Announcing the 5th Annual Wise Wellness Retreat

Written By Emilee Wise

I can hardly believe I’m writing to tell you this... the 5th annual Wise Wellness Retreat is officially open for registration!

When I hosted the very first retreat, it was simply because I thought it would be fun to gather a group of like-minded women. I had so much to share—about hormones, nutrition, movement, and how our bodies shift during the transitional stages of life—and back then, this information wasn’t being shouted from every social media platform. It felt new, even radical, to speak honestly about what it means to be a woman navigating real change. And I didn’t want to just talk about it—I wanted women to experience it in their bodies.

Five years later, this retreat has grown into something far more magical than I ever could have imagined.

Once I get past the gritty logistics—contracts, headcounts, travel details, menu planning—I’m filled with excitement and curiosity. I start to wonder…

  • Who will show up this year?

  • Whose light will grow brighter just by being seen?

  •  Who will bravely arrive not knowing a soul—and leave feeling completely held?

  • What breakthroughs will unfold as women realize they have more control over their lives than they ever knew?

This is the power of intentional space. Of community. Of collective energy.

And I don’t do it alone. I’m joined by two of my dearest friends, who help create an environment that’s welcoming, nourishing, and deeply transformative. The grounded, loving wisdom of Bekah Vandenberg, and the light-hearted spirit and warmth of Colleen bring balance and joy to the whole experience.
