everything you need to know about

I’m not sure if I should attend the retreat. Who should attend? +

Balanced Roots Retreats was created by women, for women. We are a welcoming and inclusive community inviting other women to join us, focus on themselves and connect with others.

Whether you are looking for some time to slow down and get to know yourself a little better, you are looking for a weekend getaway with one friend, or with a group of friends, Balanced Roots Retreats has something to offer for everyone.

We believe you can be the best version of yourself when you lie your foundational values and use them as your North star. And most of all, we believe that you are the author of your own life. At Balanced Roots Retreats, we focus on:

MEANINGFUL CONNECTION Every person on the planet has a unique story. Every person has something to offer and the world would be a better place if we could all open our hearts to those around us.
PLAYFULNESS & CREATIVITY Life is full of a lot of serious things. We want to always remember to find the joy and beauty in what we do.
INTROSPECTION Sometimes we can get to know ourselves best when we stop to listen to what’s inside of and around us.
SELF-WORTH Giving ourselves affirmations and surrounding ourselves with people who will always lift us and allow us to feel valued.
NOURISHMENT Finding time to nourish our minds, bodies and souls is at the core of what we do. Each piece contributes to the larger story, no one being more important than the other.
SHIFTING YOUR MINDSET Sometimes all it takes is one little question, one walk outside, or one song to allow us to see something in a while new light.
