Immerse yourself in golden hues for a 6-day, 5-night women’s fall retreat in the Bitterroot Valley between the Bitterroot Range and Sapphire Mountains.
The Bitterroot Valley has some of the most epic scenery in Montana. Making it even more alluring is its remote feeling. Hamilton is located just south of Missoula, where it still feels like a wild, untamed portion of western Montana.
Our home for the retreat, Skywater Cabins, are located on 14 acres of land on the banks of the Bitterroot River surrounded by lush foliage, sweeping mountain views, and quiet nature, this immersive experience invites you to slow down, reconnect, and come home to yourself.
Enjoy grounding yoga, meditation, sound healing, acupuncture, reiki, hiking, hot springs, soulful conversation, and deep rest—plus evenings soaking under the big Montana sky.
A soulful reset for mind, body, and spirit.
💚This retreat is an invitation to come exactly as you are. There’s no pressure to perform, no expectation to participate in everything. Whether you’re called to rest, reflect, explore, or simply be held by the energy of the space, your journey is honored.
Each offering is here for you to engage with as it feels aligned—this is your time to reconnect, recharge, and return to your essence at your own pace.
