Grounded Rising

A one-day women’s wellness retreat in Whistler

Saturday, November 14 · 9am-5pm

Join Us

Get grounded by nature so you can rise stronger.

You’re invited to spend a day in the mountains with a small circle of women.
Move. Talk. Rest. Laugh. Figure out what you want, and leave with the clarity to create what’s next.

Save My Spot

This is an invitation to connect with…

Nature.
We’ll explore and connect as we move through an old-growth forest, among trees that have seen many Novembers. Rain or shine.

The magic of these mountains is timeless.

Yourself.
Sit, talk, reflect, and feel into what’s most alive in you this season.

Community.
Real talk with women who also crave authenticity and who are ready to rise.

The Day

Come as you are. Take what you need from every part of the day.

  1. Arrive. Warm tea, fireside chats, a welcoming circle.

  2. Ground. Explore connection with yourself through connections with the forest and the land.

  3. Gather. A delicious lunch together, then honest conversation about what’s working, what isn’t, and the quiet whispers from within.

  4. Rise. Reflection and time to attune to what matters most to you.

  5. Close. Gratitude, new connections, and clear steps to guide your journey beyond the insight of this day.

  6. Integration Call (Nov 24 - 7PM) a virtual gathering to checkin on how your insights are landing in real life.

Why I’m hosting this

We’re more connected than ever through technology, and more disconnected from ourselves, our bodies, and real community. We spend our days consuming, responding, and doing, while quietly yearning for more room to breathe, or answer the whispers we hear within.

Nature doesn’t rush you.

A river doesn’t perform.

A mountain doesn’t apologize for taking up space.

Spend a day in the forest, in reflection and in community, and you can’t help but get perspective, find clarity, and feel more connected to yourself, and your dreams.

This is your time to rise.

The Space

Sitting on the shared, unceded traditional territories of the Lil’wat Nation (L̓il̓wat7úl) and Squamish Nation (Sk̲wx̲u7mesh Úxumixw), The Space is a warm, light-filled home surrounded by trees and mountains, with a fireplace, a beautiful kitchen, and cozy corners to sit and chat.
