Everything you’re wondering before you join the circle.

What is a Heart Work Retreat?

A small, intentional gathering of women in a beautiful, wild place — built around connection, creativity, and personal growth. We keep the retreats intimate with no more than 15-20 women to allow for deep connection. Expect a mix of light hiking, breath work, journaling, laughter, new experiences, flower arranging, meditation, sound bowl healing, painting, music and dance, sitting in circle, storytelling, movement, yoga, sharing shame triggers, reiki healing, photography, massages, curated music to accompany each part of the retreat and set every mood, burning old habits/routines in a fire, lifelong friendships. Every retreat also includes a private Wild Woman Portraits session with Melody.

Do I need to know anyone else attending?

Not at all. Most women arrive solo and leave as friends — that’s the whole point of gathering.

What’s included in a retreat?

All listed activities, digital gallery of photos from your Wild Woman session, food & refreshment are included. For retreats lasting more than 1 day, lodging is included when listed. Your travel to and from the retreat location is NOT included.

Is the Wild Woman Portraits session really included with every retreat?

Yes — every Heart Work Retreat includes a private, empowering nature photo session with Melody, no extra cost.

What should I bring?

Comfortable layers, closed-toe shoes for walking/exploring, your favorite pen to write with, water bottle, and anything that makes you feel like yourself.

What is the cancellation and refund policy?

Cancellations are allowed up to 2 months in advance of the retreat date. After that date, they are non-refundable.

Are all ages welcome?

Yes — every age, every story. Just bring an open heart and a playful spirit.
