You've done the grief work.
You're functioning - showing up, handling what needs to be handled.
And to everyone around you, you probably look like you're doing fine.
But inside, there are moments - maybe more than you'd like to admit — when:
You feel a loneliness that's hard to explain, even to the people who love you most.
You've lost touch with what you want, what brings you joy, what excites you, what you even desire anymore.
The future feels foggy at best, and you're not sure you have permission to want more than just getting by.
You've been carrying expectations, your own and others', about who you're supposed to be now, and it weighs on you.
You long for connection with women who truly understand without having to explain everything from the beginning.

You don't need more surviving. You are ready for something more and you deserve the space, the support, and the permission to find it.
The Joyful Purpose Retreat is an intimate, all-inclusive luxury weekend for women who are ready to move from functioning to truly living again.
In a setting of beauty, ease, and exceptional care — with just four women — you will have the space to breathe, to reflect, and to do the deep, guided work of reconnecting with yourself.
"Not an escape from your life. A return to yourself — and a glimpse of what your life can become."
Over the course of the weekend, through carefully guided workshops and intimate conversation, you will move through three profound shifts that women at my longer retreats describe as life-changing.
These are not lectures or worksheets. They are guided, supported experiences that open something in you - gently and permanently.
You will remember what it feels like to want something. To have preferences. To feel the quiet pull of longing and know it belongs to you. Many women leave this experience saying it's the first time since loss they've felt truly in touch with themselves.
You will begin to see a future that feels genuinely exciting — not just tolerable. You will give yourself permission to dream beyond grief, beyond expectation, beyond what you thought was still available to you.
You will gently let go of the stories, identities, and expectations that were never authentically yours to carry. What remains is a woman who feels lighter, freer, and more genuinely herself than she has in a very long time.
Exceptional meals. Beautiful surroundings. A spa day or unique local experience. Moments of laughter, ease, and genuine connection with women who just get it.
These are not luxuries added on top of the experience. They are the experience. Because you deserve to be cared for in this way — and because joy, beauty, and ease are exactly how we begin to remember what it feels like to be fully alive again.
Together, these three experiences create something real and lasting: a renewed sense of who you are, what you want, and what you are capable of. You don't leave with insights you forget by Tuesday. You leave different.
You leave a little different.
Disconnected from your own desires
Unable to imagine an exciting future
Weighed down by expectations
Alone in your experience
Reconnected with what you truly want
Hopeful and open to what's possible
Lighter, freer, more authentically yourself
Deeply seen, understood, and connected

Here, you don't have to explain. You don't have to soften what you're carrying or make anyone else comfortable with your grief.
In a group of just four women, there is space to be fully yourself. To speak honestly. To be seen and heard by women who are walking a similar path and who truly get it — because they are living it too.
Something shifts when you stop being the only one in the room who understands.
You feel lighter. More open. More like yourself again. And these connections don't stay at the retreat — they continue, grow, and become part of your life moving forward. Because real connection isn't just comforting. It is a powerful part of how we rebuild our sense of self, rediscover joy, and find our way to a life with meaning and purpose again.
Nothing left to arrange.
From the moment you arrive, everything is taken care of so you can simply be present.

Your Joyful Purpose Retreat includes a full year inside the Thriving Widows Tribe — the ongoing membership community where the women you meet over the weekend become part of your continuing story.

Meet new widows or stay connected with the women from your retreat and build on the friendships you've begun.

Live group coaching and connection calls, three times each month on Zoom.

Continue building resilience, joy, and confidence with ongoing guided support.

A private community of widows who truly understand your journey, available whenever you need them.

Access to a membership portal with all session replays, resources, and worksheets.
The Tribe is where the shift you begin at the retreat has room to deepen and become the foundation of your new life. The retreat opens the door. The Tribe keeps it open.
What changed everything for me wasn't more grief work. It was resilience — and the discovery that there were things I could actively do to rebuild a life that felt worth living. Little by little, I stopped just getting through the days and started creating a life that felt genuinely good. I reconnected with what I desired. I allowed myself to imagine a future I actually wanted. And I released the version of myself I'd been performing for everyone else.
Today I lead retreats and programs for widows that bring me more joy and fulfillment than I could have imagined. I have a sisterhood that spans the world. And I get to witness other women make the same journey — watching the light come back, the laughter return, the shoulders relax.
I know how it feels to believe joy is out of reach. And I know what becomes possible when you begin to open the door to something more.
The Joyful Purpose Retreat is the most intimate, most supported experience I offer. I would be honored to hold this space for you.

Consider what you may already be spending on things that bring temporary relief but don't address what you're really longing for — quick fixes, activities surrounded by people who don't understand, experiences that leave you feeling more alone than before. This is different. This is the real thing.
