COME HOME TO YOURSELF

A Mini Retreat for Women Who Are Ready to Pause, Receive & Reconnect

When? Sunday, October 11th, 1:30-4:30pm

Where? Harvey First Lutheran Church (1520 Advent St.)

Cost? $55 (NON-REFUNDABLE once purchased)- can be transferred to another woman if you cannot attend

What if you stopped pouring into everyone else for just a few hours… and allowed yourself to be poured into?

Women are often the quiet anchors holding everything together. We care for our families. We show up for our friends.
We support our coworkers. We nurture, organize, encourage, solve, give, and keep going. Somewhere along the way, we can lose touch with the woman underneath it all.

The woman who has needs. The woman who wants to breathe. The woman who wants to feel supported.
The woman who deserves care, too. This retreat is an invitation to come home to yourself.

For a few precious hours, you won't have to be the caregiver, the problem-solver, the organizer, or the one who has it all together. You get to simply be. To pause, breathe, create, release, connect and receive.

WHEN WOMEN ARE NOURISHED, WOMEN FLOURISH.

This intimate mini retreat brings women together in a warm, supportive space where wellness isn't about adding another thing to your already-full life.

Instead, it's about learning simple ways to restore yourself within the life you're already living.

You'll leave with practical tools, meaningful experiences, and a renewed connection to yourself that you can carry home and continue using long after the retreat ends.

WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE

🌿 NOURISH YOUR MIND & BODY

Wellness + Nervous System Regulation

Experience engaging, real-life conversation about wellness, emotional well-being, stress, and the nervous system.

You'll learn practical tools you can actually use when life feels overwhelming—including simple ways to calm your body, create moments of regulation, recognize what you need, and build small practices of restoration into everyday life.

No complicated routines. No pressure to be perfect. Just tools you can take home and use.

🎨 CREATE SOMETHING THAT CALLS YOU FORWARD

A Make-and-Take Experience

Give yourself permission to dream again. Through a hands-on creative experience, you'll create something meaningful that reflects what you desire, hope for, and want more of in your life.

It's about asking: What do I want? What matters to me now? What am I ready to make space for?
What does the next chapter of my life feel like?

You'll leave with a beautiful personal creation to take home as a reminder of what you're choosing for yourself.

🎶 BREATHE • MOVE • RECEIVE

Sound Healing + Breath work + Gentle Movement

Experience a nurturing combination of breath work, gentle seated movements, and sound healing designed to help you slow down, release tension, and reconnect with your body. No flexibility required. Just come as you are.

You don't have to push yourself here. You get to soften.

💧 RELEASE WHAT YOU'RE READY TO LEAVE BEHIND

A Water Release Closing

Sometimes we know we're ready to let something go—but we need a moment to consciously acknowledge it.

You'll be invited to reflect on what you've been carrying that no longer needs to come with you—old expectations, guilt, pressure, resentment, self-doubt, outdated roles, or simply things you're ready to stop holding so tightly. You'll have the opportunity to symbolically release what you're ready to leave behind into the water.

A moment to honor where you've been… and make space for where you're going.

AND YOU WON'T DO IT ALONE.

🤍 COMMUNITY • CONNECTION • BELONGING

There is something powerful about sitting in a room with other women and realizing:

“I'm not the only one.” This retreat is designed to create a safe, welcoming space for women to connect, share, laugh, reflect, and simply be themselves. You don't have to arrive knowing anyone. You don't have to have everything figured out or be in a particular season of life. You just have to come. Sometimes what we need most isn't another answer. It's to feel seen, heard, understood, and supported.

THIS RETREAT IS FOR YOU IF…

You feel like you've been running on empty, spend most of your time taking care of everyone else, have forgotten what you need and crave more connection—with yourself and with other women. You feel overwhelmed, stressed, or emotionally depleted. Not only that, but you are navigating a transition or simply wondering, “What do I want now?” You want practical tools for managing stress and supporting your well-being. You need permission to slow down.

Or maybe…

You simply know it's time to do something for yourself.

WHAT YOU'LL TAKE HOME

✨ Practical nervous-system regulation tools
✨ Simple wellness practices you can use in everyday life
✨ Your own meaningful creative take-home piece
✨ A deeper awareness of what you need
✨ A sense of release and renewal
✨ New connections with other women
✨ A few hours when you don't have to take care of everyone else
✨ And, hopefully, a little more of YOU

YOUR WELL-BEING IS NOT A LUXURY.

It isn't selfish to need rest, to need support, to want connection or take up space. You matter, too.

And when you take care of the woman who holds so much together, something beautiful happens.

She has more of herself to give—but this time, she isn't giving from empty.
