Sunwoven Women's Retreat | St. John, USVI

Wild & Rooted Women's Retreat

A playful lakeside retreat for women seeking adventure, rest, and connection

Deep Creek Lake, Maryland | August 12-16, 2026

Wild & Rooted Retreat is a playful lakeside retreat for the givers, the doers, and the adventure-ish women ready to step away from routine and reconnect with what makes them feel playful, present and most alive.

Welcome to Wild & Rooted

Where the days are designed for you to feel fully alive.

Mornings might begin with yoga by the lake or a gentle hike through the surrounding woods. Afternoons could bring kayaking, paddleboarding, a boat day on the water, or lingering lakeside with a good book and great company. Evenings wind down with campfires, shared meals, movie nights, and the freedom to choose how you spend them.

Between adventures, you’ll find space for women’s circles, self-care rituals, or simply time for yourself — so you return home feeling grounded, refreshed, and ready to pour into the life you love.

Who's This For?

The givers, the doers, and the adventure-ish women ready to feel lit up again.

Wild & Rooted is for the woman who…

Wants a retreat that feels playful, relaxed, and easy to show up for.
Craves connection but also values having space to do her own thing.
Is up for adventure-filled days on the lake and slow, cozy evenings by the fire.
Has been carrying a lot and wants a getaway that fills her back up.
Feels ready to reconnect with joy, movement, and a sense of aliveness.
Loves a curated experience that feels thoughtful, elevated, and laid back.
Is craving a grown-up version of summer camp — without the pressure or packed schedule.

Is this you? Then join us and return home with a lighter heart, a clearer mind, and a renewed sense of self.

THIS IS ME!

Designed for the woman who gives her all and survives on leftovers. This retreat is your invitation to trade routine for freedom, and reconnect with the part of you that is lit up by life.

Why St. John?

Affectionately known as “Love City,” St. John is one of the most breathtaking islands in the Caribbean—and one of the easiest to visit.

No passport required for US travelers — part of the US Virgin Islands.
60% National Park — lush hiking trails, protected bays, and friendly wildlife.
World-class beaches — consistently ranked among the most beautiful in the world.
Crystal-clear waters — perfect for snorkeling, paddleboarding, and spotting sea turtles.
Warm, welcoming culture that makes you feel at home the moment you arrive.

With its unmatched beauty and slower pace of life, St. John meets you where you are and gives you space to breathe again. You’ll return home with a clear mind and a lighter heart, more deeply connected to yourself long after you’ve unpacked.

The untouched beauty of St. John will leave you breathless...

When we remove ourselves from the daily grind we create space within to discover deeper parts of ourselves; what inspires us, what motivates us, and what make us just feel good. - Amy

From colorful barefoot beach days and belly laughs…to me, my laptop, and a millennial gray wall 😂

The re-entry is real.

But, this “boring” part is where the magic actually gets built.✨

Working from my couch today so we can be back in the sunshine together soon.

Worth it. Every time. ☀️

It’s not lost on me that travel is a luxury, but coming to this little floating rock always reminds me that it truly is the little things + simple joys in life that make everything feel alright.

Nothing fancy, just a nap under a tree, some ocean waves in the background and a hermit crab or two keeping me company.

Cherishing these little moments that remind me that life can be really beautiful if we simply allow it to be. 🤍🏝️

Windows down, music up, thousands of miles from everything you know.

This was right after I wrapped up last year’s retreat and was feeling a flood of emotions — accomplished, proud, exhausted, energized & also a deep knowing that things were shifting.

2025 was a big year for me and I look back on this video, this exact song was playing, and think about how much I already knew to be true for myself and how much change I needed to put into place — the things I needed to stop mulling over and the little seeds I was ready to plant.

These island cruises are where I do my best thinking, my best processing and also my best letting go. 🥰

Heading into my next retreat (in 4 days) feeling more energized, more aligned and more empowered than ever and so grateful for this little rock🫶🏼🌞🏝️

#sunwovenretreat #nurturedretreats #stjohnusvi #stjohn #retreatyourself

Embodiment is what happens when we come back to ourselves.

When we’re not just moving through life in our heads,
but actually feeling where we are — in our bodies, in our breath, in the moment.

On retreat, embodiment shows up in so many ways.
Through movement and stillness, nature, connection, laughter, rest, and play.

Being on retreat simply gives us the space to practice what’s already available.

So when life feels overwhelming or you notice yourself stuck in your head, the way back doesn’t have to be complicated.

Your body already knows the way. 🫶🏼

I don’t think this is about soup. Hard to say…

It’s a heavy world and I believe the only way to do this life is together.

Don’t forget to take care of yourself too while you’re out there saving the world. 🤍

Structure creates safety. Safety creates space to let go.✨

#nurturedretreats #womensretreats #retreatleader #womensupportingwomen

Somewhere after 35, you just have fewer f*cks to give.

And honestly? That’s not a bad thing.

I will always be a caring, nurturing, deeply thoughtful person — that’s who I am at my core.

But what I’ve learned over the last few years is that boundaries don’t make me less generous… they actually allow me to show up better.

When I’m not overextending, over-explaining, or pouring into places that aren’t reciprocal, I have so much more to give where it actually matters — in my work, in my relationships, and in the spaces I intentionally create for women.

This is something I practice daily, and it’s something I continue to teach the women who come into my world: you don’t have to abandon your softness to honor yourself.
And you don’t have to abandon yourself to be kind.

You just have to be honest about where your energy belongs.🫶🏼

Because really I’m just counting down the days till I’m back on island time🏝️

14 days to be exact! 🙌🏼

#stjohn #nurturedretreats #stjohnusvi #womensretreats #adventuretravel

When I reflect on my business in 2025, one theme keeps coming up again and again:

Leaning into what I know to be true for myself — and trusting that it will attract the right people and opportunities.

This year asked me to practice what I offer.
Not just talk about boundaries, clarity, and self-trust… but actually live them.

When I wrapped up the Island Revive Retreat in January 2025, I made myself a promise:
I would not abandon myself to make things work for everyone else.

So I showed up with more authority.
I stopped over-explaining.
I trusted my timing, my structure, and my voice.

What I have now, moving into 2026, is the most clarity I’ve ever felt — in my retreats, my upcoming offers, and the way I want to work.

That clarity gave me what I was intentionally working toward in my personal life — time, steadiness, and space for my own wellbeing.

I’m entering 2026 grounded, clear, and deeply aligned — excited to build from what I’ve learned and share that with others.

That feels like the most honest work I can offer.

And I think this is especially important for women in leadership roles — entrepreneurs, retreat leaders, facilitators, coaches.

If you’re leading others, this is your reminder: your way of being matters just as much as what you teach.

Because like I always say, when we feel whole, we’re able to show up fully for others — and that doesn’t come from trying to be everyone else’s version of us.🤍

In the past, once a retreat filled, I would push even harder — especially this time of year.

December is already full, and I’d end up burnt out before the new year even started because I thought my business needed constant momentum.

This year, I’ve been doing things differently — staying aligned in my marketing, my business, and my personal wellbeing, and actually practicing what I preach instead of burning myself out.

Sunwoven filled a week ago, and instead of immediately posting about it and jumping into high(er) gear — I let myself pause, celebrate quietly, and trust that I didn’t need the validation for it to be real.

& nothing fell apart.

And as we head into Christmas week, that feels like a really good reminder: we’re allowed to pause… even when good things are happening.✨🫶🏼

They say “New Year, New You” like we’re supposed to have energy after the holidays.

Right after giving everything to everyone else for months straight, we’re suddenly expected to reinvent ourselves 😅

January doesn’t need more pressure — it needs energy that actually feels good.

Sunwoven is sunshine, connection, adventure, and space to breathe — all woven together in a way that leaves you feeling alive, not depleted, and genuinely ready for the year ahead.

And if setting goals is your thing…
wouldn’t you rather do it with your toes in the sand?

We’re down to one final suite for January 18–23 on St. John.

If this feels like the way you want to start the year, my DMs are open 🤍🏝️

Creating a space where women feel safe, welcome, and comfortable is something I’m deeply intentional about.

I’ve always had this instinct in me. Even as a kid, I wanted everyone to feel included — probably because I was often the one left out.

Years in hospitality taught me how to welcome people, read a room, support different personalities, and help others feel seen and at ease.

My training in holding space taught me how to guide groups in a way that feels gentle, grounded, and supportive — while letting each individual have their own experience too.

This is the foundation of all my retreats — and a huge part of why women feel connected from day one.

Even before you arrive, we meet over Zoom so you recognize a familiar face at the airport. And once you’re at the villa, every detail is designed to help you soften and feel at home.

By the time we join for our first activity, there’s already this natural comfort woven through the group. Nothing forced. Just real women landing in a held space.

And here’s the best part:
that sense of safety is exactly what lets you let go, be yourself, laugh hard, and have the best time.

All of this comes together in Sunwoven.

If you’re craving a retreat where you’ll feel seen, welcomed, supported, and able to just be yourself… I’d love to welcome you.

You can love your life and still need a break.
You can be passionate about your work and still burn out.
You can be the most loving mom, partner, or friend — and still need time to yourself.

It doesn’t make you weak.
It makes you human.

Needing space doesn’t mean you’re failing… it means you’ve been holding a lot for a long time.

And sometimes the only way to hear yourself again, to know yourself again, to feel good in the life you pour into, is to step away for a moment.

That’s what Sunwoven is for —
a week where you don’t have to be “on,”
a week where nothing is asked of you,
a week where adventure and ease finally share the same space.

Beach days, salty hair, easy mornings, connection, fun, and that feeling of finally remembering YOU again.

If you’re craving time to breathe, reconnect, shake things up and feel like yourself again — I’d love to welcome you.

🦩This dreamy little boutique property sits perched above Cruz Bay with the prettiest views of the water and pastel rooftops — and it’s home for our Sunwoven Retreat this January.

I’ve stayed here many times over the years, and it truly feels like a tucked-away haven:
✨ soft breezes drifting through your balcony
✨ your own private suite to unwind in
✨ morning coffee watching the boats come in
✨ and all the space you need to breathe, rest, explore, and actually feel like you’re on island time

The Flamingo House inspired so much of the Sunwoven vibe — that boho-beachy blend of light + airy, cozy + grounding, elevated yet still feeling like home.

This is our home base for six sun-drenched days of adventure, connection, slow mornings, salty hair, good food, and that reset your body has been begging for.

If this is the kind of vibe you’d love to escape into this winter, I’d love to welcome you to Sunwoven. 🌞

St. John has held so many chapters of my life.
My first big-girl trip back in 2011.
My engagement.
My elopement.
And now, my business — and the work that lights me up the most.

Maybe that’s why this island feels like a thread that’s been quietly weaving through every version of me. It’s the place that reminds me who I am beneath the noise… the place where things feel clear, simple, intentional.

Every time I come back, I feel a little more grounded. A little more me.

And that’s the feeling I try to create for the women who join me here — spaciousness, connection, and those quiet little moments where something inside you clicks back into place.

So today, on my anniversary, I’m celebrating not just our wedding day but this island that has shaped so many pieces of my life.

I’m grateful for every chapter it’s held — and the ones still unfolding.

P.S. Happy 5th anniversary to my main squeeze… and 14 years to the little island that stole my heart. 🤍🏝️

As someone who spend a lot of time supporting others, I’ve been a little lost with my own routines lately.

I’ve been really caught up in juggling my retreat business, coaching clients, hospitality consulting clients, traveling, and just trying to stay afloat.

I know so many women can relate — and honestly this is how my whole business started — from a place of pushing too hard, burning out and needing a real break.

So today I’m committing to 30 days of reset BEFORE the New Year.

I always tell the women on my retreats:
you can’t pour into the life you love if you’re running on fumes.

So this month, I’m taking my own advice.

More intention with my food.
More structure in my work.
More mindful moments.
More things that actually support my energy instead of drain it.

Not a “new me” season — just a “come home to myself” season.

I want to enter January feeling grounded and steady, especially with Sunwoven right around the corner.

Showing up for you requires showing up for myself first — and that feels like a gift, not a chore.

If you’re craving a reset too, you’re not alone. December doesn’t have to feel chaotic — we get to choose how we move through it. Care to join me? 🤍

One of my favorite self-care rituals on retreat — our Signature Wind Down Service.

We love to have fun in the sun and then nourish our bodies with a good dinner and little comforts like this:

• magnesium spray
• CBD spray
• hot tea
• a little sweet treat
• warm lavender towels

On every Nurtured Retreat, the details matter — each one chosen with love and intention to bring you a truly holistic experience. 🤍

And because the care doesn’t end when retreat does, you’ll also go home with our At-Home Retreat e-book — a gentle guide with recipes, rituals, and little ways to bring the Sunwoven feeling back home with you.

Here’s to the rituals that bring us home to ourselves. 🌙

There’s a reason I keep coming back to St. John…

It has a way of holding you…
giving you what you need…
meeting you where you are…
and lighting up that little kid inside.

The beauty speaks for itself — but the energy here is what brings the magic.

It’s hard to describe and life-changing if you ever get the chance to experience it.

Counting down the days until we’re back on island time 🤍🏝️✨

I’m giving big-sister energy today because I genuinely care about your experience.

And listen… let me start by saying, you can absolutely still lay on the beach and eat chips if that’s what feels good. My retreats are all about freedom and choosing what you need — not performing some perfect version of rest.

Whether you book a retreat with me or not — you should know this:

You’re not just paying for a vacation.
You’re investing in your wellbeing. Your presence. Your energy. Your life.

And honestly? Most women don’t realize how different they’ll feel when they’re supported instead of managing everything… rested instead of exhausted… in their life instead of escaping it.

That’s why I’m so passionate about this work. Because women make the world go round — and we deserve this.

Retreats aren’t just vacations — they’re curated experiences that help you feel good again… in your body, in your life, and in your everyday — long after you’re home. 🤍

Winter is creeping in, and honestly, it feels like we’re barely catching up from summer.

Time moves so fast when our plates are so full, and as women, caretakers, and nurturers, we tend to carry it all — especially through this last stretch of the year.

School, sports, and work are in full swing, Thanksgiving is next week… and then suddenly it’s holiday parties, gift wrapping, cooking all the things, and making sure everyone has a lovely season.

But what happens after all of that?

January hits.
It’s a new year, it’s cold outside, and the holiday cheer starts to fade.

For me, I tend to feel pretty blah after the holiday high wears off, and I’ve found I need something to look forward to — something warm to carry me through winter and into spring.

Not just a getaway, but a real exhale. Time that’s actually for us. Experiences that make us feel alive and present.

This is why I chose January as my island retreat month.
Because it’s the perfect time for us ladies to finally say:

“Okay… now it’s my turn.” 🫶🏼

This is pretty much how it always goes for us:
land in St. Thomas → grab the ferry → swing by Mongoose → pick up the Jeep → check in → quick ocean dip → dinner + a deep exhale.

It’s a full travel day, but it’s also our favorite rhythm — we’ve been doing this for years and we honestly love it this way!

But here’s the best part:
your first day at Sunwoven will be even easier.

Private transport takes you from the airport → you cruise over on the open-air ferry → we pick you up at the dock → you head straight to The Flamingo House → settle in → take in the view → welcome dinner and rest.

No logistics. No running around.
Just landing, arriving, and letting the island do what it does best.

So you can wake up refreshed and ready to adventure!

And if you’re craving a January reset that feels simple, fun, and so good for your nervous system… you might want to join us.🤍

Jumping into the weekend like— 🤸🏼‍♀️🌊

This boat day on the Island Bliss Retreat was epic.
Circumnavigating the island… exploring beaches you can only reach by boat… wading in waist-deep, crystal-clear water… and just vibing with the island rhythm — it was the perfect day with @islandrootscharters — we 🫶🏼 Captain Enzo!

Shoutout to @elizakuchuk for planning such an unforgettable day. 🙌🏼

It was such a vibe that I knew immediately: we’re booking them again for Sunwoven.🌞

Sun, turquoise water, laughter, adventure, and that “nothing on your to-do list” feeling… I cannot wait to bring this energy to our January retreat!☀️🌴

What does fill your cup even mean?!

For us, it’s slow mornings with coffee in hand, jumping into crystal clear water, stumbling across live music on the walk home from dinner, and deep conversations that hit just right.

It’s freedom to be yourself — however that feels good.

It’s hiking through the jungle, feeling like a badass, and swimming with sea turtles while remembering that life IS still magic.✨

This is the energy we’re bringing to Sunwoven.

If you wake up every day with a mental to-do list and you’re always at the bottom — this retreat is for you.

You deserve to feel alive and pour from a place of fullness.🫶🏼

Have you met our girl Kristine? 💛

Here she is, so perfectly doing what she does — moving through life in awe and reminding us to notice the little glimmers that make it all worth it.✨

She’s a creative through and through. Feels deeply. Cares more about the human experience than anyone I know. Utterly self-aware, a lollygagger at heart, and the most beautiful space holder.

She’ll make you feel seen, heard, and understood within minutes of meeting her — and lucky for a few of you, you’ll get to experience her magic for a whole week on retreat this January. 🌞

Small and infinite at the same time.
That’s what this island does to you — it slows everything down until you can actually feel life again.

The rhythm of island days, the salt, the expansiveness, the quiet between it all…

I haven’t posted much because I’ve been here — in it. Nourishing others on retreat while being reminded of how vast life feels when you give yourself space to truly be in it.

Every time I’m back on St. John, it cracks me open in the best way — reminding me why I do this work and why I created Sunwoven in the first place.

It’s that same energy — connection, presence, freedom — woven into every part of the retreat.

Thinking about escaping the cold this winter?❄️✈️🏝️

What if your next trip was a little more intentional—and a lot more fun?

Join me for the annual Sunwoven Women’s Retreat in the U.S. Virgin Islands, January 18–23, 2026.

This boutique island experience blends beach days, hiking, paddle boarding, and sunset sails with space to slow down, connect, and just be.

It’s made for women who want to shake things up a little—whether you’re an empty nester ready for something new, needing a break from the to-dos, or just craving sunshine and good company in the middle of a long winter.

✨ What’s included:
• 6 days on the island of St. John
• Private boutique accommodations
• Daily breakfasts, curated dinners + local lunches
• Beach days, snorkeling, hikes, paddle boarding & sunset sails
• Mindful movement, women’s circle + restorative rituals
• Optional spa day & volunteer outing at the local animal shelter
• All ground transportation & lots of thoughtful touches

You’ll arrive as strangers and leave sun-kissed, recharged, and full of joy (and maybe new travel besties!).

📍 St. John, US Virgin Islands
📅 January 18–23, 2026
💫 Only 3 suites left!

Drop a 🌞 or message me for details—I’d love to tell you more about this one-of-a-kind women’s trip.

A little reminder to myself (and maybe to you too):
I’m standing in what I once wished for.

Some days it feels overwhelming — wrapping up projects, finalizing retreat details, planning ahead — but I know it’s all leading somewhere good.

This season is full, yes.
But it’s also proof that things are moving, expanding, aligning.

This time last year, I was pouring everything I had into building someone else’s vision — slowly losing sight of my own.

Now I’m building a life and business that feels aligned, even when it’s full.
And on the days it feels heavy, I remind myself — this is the best it’s ever been, and it’s only up from here. ✨

Here’s to trusting the process, betting on yourself, and remembering that growth can feel a lot like chaos until it settles into place. 🌿

It’s never just about making sure everyone’s fed — it’s about setting the tone. Creating a space where each woman feels cared for from the moment she sits down.

I pay attention to the little things — food preferences, favorite drinks, and those tiny details that remind you you’re seen, not just another name on a list.

This is where everyone starts to exhale. Where shoulders drop, laughter flows and connection begins.

People sometimes ask how I help attendees move through the first day jitters — the answer is simple: I create a welcoming space and thoughtful environment so when you arrive, you already feel at home.

Because it’s not just about the dinner — it’s about what it represents. Intentionality. Belonging.

And always, always leaving room for one more seat at the table. ✨

“Your retreat is expensive.”

I hear it all the time — three times this week, actually… and I totally get it.

Investing in yourself isn’t always easy.🫶🏼

But here’s the thing: when we actually talk through what’s included, most women realize they’re not just paying for a trip — they’re investing in a transformational experience that holds far more value than the sticker price.

Swipe to see what I mean. 🤍

This is the difference between a vacation… and a curated, high-touch experience designed to stay with you long after it’s over.

Lately I’ve been reminded how good it feels to be fully in it — to close the laptop, put down the phone, and find inspiration in real life again. ✨

Dinner with friends, long crisp fall walks, pumpkin carving and recipe testing for upcoming retreats — it’s the little things that keep me grounded.

And that’s really what all of this is about — remembering how good it feels to be present in your life.

Because when you step away for a while, you’re given space to see life a little more clearly.

So if you’ve been craving a little spark, try stepping away from the noise this week. Go outside. Have a real conversation. Let yourself be in it — whatever it looks like for you. 🌞

#nurturedretreats #sunwovenretreat #islandblissretreat #presenceoverperfection #mindfulliving #selfconnection #retreatyourself #stjohnusvi #slowdownseason #bewhereyourfeetare

I show up here a lot — connecting with women, sharing stories, supporting each other, and creating spaces that just feel good.

Lately, I realized I’d gone a little quiet on my own story. I tend to do that when I’m moving through something or feeling more introspective.

But I’m feeling more open lately, and I want to start connecting with you in ways that feel real and human.

So, here’s a little “re-intro” — even though this barely scratches the surface.

I’d love to know what you relate to, or something unique about you.

Because this space — just like my retreats — has always been about connection, care, and being human together.🤍🫶🏼

I loved the opportunity to connect with other women. It was a great reminder of how much I need these kind of relationships in my daily life. I came back home inspired to put more energy into good relationships that fill me up.
