Imagine this: You arrive at a serene coastal retreat house in Kure Beach, NC, the gentle ocean breeze brushing your skin as the waves softly hum in the background.
Around you, a small, carefully chosen group of women who’ve been running on empty gather, each ready to reclaim their energy, clarity, and sense of self after long seasons of burnout and change.
Over three nights and two full days, you’ll be fully supported to release the weight you’ve been carrying, quiet the constant noise, and rediscover what truly matters to you—returning home feeling emotionally renewed, deeply centered, and finally clear on what’s next for you.
This is your invitation to a restorative experience designed to meet you exactly where you are and guide you toward a life aligned with your soul's calling.
Why this Spiritual Wellness Retreat?
This isn’t just a weekend away—it’s a soul-deep reset for women who give endlessly to others or are quietly navigating a life shift that’s left them feeling ungrounded and unsure of what’s next.
Timed with the powerful energy of the New Moon, a powerful time for reflection, intention-setting, and inner renewal, this coastal retreat in Kure Beach, NC invites you to step into a new version of yourself—one that feels more grounded, aligned, and alive.
It's for women in transition—burned out caregivers, professionals, and nurturers—who need space to breathe, clarity on what’s next, and a reconnection with themselves. If you’ve been longing for stillness, direction, and something that ignites your spark again… this is where your next chapter begins.
Who You'll Be Relaxing With...
This is a carefully gathered intimate circle of women—caregivers, professionals, and soul-searchers—who are ready to pause the chaos, release burnout, and step into their next chapter with intention.
You’ll be surrounded by others who understand what it feels like to give so much without refilling, who are quietly navigating big life changes, and who deeply value connection, healing, and growth.
Our promise: You’ll return home feeling renewed, grounded, and confident—with a fresh sense of direction and the courage to move boldly toward what’s next.
What Makes This Retreat Different?
It’s not just a retreat. It’s a full-body, soul-level alignment. This isn’t a jam-packed weekend of workshops or surface-level self-care. It’s a deeply immersive experience where YOU are the intention—your healing, your clarity, your next chapter.
Intentionally set during the potent New Moon energy, each day is thoughtfully designed to help you breathe deeply, reflect fully, and reconnect—with yourself, your truth, and what you’re being called toward.
And there’s space for soul-nourishing joy.
Think ocean breezes, barefoot beach walks, nourishing local meals, and quiet moments that feel like coming home to yourself. Beautiful surprises are woven throughout—because when you feel safe, inspired, and deeply held, everything begins to shift.
Why You Belong Here:
This retreat is a sacred space for soul-led women navigating big transitions—burnt-out caregivers, nurturers, and high-achievers who’ve been holding it all together. It’s for those who know that clarity doesn’t come from pushing harder, but from pausing long enough to reconnect with themselves.
Surrounded by a small heart-led community, you’ll move through intentional practices—energy work, embodied reflection, and spiritual exploration—all designed to help you release what’s heavy and remember who you came here to be.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. Just the willingness to slow down and receive what’s been waiting for you.
This is a space for depth, not distraction. A sacred container where transformation begins in stillness and unfolds with support—where you can finally hear what your life has been trying to tell you, and feel safe enough to trust your next steps.

Welcome to Your Soul Sanctuary
by the Sea
Get ready to settle into your coastal oasis—an oceanfront retreat home where luxury meets stillness, and the rhythm of the waves sets the pace for your transformation. This isn’t just where the retreat happens—it’s where you align with the version of you that’s waiting to emerge.
Your Sacred Space for Healing: With panoramic ocean views, calming tones, and gentle light, this sanctuary invites you to slow down and tune in. Through guided meditations, intuitive journaling, creative crafts, and soul-deep conversations, you’ll meet deeper layers of yourself and step into the next evolution of your spirit—rooted in presence and guided by intention.
Soak Up the Energy: Begin your day with sunrise yoga and the scent of salt air, anchoring into calm as waves whisper nearby. Ease into the rhythm—coffee or hibiscus tea in hand, golden sunlight on your skin, and the sea just steps away.
This spacious Kure Beach home—with its upper and lower ocean-view decks—was designed for restoration, reflection, and soulful connection.
Soak in the sun’s healing energy by day, then gather under the stars for sound journeys, sacred dance, and soul-nourishing moments that stay with you long after this unforgettable women’s retreat in coastal North Carolina.
Cozy Corners, Deep Conversations: The lounge areas on the lower deck are a dream—perfect for barefoot chats over tea, solo reflections with the breeze in your hair, or stargazing at the end of a beautiful day. These outdoor spaces invite you to connect: with nature, with others, and with parts of yourself that have been waiting for your attention.
Sacred Nooks to Go Inward: Inside, thoughtful details whisper an invitation to slow down and tune in. One quiet corner—tucked beside a grand, graceful harp—offers the perfect sanctuary for reflection. Sink into stillness with your journal, a book that stirs your spirit, or simply your own thoughts.
This is where insights gently emerge and your inner voice becomes clear. Whether you’re writing, reading, or resting in silence, you’ll find yourself drawn back to this space again and again—as if your future self is waiting there with a message.
A Grand Welcome Awaits
From the very first moment—whether it’s the ocean glinting through the front windows or the calm that falls over you as you step inside—this home greets you with open arms and gently ushers you toward the ease, freedom, and life you’ve been dreaming into existence. It’s not just beautiful—it’s energetically aligned with the transformation you’re here to receive.
The Perfect Place to Rest Between Transformations
Where you'll stay: After each soul-expanding day at our women’s wellness retreat in North Carolina, you’ll return—by way of a breezy 4-minute ride in a rented 6-person golf cart—to a pristine, three-story luxury home designed for deep rest and intentional integration.
This immaculate five-bedroom lodging space blends upscale comfort with coastal charm. Onsite parking is available if you’re driving in—just pull in, settle in, and let the coastal calm take over. Enjoy three beautifully appointed levels, complete with an elevator for easy access, elegant finishes throughout, and plenty of space to unwind and simply be.
The short commute offers a purposeful pause between beachfront healing experiences and the privacy of your own sanctuary—giving you (and your retreat team) the space to reset and recharge.
Savor quiet mornings with ocean views from the balcony, journal with the salty breeze at your back, or drift to sleep feeling held by the quiet luxury around you. Because true transformation is nourished by space, stillness, and comfort.
🌴🌊We’ve intentionally chosen a luxury home nearby to give you both connection and sacred space. You’ll receive full lodging details after registration. 🌊🌴
Nourishment for Body & Soul
Each day begins and flows with intentional nourishment, lovingly prepared by a local catering company that specializes in wholesome, soul-aligned cuisine.
Your breakfasts and lunches will be colorful, vibrant, and deeply satisfying—meals that feel as good as they taste. From fresh, nutrient-dense ingredients to thoughtful preparation, every bite is meant to fuel your energy, ground your body, and support the work your soul came here to do.
We’re proud to partner with Mālama Café, whose name means “to care for”—a perfect reflection of our retreat’s deeper purpose. Their focus on healthy choices, sustainability, and community impact means every meal not only nurtures you, but also honors the land and ocean that hold us.
From compostable packaging to consciously sourced ingredients, their commitment to mālama (care) ripples through every dish. Eating well isn’t just about flavor—it’s a way of life, a way of giving back, and a way of aligning with something greater.
Whether you’re sipping hibiscus tea in the morning sun or refueling after a soulful session, these meals will leave you feeling nourished in all the right ways.
Evenings Out, Island Style
Twice during the retreat, we’ll head to nearby Carolina Beach for elevated dinners at two of the area's most beloved upscale restaurants—where fresh, coastal cuisine meets warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Getting there is half the fun. We’ll ride in style on our rented 6-person golf cart, soaking up the ocean air and laughter along the way. It’s more than a meal—it’s an experience to savor.
These evenings are designed for joy, connection, and celebration—no planning, no stress. Just gorgeous food, island ambiance, and your favorite kind of company.

A Soul-Inspired Invitation from Brooke...
There comes a time when the exhaustion from doing life the “right” way—pushing, performing, and holding it all together—catches up with you. I know, because I hit that wall. Burned out, disconnected, and sometimes physically sick, I realized I couldn’t keep living from a place of control and pressure. My soul was quietly whispering: there’s another way.
Years ago, I lost my mother to suicide, and the pain led me into nearly a decade of self-destructive patterns. But underneath the grief, I discovered my healing journey was the gateway to purpose. Reiki and spiritual connection helped me see life through a lens of compassion and truth. The more I showed up fully as myself, the more life began to meet me with soul-aligned opportunities, deep peace, and a calling to help others find their way too.
Eventually, I was guided to leave my secure, financially stable job in the mental health and substance use field—not out of recklessness, but from a knowing that I was meant to serve in a different way. That leap of faith led me here.
And it’s what this retreat is all about: giving you the space, support, and spiritual nourishment to reconnect with your own soul’s calling.
You’re not broken, lost, or behind—you’re simply being invited to remember. This retreat was born from one aligned conversation, one sacred “yes,” and one woman (me) listening deeply to her soul’s nudge. I’ve created this space for you to breathe, reset, and reclaim the wisdom already inside of you.
You don’t need to figure it all out. You just need to show up.
Step into the life your soul came here to live.
If you’d like to explore more of my story and the healing work I offer, you’re invited to visit
With love,
