You've been taking care of everyone else. INWARD is three days for you.

The INWARD Retreat is a curated experience for women 50+ who are navigating the next chapter of their lives. It is mindfully created for women who need more than a vacation to recharge their life-force. Inward is a space to ask the questions that don't fit into your everyday schedule. To exhale. To figure out what comes next.

Has an empty nest arrived and left a quiet you weren't expecting? Are you managing aging parents or loved ones while wondering about the life you have yet to live? Going through divorce or loss, or sitting with the slow grief of pre or post-menopause and a body that feels like anything but your own? You are not lost. You are between just chapters. And you are not alone.

INWARD was built for exactly this moment.

Our retreats in Joshua Tree and Bali have shown us the power of community and shared experiences in this stage of life. There aren’t many spaces and places for us in this precious phase of life. 

And that is why INWARD EXISTS

INWARD was created by Tammy Dickerson of tbg Events. Born from a desire to hold space for women who are often pouring into others, INWARD invites guests to step away from the noise of daily life and into a setting that encourages quiet, reflection, meaningful connection and renewal.

The venue

Eighty-eight private acres hillside acres above Onion Creek, just outside Austin. Limestone casitas shaded by ancient live oaks. Expansive rocking chair porches that seem designed for the kind of thinking you've been putting off. A sunset that stops conversation. This land breathes — quiet, rooted, alive.

Other lovely moments to expect:

• A fire pit that becomes the heart of every evening

• On-site Garden Spa with facial and massage treatments

• Wide open Texas night sky and Star Gazing — genuinely dark, genuinely quiet

Yes, it is Texas in August. And this land was built for it. Think: early mornings on the porch before the heat rises, shaded walks under the oaks at midday, long afternoons in cool casitas and evenings made for firelight and open sky.

INWARD is curated and hosted by Tammy Dickerson of tbg Events.
