You know when you feel like you’re about to snap, so you finally create some “me time”...that somehow still ends with you doing dishes or cheering at a ballgame? Been there, done that. What if you got away for a wellness retreat for women and it actually changed things?
No one asking you for anything. No calendar reminders. No multitasking. And then you come home and something’s different. You’re not snapping at your kids just because you're tired. You’re not reaching for your phone every two seconds. You’re sleeping deeper. Laughing more. You feel clear. Settled. Joyful. Like you finally experienced true rest, down to your soul. And now everything is different.
That’s what this retreat does.
It’s a retreat for spiritual growth. To give you space to slow down in your body, mind, and soul. All at once. You’ll move your body without punishing it. Hear from God without kids fighting in the next room. Feel fully seen by women in the same walk of life. You’ll leave with lifelong memories and a new way of walking through life, head held high. It’s the RESET you’ve been craving but have never been able to receive.
For once, it's your turn to be taken care of.
About This Retreat
Every women's retreat is crafted with one big goal in mind: to give you space to breathe again. To laugh. To be still. To reconnect with God (the master potter), your body, and what matters most to you in this season of life.
You’ll be surrounded by beauty (the kind that makes you cry a little) and the countryside of old italy. We will also visit the cliffside beach of Lama Monachile and the the fairytale trulli homes of Alberobello. You’ll be nourished with locally sourced Italian dishes simmered and shared slowly.
You’ll be led through movement, breathwork, and practices that crack you wide open in the best way. You may cry, laugh, or melt face down where you are. You may even discover a dream you had that you didn't know existed. Whatever your REAL self needs, it’ll be overflowing. Exhale.
Each day is slow and intentional. Mornings will start quietly with coffee or tea in hand, wrapped in your robe, with the bright Italian sun basking on your face. Then we’ll drop in the perfect blend of hikes, Holy yoga, breathwork, growth workshops, and meditations sessions with ample free time and Italian adventures. We've been doing this for years, and we know how to cultivate an effortless dance between rest, work, and play.
Nothing feels forced. You can join what you want, and skip what you don’t. We do heart work, but we do it gently.
It’s a soul care retreat to rest, take naps, go for walks, have deep belly laughs, eat delicious meals, and have conversations that impact you forever.
Most importantly, we will be creating time for Jesus to reshape and mold us into His image. Where we are worn thin, He will renew and revive us. It's going to be BEAUTIFUL.
"Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand." Isaiah 64:8

God Moved.
They Noticed.
"Rarely does a woman in this world get space and time to breathe deeply and reconnect with herself spiritually, emotionally, and physically. This retreat enables just that kind of connection. It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will reinvigorate your mind and soul! I came in riddled with anxiety, tension, and a sense of overwhelm professionally and personally. I left feeling centered, calm, and excited about the journey ahead."
“The Hawaii retreat was truly life-changing for me. It allowed me to check in with myself as an individual, dropping any titles that I personally hold. Mother, daughter, wife… and just truly dive into who I am, and who God has created me to be! That time spent with God daily, with other fellow believers, and sharing in the amazing experiences of Hawaii has opened up my eyes and heart to the ways God wants to guide me.”
“I always felt like meditation and breathwork were for flaky, weird people. I know, I know, sorry about that. But once I actually LISTENED to what Liv has been saying all along and applied it in my own life and gave it a real try, I was SHOOK. I felt a tangible calm in my nervous system, and I had more control over my anxious thoughts. I was also really surprised at how intimate and holy it really can be. I was a skeptic and walked away a believer. Liv is genuinely a master in this craft, and God uses her to make a REAL impact on people. I’m seriously mind blown lol.”
“I have never met someone more in tune with how to combine the power of the gospel into nervous system and body mobility work. She has helped me release and work through things I didn’t realize I was still carrying, and I’ve witnessed first hand the healing and life-giving impact her work has had on hundreds of women around the world.”
