Are you craving the space to hear yourself think again?
Longing to reconnect with the woman beneath the responsibilities, expectations, and endless demands of everyday life?
Ready to gain the clarity, confidence, and courage to intentionally create a life that feels aligned, meaningful, and deeply fulfilling?

Imagine spending an entire weekend surrounded by the beauty and serenity of the mountains, immersed in nature, supported by authentic sisterhood, and guided through transformational experiences designed to reconnect you with your purpose, your vision, and your truest self.

Join me, Ashley Strong Smith, and an intimate circle of intentional women for a powerful weekend immersion in the breathtaking mountains of Lake Arrowhead, California, October 9–11, 2026.

Together, we'll slow down, tune in, and create space for what matters most.
Throughout the weekend, you'll experience:
🫖 A heart-opening cacao ceremony to ground your intentions and awaken possibility
🪘 A restorative sunset sound bath to release what no longer serves you and invite clarity
🧘‍♀️ Gentle yoga practices to reconnect mind, body, and spirit
✨ Guided meditations and reflective exercises to deepen self-awareness and inner wisdom
🌲 Nourishing nature walks through the mountains to inspire presence, perspective, and peace
🥗 Thoughtfully curated farm-to-table meals that nourish your body and support your well-being
📝 Transformational workshops and mastermind sessions designed to help you reconnect with your why, clarify your vision, and create aligned next steps
⭐ Meaningful conversations and guided experiences that cultivate greater clarity, confidence, and courage
⛰️ A peaceful mountain sanctuary where you can rest, reset, and recharge
💃 Joyful movement, dance, laughter, and celebration
🎶 Curated music and intentional experiences that elevate and inspire
🤝 Genuine connection, support, and sisterhood with women who are also committed to living intentionally

This is more than a retreat.
It's an intentional reset.
A sacred pause from the noise of everyday life.
A chance to remember who you are, reconnect with what matters most, and step into your next chapter with renewed clarity, purpose, and confidence.
​
You'll leave feeling inspired, empowered, deeply supported, and equipped with practical tools, meaningful insights, and a clear vision for creating a life you truly love.

    • Every element is designed to help you reconnect with your purpose and create meaningful, lasting change.
  • Why did you choose October for this retreat?
    • Fall is a season of reflection, release, and renewal.
    • As nature slows down and sheds what is no longer needed, we are invited to do the same. October offers a powerful moment to pause, reflect on the year, and realign with what truly matters before stepping into your next chapter.
    • The timing of this retreat is intentionally aligned with that natural rhythm of transition and intention.
  • Who is your host, Ashley Strong Smith?

    • This retreat weaves together practices, tools, and experiences that have supported my own personal journey, as well as the transformation I’ve witnessed in the women I’ve worked with. My intention is to create a safe, grounded, and inspiring space where you can slow down, reconnect, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
  • How many women will attend?
    • This retreat is intentionally limited to just 6 women.
    • This ensures a deeply intimate, supportive, and personalized experience where every woman is seen, heard, and guided with care.

  • Why is the retreat limited to only 6 women?

      • ✨ Deeper coaching and meaningful conversation
      • ✨ Personalized guidance and support
      • ✨ Authentic sisterhood and connection
      • ✨ A safe environment for reflection and growth

  • Why invest in this retreat?

    • It’s a chance to step away from daily demands, reconnect with yourself, and gain clarity around the life you want to create moving forward.
    • The impact of this investment extends far beyond the weekend—it continues to ripple into your relationships, decisions, and daily life long after you return home.
  • What should I bring?
    • Bring your yoga mat, comfortable clothing, layers for cool mountain weather, walking shoes for the hike, and any personal items that help you feel supported.
    • You may also want to bring a journal, although retreat materials will be provided.
    • Most importantly, bring an open heart, an open mind, and a willingness to fully receive the experience.
  • What if I come alone?
    • Many women attend on their own.
    • This retreat is intentionally designed to foster connection and sisterhood, and most participants leave having formed meaningful, lasting relationships.
    • You will be warmly welcomed from the moment you arrive.
  • What if I'm nervous or unsure?
    • That is completely normal.
    • Often, the experiences that create the most transformation are the ones that gently stretch us beyond our comfort zone.
