This is not your average women's retreat — Armed and Anchored is where strength meets soul. Designed for women who are ready to rise, this one-of-a-kind experience combines practical preparedness with deep personal growth.

Over the course of this immersive retreat, you'll receive expert instruction from US Army Veteran Silas Gold with 580 Tactical. You will learn everything from basic firearms training to home defense as well as emergency medical response, survival skills for natural disasters, and self-defense instruction. We are bringing in top local experts in the areas of health and wellness, physical resilience, financial preparedness, estate planning, and more!

You’ll also be guided through powerful mindset work to break through self-limiting beliefs, reconnect with your purpose, and learn how to care for your mental, emotional, and physical well-being while building community and friendships with like minded women. 

This is your time to reset, re-center, and reclaim your identity as a protector, provider, and powerful woman — for yourself, your family, and your community. Leave not just more skilled, but more grounded, focused, and fiercely alive.

Become an asset. Become unshakable. Become Armed and Anchored.

We’ve designed this retreat to be an unforgettable, all-inclusive experience at a price that’s truly unmatched. If you were to book everything included here on your own—accommodations in a stunning location with full amenities, daily chef-prepared farm-to-table meals, tactical training from a U.S. Army Veteran, guided excursions like waterfall bathing, horseback riding, and moonlight sound baths, plus expert-led workshops on health, mindset, finance, and self-defense—you could easily spend well over $4,000. Just the tactical courses alone could cost $1,200 if purchased separately. One-on-one sessions with our guest experts (valued at $100–$200 per hour) are included in your stay, giving you direct access to knowledge and skills that can transform your life. Add in transportation, daily movement sessions, personalized movement screenings by a Doctor of Physical Therapy, and the priceless value of connecting with a like-minded community—and the return on your investment is undeniable. You’re not just booking a trip; you’re investing in skills, connections, and experiences that will stay with you for a lifetime.

Arrivals at the cabin will be between 1:00PM and 4:00PM. Youll have time to get settled in and meet some of the other ladies before we have our Welcome Dinner with a guest speaker and a special Welcome Ceremony to set our intentions for the weekend.

We will start the day with breakfast from local sources then transport to the training site for a morning movement and forrest grounding session. Today will focus on self defense tactics and situational awareness in the afternoon. We will have a special purpose activity after that and then transition into part 1 of our medical training. Then its time to eat! After dinner we will have a special guest speaker.

Today will be a fun but busy day! We will start with a buffet style breakfast before heading off to Falls Creek Falls for a hike and waterfall bathing experience. Lunch will be at The Lodge today. Next we will head to our Equine therapy session and end with a horseback ride. Then its time to get back to training! We will be teaching you all about disaster preparedness and response and the second part of our medical training. Dinner will be followed by a fun fireside Q&A with the cadre and of course smores! Tonight we will also do a special soundbath ceremony. After a long day this will help you reset.

Todays the day to put it all together. We will start with a special combat fitness session in the morning followed by breakfast. We will then transition into firearms training where you will learn firearms basics, clearning a room, and navigating obstacles. After lunch we will have a fun team challenge that will test all the skills you learned over the past few days. Dinner will be a Special Graduation Dinner and a Warrior Ceremony to celebrate YOU!

Today we will have one final breakfast and start saying our goodbye's to the group. The retreat may be over but the community will carry on with future events and meet up's!
