Renew & Reconnect: A 4-Day Women’s Retreat in Vermont
Come As You Are
Tucked into the rolling Green Mountains of Vermont, this 4-day, 3-night retreat offers space to pause, breathe, and rediscover what matters most.
Designed especially for men and women navigating emotional overwhelm, life transitions, or simply longing to feel more connected and alive, it’s a place where you can step away from daily demands and return to yourself.
Whether you’re moving through perimenopause, embracing life as an empty nester, balancing a demanding career, caring for loved ones, stepping into retirement, or experiencing a change that defies labels—you belong here.
Leave Renewed for Your Life Ahead
Led by Seoka Salstrom, PhD—a compassionate coach and clinical psychologist with decades of experience—you’ll engage in guided workshops rooted in evidence-based practices from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, group reflection, and uplifting conversation. Alongside a small circle of women, you’ll gain practical tools to navigate life with greater clarity, presence, and purpose—while enjoying the warmth and humor that Seoka brings to every gathering.
All details are taken care of so you can focus on what you came for: deep rest, renewed perspective, and genuine connection. You’ll leave with not only new tools, but also a supportive community that understands where you’ve been and where you’re going.
