About your trip

The F*&! It Retreat

The Florrest | Georgia | May 14 to May 17

Only 10 spots

This retreat is for women who’ve seen some things and are ready to put themselves back on their own priority list.


It is for women who’ve tried everything to find balance yet still feel depleted, this retreat offers the science, nourishment, and space to finally reset from the inside out.

Women are being asked to do it all: lead teams, nurture families, build empires, stay calm in the chaos, and somehow keep smiling through it. We’re running multi-million-dollar businesses and still being told to be kind, be patient, and make dinner. We’re mentoring Sheila at work, managing another crisis before lunch, and then skipping meals or grabbing whatever’s fast because there’s just no time.

It’s no wonder our bodies are tired and our minds are overloaded. Most of us can’t remember the last time we exhaled without guilt.

The truth is, stress isn’t just emotional …it is also physical. It shows up in your gut, your breath, your mood, your sleep, your patience, and even your confidence. And while you keep showing up for everyone else, your body keeps whispering for rest, nourishment, and space to recover.

This retreat matters now because it’s not about dropping out of your life — it’s about finally dropping back into it. With food that fuels, practices that ground, and community that gets it, you’ll walk away with tools that help you show up clear, calm, and fully yourself, no matter what room you walk into next.

Why The F*&! It Retreat?

This is not your typical retreat. It’s designed for women who don’t usually do things like this. This is for the ones who say, “I’d rather be on a beach with a drink in my hand.” We get it. But here, you’ll actually learn how to take that feeling of ease home with you.

This retreat is about giving you practical tools for real life. Yes, the kind you can use at work, in your kitchen, or on a plane when everything feels like too much. You’ll eat incredible food, move your body, laugh hard, and walk away knowing how to keep that peace once you’re back in your world.

You will:

  • Reconnect with yourself through nourishing food and mindful movement that you can easily repeat at home

  • Learn simple, science-based tools to manage stress, reset your nervous system, and sustain calm in everyday moments

  • Design your freedom…not as an escape, but as the ability to envision the person you truly want to embody in those tough situations, grounded yet soaring. Unbothered. 

What You Will Gain

You’ll come here and experience rest that’s deeper than sleep, nourishment that goes beyond food, and clarity that stretches far beyond seeing. This is your reset — a chance to restore your whole being so you can sleep better, absorb food more efficiently, and release the buildup that’s been weighing you down.

You’ll have access to renowned vegan chef Michelle Beckles, whose life was transformed through this very process. Michelle’s meals are sumptuous, simple, and soul-filling. She’ll show you how to make food that delights all five senses and fuels your body for energy, focus, and joy.

You’ll learn from Nuria McGrath, mindfulness facilitator, yoga instructor, and identity-based coach to executive women, who will guide you into deep awareness and realignment with who you are. You’ll feel like you’ve known her for years — her teachings blend heart and humor, making growth feel like coming home.

And Dr. Prudence Minton, coach to Fortune 500 C-suite women and top-level educators across the country, will bring structure, strategy, and powerful mindset shifts that make transformation stick. Her sessions will leave you inspired, laughing, and thinking on a new level.

You’ll leave with:

  • A grounded body, a quiet mind, and a clear path to bring balance into your daily life

  • Recipes and stress management tools that actually work — in the boardroom, at home, or 30,000 feet in the air

  • A renewed sense of freedom, fulfillment, and confidence that doesn’t fade once you return home

  • A circle of women who see you, support you, and remind you that you’re not doing this alone

Let’s be honest. There are a lot of retreats out there. Some promise rest, some promise transformation, but few offer both…and fewer still give you tools that actually stick when you return to your real life.

What makes The F*&! It Retreat: Food. Fulfillment. Freedom. different is three-fold.

First, our team of experts come from corporate, government, and fashion. We’ve led teams, hit deadlines, raised families, and kept it together when the world around us was falling apart. We’ve lived some life, and we’ve learned what happens when you start revering yourself and putting your own needs first. That’s the wisdom we’re here to share.

Second, we’re not career retreat leaders who spend our days on a yoga mat by the ocean (although we'd love to). We are practical people who’ve learned to make peace between ambition and self-care. We use adult learning techniques (andragogy) that help you absorb and implement the neuroplasticity tools you’ll learn — not just while you’re here, but when you’re in the middle of a presentation, stuck in traffic, or boarding a flight.

Lastly, we have vision. We know that when you come to this retreat and design your freedom, you’ll be changed in small, powerful, irreversible ways. You’ll rediscover your personal recipes for embodying your joy, your voice, and your freedom. And when you return home, that shift will ripple out to your teams, your families, and your community.

I can promise you this...this isn’t just a getaway.


It’s a catalyst for sustainable growth, real-life integration, and a renewed relationship with yourself.

Your Day

 

Mornings will begin with gentle movement and breathwork on the land, tuning into your body’s wisdom as the day opens. You’ll be nourished with vibrant, home-cooked vegan meals crafted with love by Michelle, each dish infused with intention to support your healing from the inside out.

Afternoons invite you into a rhythm of rest and reconnection. Through visualizations, art, and life-path reflections, you’ll explore your inner landscape with softness and curiosity. You’ll dance to call in what you truly desire, soak in sacred plant baths to release what no longer serves you, and find joy in sisterhood that sees you fully.


Evenings are for slowing down and being held. We’ll gather in circle around candlelight, pulling cards, sharing stories, and soaking in the warmth of community. Whether you’re in the sauna, under the stars, or simply wrapped in a cozy blanket, this is your space to feel nourished, seen, and supported...just as you are.
