The Glow Together Retreat offers mothers and daughters (ages 8-14) a unique opportunity to explore authentic beauty in a world dominated by unrealistic standards and social media influence. This thoughtfully designed retreat combines fun, hands-on activities with meaningful conversations about body confidence, feminine wisdom, and self-expression.

  • HoopYogini™ & Hula Hooping
  • DIY Organic Spa & Skincare
  • Body Literacy & Confidence Building
  • Cacao Ceremony & Dress-Up Dance Party
  • Cooking Class

Join us for an overnight retreat that balances playful connection with powerful learning, sending you home with not only natural products you've created together but also strengthened bonds and a shared language of self-care.

Playful Connection

Discover the joy of movement and stillness through hula hooping, partner yoga, and centered connection practices. Learn to move together in harmony, breathe in sync, and create moments of shared presence. Return home with a toolkit for co-regulation - simple, joyful practices you can integrate into morning, daytime, and evening routines.

DIY Natural Skincare

The skin is the largest organ of the body. Most skincare products are filled with endocrine disrupting ingredients. Together, explore the power of natural, plant-based ingredients and create luxurious skincare products you'll be proud to use. Leave with recipes and the confidence to blend natural ingredients into nourishing treatments almost good enough to eat.

Cyclical Awareness

Learn to honor the natural rhythms of the feminine body through the lens of the four seasons. Explore how energy, emotions, and needs shift throughout the menstrual cycle, which mirrors the moon phases. Leave with practical tools for cyclical self-care and a deeper understanding of the body's wisdom.

  • Partner yoga, breathwork, and connection activities
  • DIY spa treatments and essential oil blending
  • Hula hoop decorating and centering movement
  • Body literacy wisdom rooted in cyclical awareness via the medicine wheel of seasonal movements
  • Delicous meals, functional beverages, and a vegan cooking class focused on the ease of nourishment
  • Cacao ceremony and dress-up dance party
  • Nature walks, movie night, and meaningful conversations
  • The art of ceremony, self-care, and honoring beauty

You’ll return home with a shared language of self-care, nervous system co-regulation practices, and a deeper celebration of feminine essence from girlhood to womanhood, honoring the unique energy and wisdom present in every season of life.

Our Body Literacy & Menstruation Workshop is at the heart of this retreat. Rooted in cyclical awareness and the wisdom of the medicine wheel, this session offers an empowering introduction to understanding the body's natural rhythms.

We explore the four seasons of the menstrual cycle and how they mirror the moon cycles, the seasons of nature, and the seasons of a woman's life: Girl, Maiden, Mother, and Crone. Each phase carries its own energy, emotions, gifts, and needs.

Using the Menstrual Wheel of Awareness, you will explore:

  • Winter/Menstruation: The season of rest, reflection, and renewal. A time to slow down, listen inward, and honor the body's need for deep care.
  • Spring/Follicular Phase: The season of creativity, new beginnings, and rising energy. A time to explore, plan, and feel inspired.
  • Summer/Ovulation: The season of vitality, connection, and outward expression. A time to shine, engage, and celebrate.
  • Fall/Luteal Phase: The season of completion, introspection, and preparation. A time to slow down, assess, and nurture yourself.

Girl

Girls who have not yet begun menstruating will learn how to tune into their own rhythms, track their emotions and energy, and prepare for the changes ahead with confidence and curiosity.

Maiden

Girls who are already menstruating will gain tools for cyclical self-care—learning to honor their needs in each phase, communicate what they're experiencing, and see their cycle as a source of wisdom rather than something to endure.

Mother

Moms will deepen their understanding of their own cycles and learn how to support their daughters through each season with empathy, language, and practical tools. You'll also learn how to model self-care and cyclical living for your daughter.

Important Note: This workshop focuses on cyclical awareness, the uterus, uterine lining, and the process of menstruation. We will not be covering reproduction, male anatomy, or detailed anatomical education beyond what's relevant to understanding the menstrual cycle.
