a retreat for women who have survived the storm…
Retreats by Jenn W. presents…
and are yearning to do something even braver…
RISE LIKE
WILDFLOWERS
bloom where the storm broke you open -
bloom where the storm broke you open -
Wildflowers RISE despite a scary landscape…Wildflowers RISE IN SPITE of the Bullshit.
Focus on YOU.
Grow untamed. Stretch towards the light.
Intertwine with the like-minded, growing broader and braver together in camaraderie, in connection, in quiet revolution.
This retreat sheds the aggravating narrative that has been on replay:
“Hustle, succeed, break through.”
“Become some louder version of yourself.”
When what we really need is some relief from the pressure to perform…Relief from the pressure to live up to the standards of the old world…And we need the time, inspiration, support, and MAGIC required to identify our true value, our true strengths…and find the best ways to bring those forth NOW.
RISE WILD as your most authentic self…a single wildflower, whole and untamed… then merge into the collective amongst the rest, entangling and strengthening, spreading the beauty wider and higher together.
A single wildflower is a rare thing…
…Wildflowers grow in disturbed soil, spread by wind, spread by footsteps.
They adapt instead of waiting for permission.
But when wildflowers bloom together, they don’t just survive, they change the land itself.
They stabilize what’s been eroded. They invite life back in. They transform whole hillsides simply by growing side by side.
COME RISE. A curated ritual and immersion with YOU in mind.
Designed for soaking up community, magic, and transformation.
Held on 30 acres of farmland, forest, creek, and pond, alive with naturally occurring quartz beneath your feet. This retreat is an invitation to slow down, root deeply, and rise together.

One-on-ones with Jenn
Relax and allow Jenn’s priestess energy to contain you through ritual and ceremony on this special land.
Transformation
Truly embodied, slow, shared rituals
Together, we will plant wildflowers on the land as part of a one-of-a-kind ritual, both literal and symbolic.
The ritualized planting of the wildflowers starts with a drop in, you’ll feel the veil grow thinner as you’re immersed in the liminal plane, where deep change can occur.
You’ll find in days and weeks that follow, that the magic carries with you, and your life adapts to the will you spoke in ritual.
Community
The friends and fellows who are magnetized to retreats by Jenn W. don’t tend to be a bougie bunch.
This crowd knows a good laugh, a good cry, a good hug, and a good back massage train….
Not to be harsh, but modernity has done a number on our people skills, our ability to connect, braid together, discover something new about ourselves.
We don’t ask that you show up 100% ready to be a perfect social butterfly…we know that’s not possible, real or healthy.
We just invite you to be willing to come as you are… and trust us to meet you there!
with a little help from your favorite magic faerie badass priestess
“me time” that ripples all the way to your higher self
The moment Jenn and her partner Erik set foot on this pristine 30-acre sanctuary in Aroda, they knew: this was home.
Jenn had long envisioned a serene yet vibrant landing pad for her alchemical work - a place to gather, to rest, to practice magic in community. Today, that vision lives here.
You might find Jenn offering tea ceremonies on the breezy screened porch overlooking the trees… or down in the chicken coop, laughing and handing treats to the beloved flock (yes, you’ll meet Batman, FeFe, Sesame, Todd Pecker, Red, Harley, FloJo, Udaho, Octavia, J.S. Bach, Truddles, Goatski, Pee Wee, Houdini, Bubby, and Sweetums).
The land holds a 100+ year old farmhouse, now a cozy sanctuary, nestled just downhill from the modern log cabin where guests stay. It’s a place that feels lived-in, loved, and alive.
Jenn is a Reiki practitioner, moon circle facilitator, tea ceremony guide, personal alchemical mentor, and longtime member of 12-step spiritual communities. She’s also a rock climber, pool player, and seasoned community weaver who has been hosting retreats and gatherings for over a decade.
Though she moved to the farm in 2024, the land has already held multiple retreats and many groups longing for a true reprieve in the country. In 2026, Jenn is expanding the meditation garden, labyrinth, vegetable beds, and enchanted forest experiences. This land is still unfolding.
You’ll be staying together in a spacious, modern log cabin tucked into the forest.
Warm, grounded, and expansive, the cabin offers room to stretch out and settle in — with shared spaces designed for connection and quiet corners made for rest.
Expect:
Multiple bedrooms and bathrooms
A hot tub beneath the stars
Fire pit gatherings
Air conditioning and reliable Wi‑Fi
A panoramic screened porch overlooking the woods
Trails that wind toward a peaceful creek
As night falls, the sky opens…wide, dark, and full of stars.
This is not a hotel stay. It’s a shared home for the weekend. A container. A landing place.
Friday | Arrival + Opening
Arrive between 4–6pm and settle into your space.
We’ll gather for a nourishing dinner, gentle socializing, and one‑on‑one intention setting with Jenn.
The evening closes with an opening ceremony to mark the threshold and a stimulating workshop to get the magic juju flowing.
Nothing rushed. Nothing forced. Just a slow, welcoming descent into the ritual space we’ll share all weekend.
Saturday | Rooting + Rising
Saturday deepens.
We begin with breakfast and morning movement/yoga, then move into a workshop exploring individuality and autonomy braided with a strong community ethos.
There’s space for rest, creativity, and play…hands‑on making, tea ceremonies, wandering the land, or doing absolutely nothing at all.
In the afternoon, we enter a deep, transportive Wildflower Planting Ritual…slow, embodied, and shared.
The evening brings a collaborative cooking experience, a themed dinner, and a moon circle to close the day.
Sunday | Integration+ Farewell
Morning movement and breakfast. An integrative walk.
A healing circle led by a special guest facilitator.
We close together…grounded, connected, and carrying something new home.
Rise- despite a scary landscape…
Rise IN SPITE of the Bullshit
All Flourishing is Mutual
It’s about the courage to bloom despite a scary landscape because you have a higher purpose for the collective.
In fact, we’re soaking up the fuel of sisterhood and magic…
to REORIENT….
to fill up our cups…
to courageously transform and adapt…
so that we can go back out and express our POWER.
When women bloom together, the pressure lifts.
Adaptation becomes contagious.
What shifts inside you ripples outward…
…into your home, your circle, your network, your world. It is a quiet, collective power. Wild. Like my favorite flowers.
Please don’t hesitate to drop Jenn a line with any questions you may have!
There’s no such thing as a dumb question!
Jenn is also available to hear about your personal/ emotional/ mental hang-ups and offer up any advice or reassurance you may need before committing!
