You don’t need to escape your life
You might just need enough space to notice it again
So much of life is spent moving from one thing to the next. Taking care of people. Answering messages. Making decisions. Getting things done. Even our "downtime" somehow ends up full.
Have you been…
✔ Moving from one responsibility to the next without much room to simply be?
✔ Taking care of everyone else while quietly putting yourself further down the list?
✔ Feeling tired, overwhelmed, or like even your downtime isn't really downtime?
✔ Craving meaningful connection beyond texts, group chats, and social media?
✔ Missing the version of you who notices little things, laughs easily, creates, explores, and feels present?
If any of this feels familiar, you don’t need to become better at carrying it all. You may simply need a little space to set some of it down.
An invitation to step outside your daily rhythm
A weekend to slow down, exhale, and remember what it feels like to simply be you.
Not to become a new version of yourself. Not to fix anything.
To slow down long enough to reconnect with the version of you that’s already there.
Through mindfulness, movement, nature, sound, creativity, nourishing meals, meaningful conversation, and plenty of room to simply breathe, we’ll explore what it feels like to be fully present in our own lives.
More importantly, we’ll practice simple ways to return to that presence long after the weekend is over.
This isn’t just a pause from everyday life.
It’s practice for everyday life.

The Experience
A weekend with nowhere else you need to be.
For a few days, we’re trading schedules, notifications, and the constant pull of what’s next for something much simpler: being where we are.
Throughout the weekend, you’ll be invited to practice presence in different ways - through movement and stillness, nature and sound, creativity and conversation, shared meals and quiet moments.
01 / Mindful movement
Gentle yoga, vinyasa, yin, meditation, and breathwork designed to help you return to your body.
02 / Deep rest
Immersive sound baths, quiet reflection, and plenty of room to rest without needing to earn it.
03 / Nature + Connection
Mindful walks, animal connection, garden time, and a sunrise labyrinth walk.
04 / Creativity + Reflection
Journaling, art, guided reflection, and meaningful conversations that invite curiosity rather than pressure.
Thoughtfully prepared meals, mindful eating, and coffee and tea to enjoy throughout the weekend.
05 / Nourishment
Bonfires, shared experiences, and genuine connection with the women beside you without forced vulnerability or pressure to perform.
06 / Community

Meet your weekend besties
Hi, we're Andrena + Marilynn.
Blissful Besties began as two lifelong friends supporting each other through life's messy, beautiful seasons and discovering along the way that mindfulness is a whole lot better when it's shared.
We created this retreat with the same intention behind everything we do: to create a welcoming space to slow down, reconnect, and experience wellness in a way that feels approachable, joyful, and real.
We can't wait to spend the weekend with you. 💕
