Remembrance Retreat
June 3–7, 2027 · Northwest Montana
Twelve women · By application
You’re used to knowing what to do.
And perhaps, somewhere along the way, control became one of the ways you learned to feel safe.
For a long time, this way of being worked. It helped you build a business, become a leader, navigate hard things, and create a life that once felt right.
But something has changed.
Maybe your body is changing…
A relationship is ending…
The work that once gave you purpose no longer feels meaningful.
Maybe you’re grieving the life you thought you’d have. Or maybe nothing has dramatically fallen apart at all.
You can feel that the life you’ve known is changing. And this time, you don’t know what comes next.
What you do know is that you’re no longer willing to abandon yourself to maintain what was.
Who am I now?
What do I actually want?
What makes me feel alive?
And where do I go from here?
And what you need is space from the noise of your everyday life to hear yourself again.
A four-night immersive retreat for women at a threshold

Beneath the identities, roles, trauma, expectations, and perceptions you’ve carried.
Through your body. Through the herd. Through the wild.
Remembrance is an intimate retreat for women business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders who have done the inner work and find themselves standing at a threshold between the life they’ve known and whatever comes next.
For four immersive days, we’ll step away from our everyday lives and into the wild beauty of Northwest Montana.
Through somatic work, Equìa with the herd, adventure in Glacier National Park, deep conversation, meaningful human connection, rest, play, and spaciousness, you’ll have an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and explore what makes you feel fully alive.
Before you decide who you’re becoming next, give yourself the space to remember who you are.
You may already understand a lot about yourself. You’ve done therapy, read countless books, taken courses, and worked with coaches, practitioners, or healers.
You know your patterns. You understand how your past has shaped you. And still, understanding yourself is different from feeling fully alive.
I believe aliveness is our natural state. Awe. Gratitude. Presence. Vitality. Connection.
Trauma, conditioning, and the identities we learn to carry can disconnect us from that aliveness. Healing can become a path back to it.
The somatic work at Remembrance isn’t centered around the pursuit of catharsis. You won’t be pushed to manufacture an emotional breakthrough or prove how deep you’re willing to go.
Depth does not require intensity.
My approach is rooted in Somatic Experiencing®, compassionate coaching, capacity and resilience building, grounded presence, and relationship.
There may be grief… There may be emotion… And there will also be laughter, awe, adventure, beauty, rest, movement, horses, incredible conversations, and moments that remind you how good it feels to be here.
Pain may be part of what emerges, but it isn’t the center of the experience. Remembrance is designed around life.
Four ways we’ll reconnect with what makes us feel alive.
Through guided somatic practices, we’ll slow down enough to notice what your body is communicating and deepen your capacity to stay present with what you feel.
My approach weaves Somatic Experiencing® with coaching and my own facilitation methodology, with an emphasis on capacity, resilience, presence, and relationship.
There is no expectation to perform your healing here.
We’ll spend two immersive sessions with the horses through Equìa, my approach to equine-assisted somatic work.
There is no riding and no previous experience with horses is necessary.
Through presence, relationship, somatic awareness, and co-regulation, the herd offers another way to experience yourself and your relationship to the world around you. Throughout our stay, we’ll also share Blue Star with their resident herd of miniature horses.
One of our days together will take us into Glacier National Park for a beginner-to-intermediate hiking adventure.
Expect a physical challenge alongside awe, beauty, movement, and adventure. You’ll receive a training plan before the retreat to help you physically prepare.
Aliveness isn’t something we’ll only talk about at Remembrance. We’ll experience it.
Human connection is at the heart of Remembrance. This is an intentionally small gathering where you can show up beyond your professional identity, accomplishments, and the pressure to have it all figured out.
There will be deep, facilitated conversations and shared somatic experiences, alongside meals around the table, adventure, laughter, downtime, and time simply spent living alongside one another.
Come as you are, not as who you think you need to be.
Immersive days that feel full yet spacious. Each day has an intentional rhythm, with facilitated experiences alongside time for rest, integration, and connection.
Arrive at Blue Star, settle into your space, and meet the women you’ll be sharing the next four days with.
We’ll begin with our opening circle, somatic work, facilitated connection, and our first private-chef dinner together.
A day to arrive, exhale, and begin releasing your grip on what you no longer need to carry.
We’ll move deeper into the experience through guided somatic work, facilitated conversation, and our first immersive Equìa session with the herd.
There will be space throughout the day for rest, integration, shared meals, and connection.
A day to reconnect with your body, yourself, the herd, and one another.
We’ll head into Glacier National Park for a day of movement, challenge, awe, beauty, and adventure.
Our beginner-to-intermediate hike invites you to challenge yourself physically while experiencing one of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes.
A day to get out of your head and into the experience of being fully alive.
Our final full day brings us back to the herd for our second immersive Equìa experience, alongside somatic work, reflection, facilitated conversation, and integration.
We’ll create space to notice what has shifted, what feels true, and what you’ve remembered about yourself along the way.
A day to gather the pieces and carry them forward.
Blue Star Resort & Retreat in Northwest Montana.
There’s something about Northwest Montana that invites you to come back to what’s real. The mountains, forests, wide-open skies, crystal-clear water, and the stillness found in nature…
It’s the kind of beauty that pulls you out of your thoughts and into the moment you’re actually living.
For four nights, Blue Star will be our home. A place to gather around the table, rest between experiences, spend time outside, visit with the resident mini horses, detox inside the traditional Finnish sauna, and connect with one another.
Beyond Blue Star, we’ll experience more of Northwest Montana through our hiking adventure in Glacier National Park and time exploring downtown Whitefish. Space to breathe. Beauty to take in. Life to experience.
Every woman receives the same complete Remembrance experience. Your investment simply reflects the accommodation you choose.

Remembrance is for women business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders who find themselves at a threshold.
You’ve done the inner work. You’re not new to therapy, coaching, personal development, or exploring yourself more deeply.
You’re used to being capable, holding responsibility, figuring things out, helping those around you, and making things happen.
And right now, something is changing. You don’t know what comes next… But you are ready to meet yourself differently.
Remembrance may be for you if you’re ready to
You don’t need to arrive with answers. You do need to arrive willing.
I’ve spent more than a decade supporting leaders through change, healing, and the thresholds that reshape their lives.
By the time we gather for Remembrance, I’ll be a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), having completed the three-year professional training in Somatic Experiencing®, the modality developed by Dr. Peter Levine.
My work weaves this depth of somatic training with coaching, group facilitation, and Equìa, my approach to equine-assisted somatic work.
My training informs how I facilitate, but my ability to see people is what gives this work its humanity.
I listen deeply. I notice what’s being said and what may be harder to say. I create spaces where people can drop the performance and experience what it’s like to be genuinely seen, heard, and witnessed.
Remembrance will be my first group retreat since 2021, and what I’ve missed most is the connection. As our world becomes increasingly digital and disconnected, I believe human-to-human connection matters more than ever… Especially for women who are quietly navigating life-changing thresholds.
Sharing meals. Looking each other in the eyes. Laughing until it hurts. Sitting beside someone in silence. Moving our bodies. Being in nature. Spending time with the herd.
I’ve watched relationships formed at my previous retreats continue for years, becoming lifelong friendships and even business collaborations. I know how to create the conditions for that kind of connection.
And I cannot wait to gather again.
