Stretch Your Spirit Women's Wellness Retreat
May 1st - 8th, 2027
Retreats that aren't just a getaway, but a return to yourself.
Imagine a week to reconnect with your joy, your resilience, your body,
and a beautiful community of women who understand what it means to carry a lot.
This isn't just a vacation. It's a chance to press pause on all the doing...
and lean into the balance of being.
Because when women feel deeply cared for, they soften,
reconnect, and remember who they are.
Luxury Accommodations & So Much More
Where Everything Comes Together
Every detail is intentionally curated, from the breathtaking setting
and luxurious accommodations to nourishing meals, meaningful conversations, restorative yoga, and moments of unexpected joy.
Together, we'll move, breathe, laugh, wander, rest deeply, and
reconnect with ourselves and one another. There's a reason
I choose these places so carefully.
It's because the setting matters. Not only because it's beautiful
(although it truly is), but because you can feel it—the mountain air, gardens, healing spa, nourishing food, and the quiet.
The places we choose become part of the practice, inviting your nervous system to still, your shoulders to drop, and your heart to open.
Stretch Your Spirit Retreats has been hosting international experiences since 2018.
Co-leaders have included Gretchen Serinis, Yoga Teacher and Ayurveda Practitioner; Coach Bon Kyle-Blamphin, creator of SHYNE Design in The Villages Florida; AliceAnne Loftus, Certified Professional Coach, Author, and Podcaster; Michelle Ferrin, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner; and Melissa Trotman, Owner of Vital You Functional Medicine.
