Retreat FAQ – Everything You Wanna Know

Who is this retreat for?

This retreat is for anyone who identifies as a divorcée (or is in the process), and is ready to heal, connect, and rediscover themselves. Whether your divorce was recent or years ago, if you’re craving a reset with supportive, like-minded humans—this is for you.

Do I have to talk about my divorce the whole time?

Nope. There will be space for sharing and deep conversations, but you’re never required to talk about anything you don’t want to. This is a no-pressure zone—we’re here to support you, not push you.

I’m introverted / anxious / not sure I’ll fit in… should I still come?

1000% yes. We’re creating a warm, welcoming space where you can show up exactly as you are. There’s room for quiet, for solitude, for deep connection, and everything in between. You’ll be in good company.
