You don't need a different life. You need a way back to yourself.
A Five-Day Retreat for Women
Drummond Island, Michigan
​
The next retreat is in planning. Add your name to the waitlist below and you'll be the first to know when dates are set.
You don't need a different life. You need a way back to yourself.
Here's what's actually happening
​
Maybe you're running a company, raising a family, holding it together for everyone around you. Maybe you've built something you're proud of, but there's a hum underneath it all that never quite stops.
​
The mind that won't turn off at night. The full calendar that still somehow feels like you're behind. The sense that no matter how much you do, there's always more waiting.
​
You're not struggling. You're succeeding. And you're tired in a way that a vacation doesn't fix.
​
There is a different way. Not a way to do less or want less. A way to feel full instead of depleted. To show up to your life already resourced instead of running on fumes.
​

Pain is inevitable
Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
​
This retreat teaches you the difference in your body,
not just your mind.​​

What You'll Learn
Why your mind won't stop.
Your nervous system got you into the spin. Your nervous system has to get you out. I'll teach you exactly how, and you'll practice it until it becomes automatic.
​
The 90-second truth about emotions.
An emotion lasts about 90 seconds when you actually feel it. Everything after that is the story you're telling yourself. Once you understand this, everything changes.
​
What you're really reacting to.
It's not the email. It's not the comment. It's the meaning you made. I'll show you how to see the pattern and how to interrupt it before it takes over.
​
How to fill your cup from the inside.
You'll learn to tune into your own state, fill yourself with gratitude and clarity, and give from abundance instead of depletion.
​
The difference between caring and carrying.
You can love deeply without taking on everyone else's weight. This distinction alone will change every relationship you have.
​
How to become who you already are.
There is a version of you who doesn't get pulled by everything. She's not someone you have to create. She's someone you return to. I'll show you how.
What you'll feel
Clear
You'll understand what's been happening inside you
and why.
Light
You'll set down what was never yours to carry.
Steady
You'll know how to come back to yourself when life pulls you.
Full
You'll learn to fill your own cup instead of running on empty.
The Week
The week day by day
Day 1
Arrive and exhale. Settle in, share a meal, and let everything you've been carrying finally land somewhere safe.
Day 2
Understanding. Learn why your mind and body do what they do and discover your first tools for coming back to yourself.
Day 3
Clarity. Examine what you've been carrying and see what's actually true underneath the stories.
Day 4
Embodiment. Practice becoming the woman you want to be. Build your personal system for staying steady.
Day 5
Depart in the morning, carrying something real.
What women have said
"We arrived like potted trees from the nursery, root bound, in our own little containers. Jeanne provided a safe, open, loving, caring ground and guidance for us to put down our roots, shed our confined pots, grow together, and nurture ourselves and each other. We leave this weekend part of a beautiful forest, having received an abundance of TLC and wisdom."
"I found so much common ground and connection in the room. A group setting where all are encouraged but not pressured to express their vulnerabilities feels like such a safe and open space. Everything was wonderful."
"I truly fell in love with these ladies and the meaningful conversations we had. You are amazing, and I can see waiting lists to get into one of your retreats."
Where You'll Stay
A waterfront home on Drummond Island, Michigan.
The house is our home base, where we share meals, conversations, sessions, and quiet. But the retreat isn't lived inside four walls.
​
Weather permitting, yoga happens on the beach or onsite near the waterfront. Nature walks wind through nearby trails. There are shorelines for relaxing, water for watching, and quiet for thinking.
​
You'll move between warm indoor space and the open Michigan outdoors as the days unfold.
​
A small group. Five days. One place to come back to yourself.
Everything is Handled
Everything is handled. You just show up.
Four nights of lodging at Little Bear Lodge on the water.
​
All catered meals, curated for each day.
​
All learning sessions and experiential practices.
Yoga with a calm and skilled instructor.
​
Guided nature walks on the island trails.
​
A live music evening.
​
Snacks and beverages throughout the retreat.
Curated surprises along the way.
Meet Jeanne
I spent thirty years in education learning how people actually change — not how we hope they change, not how the books say they should change, but how change actually happens in the body and the mind.
​
I've trained in nervous system science, NLP master practitioner work, the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, strategic intervention, and brain research on what actually shifts behavior, not just thinking. I've worked with students, teachers, leaders, and teams. And what I've learned is this: the tools that change lives are simpler than we think. We just have to practice them in the right conditions.
​
This retreat is those conditions.
