WOMEN'S RETREATS
Be Still and Know Women's Retreats
Imagine a weekend where you are free of responsibility, where gourmet food is provided for you, and your time can be spent
as you choose. A weekend free of expectations and full of time to rest, relax, read, meditate, journal, pray, and more.
It’s an opportunity to offer your mind, body, and soul whatever it needs.
The homes are carefully selected to include beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces, comfort, and multiple amenities to stimulate restoration and pampering. A light schedule is provided to encourage downtime with optional events and activities
that may promote healing, self-discovery, and inspiration. Peaceful Moments (quiet times) are a significant aspect
of these retreats as it is in the stillness and quiet where we can hear our innermost thoughts and
discover our true selves, which empowers growth, peace, and joy.

What Guests Are Saying
"My retreat was amazing! It's so wonderful for women to have a place to go with zero judgement and expectations. The time is yours to do as you please to enjoy yourself. Of course I love my family, but it was wonderful to not have anyone relying on me for anything and, in turn, have some incredible women taking care of ME. Thank you, Barbara and Amy. You are beautiful souls who know what we as women need and are obviously passionate about providing it."
"I entered the house incredibly anxious and surprised that I followed through to attend. I was warmly greeted, shown how to relax and the importance of taking time to care for myself. I left feeling refreshed and confident to utilize the skills that I learned. Looking forward to the next one."
"Giving permission to ourselves to just ‘be still’ and accept the gift of time and space can be challenging. But I truly felt pampered, relaxed and enjoyed the time of quiet reflection. The food and home were simply perfect for this retreat." ❤️
Is the price per night or for the entire stay?
The price shown is for your entire stay plus five meals, all amenities and classes/sessions.
I’m bringing a friend. How do we make sure we’re rooming together?
Each of you will register separately and mention your friend’s name at checkout. Every effort will be made to pair you together. Reservations are on a first come, first serve basis.
Do I have to room with someone I don’t know if I book a single spot for myself?
Yes. Some women enjoy making new friends this way, while other women are uncomfortable with that idea. If you don’t want to share a room with someone you don’t know, you may invite a friend to join you and book a room together or you also have the option to purchase both spots at a slightly discounted rate.
What if I want to book a double room to myself?
You may book both spots at a discounted rate.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes. You may choose a payment plan through Klarna or Affirm at checkout.
I have dietary restrictions. Can you accommodate them?
Yes. We do our best to accommodate dietary restrictions.
What is a Peaceful Moment?
Peaceful Moments are times of silence and quiet, allowing true rest and reflection.
What activities are expected of me during my retreat?
With the exception of the Peaceful Moments most activities are optional. We do ask that you attend the group Welcome on Friday and the Closing Contemplation on Sunday. Please see the sample itinerary for more details.
Do you offer refunds?
Money back refunds are only available if your reservation is able to be resold to another guest for the same price. Should we be able to transfer your reservation, your refund will be returned within 30 days minus any processing fees.
Sample Itinerary
Please Note this is a SAMPLE itinerary. The final itinerary will be announced before your retreat.
Main house lights will be turned off at 10 pm. Guests are welcome to keep room lights on as long as all roommates agree. Guests may continue to enjoy the house amenities/quiet space after 10 pm.
Peaceful Moments are times of complete silence. We ask that if you decide to socialize that you step outside the house to respect the quiet of other guests or speak quietly in a private bedroom.
Breakfast will be set out for two hours so you may eat at your leisure.
* Optional activities
During the retreat, you’ll have the option to place your devices in a basket at any time you choose to completely disconnect. This is not mandatory, but encouraged.

Amy Deitemeyer
Amy has been married 25 years and is the mother of three adult children. After 18+ years as an entrepreneur and leader in a direct sales company, Amy started Bloom Journey where she enjoys guiding women through breathwork and rest coaching.
It was Amy’s vision to host a retreat for women in need of quiet time and little responsibility. She believes women need frequent opportunities to reconnect with themselves, reset their priorities and renew their energy.
In her years of working with women, Amy has found that we often take on too much mentally, emotionally and physically. Women deserve time to get in touch with themselves and feel refreshed.
