right for Your Group?
I offer several retreat experiences depending on what your group is looking for.
Rooted & Rising
Perfect for women who want to reconnect with themselves, restore their energy, and build resilience.
Women often leave feeling grounded, energized, confident, and connected.
Radiant Alignment
Ideal for women seeking clarity, renewed purpose, and space to reconnect with what matters most.
Women often leave feeling clear, centered, aligned, and inspired.
Radiant & Restored
A two-day retreat designed for women who are craving deep restoration and nervous system healing.
Women often leave feeling rested, restored, deeply supported, and renewed.
If you're not sure which retreat is the best fit, we'll decide together during our planning conversation.
What Does the Retreat Host Do?
Hosting is surprisingly simple.
As the host, you'll:
Invite the women
Coordinate a date with me
Help secure a location
Enjoy the retreat alongside your guests
I'll take care of designing and facilitating the retreat so you can fully participate in the experience.
Can You Travel?
Absolutely.
I love bringing Breathe Again Wellness retreats to communities throughout Washington and beyond.
Whether you're planning a retreat close to home or organizing a destination experience, I'd love to explore what's possible with you.
Why I Love Hosted Retreats
Some of the most meaningful retreats I've facilitated have been created by one woman who simply decided to gather the people she cared about.
There's something incredibly special about walking into a room where the women already know one another.
The conversations go deeper.
The laughter comes easier.
The support feels natural.
The experience often continues long after the retreat ends because these women remain in one another's lives.
It's one of the greatest privileges of my work to witness that kind of connection.
