join us in celebrating the summer solstice. this is a retreat to slow down, soften, and return to yourself—held in nature, sisterhood, & ceremony.

through ritual, rest, and gentle nourishment, we invite you to drink deeply from the well of your own becoming.

Milk & Honey is more than a retreat, it is a homecoming.

a sacred space where women gather to rest, renew, and remember themselves. held on the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, this retreat is a celebration of light—both around us and within us. it is a threshold, a moment to pause, reflect, and step fully into the radiance of your becoming.

through ceremony, somatic movement, deep rest, and gentle nourishment, we honor the cycles of the earth and the cycles within ourselves. this is a space to soften, to replenish, and to surrender to the warmth of your own unfolding.

during this sacred portal, when the sun lingers at its peak, we gather in sisterhood—to welcome the fullness of our being, to release what no longer serves, and to set intentions for the path ahead. we move slowly here. we honor the rhythms of the feminine, the power of ritual, and the beauty of simply being.

this is your invitation to step away from the noise, to be held in a space of softness, and to remember the kind of woman you are when the world is quiet.
