“Awaken & Connect:
A Self-Love Retreat”
with Karin & Menns
JULY 27TH - JULY 30TH 2025
These four days are a gift to yourself—an opportunity to step away from daily demands and invest in personal clarity, creativity, and connection. Through thoughtfully designed workshops and reflective experiences, you’ll explore your story, your values, and your strengths in an environment that supports growth without pressure.
Only 12 spots available!
“Rediscover self-love and leave forever changed.”
Come Home to Yourself
You can only give your best to others when you’ve first given care to yourself. Fill your own cup with rest, love, and intention—then let it overflow.
What would it feel like to reconnect deeply with who you truly are?
Imagine prioritizing your own care—guilt-free and joyfully.
What if you could meet others who see and celebrate the real you?
This retreat is your invitation to rediscover yourself in a space designed for self-love, creativity, and connection.
Across three meaningful days, you’ll dive into hands-on workshops like perfume- and bath salt-making, express your truth through poetry, and move your body in playful, supportive ways. Through storytelling, shared meals, and soulful experiences, you’ll awaken parts of yourself that have been waiting to shine.
Come as you are—leave inspired, recharged, and more fully yourself.

A Gift to yourself
To the quiet knowing within, so often set aside in your care for others. These four days are a gift to yourself—an opportunity to step away from daily demands and invest in personal clarity, creativity, and connection. Through thoughtfully designed workshops and reflective experiences, you’ll explore your story, your values, and your strengths in an environment that supports growth without pressure.
You’ll craft a signature sentence—words that speak directly to your soul—and blend your own bath salts as a sensory reminder of the love you deserve. Between moments of stillness and self-expression, you’ll move through joy with a playful mini triathlon, gather for fine dining, and share stories by the fire.
Held in a circle of kindred hearts, this retreat is a sacred space where self-love becomes both a celebration and a quiet revolution.
