Tapestry of a Woman's Soul Retreat


Connect Transform Create

The Tapestry of a Woman’s Soul is a transformative women’s retreat created to guide women through the intricate weaving of their innermost selves. Just as a skilled artisan carefully selects threads to create a masterpiece, this retreat invites you to explore the diverse threads of your own life, emotions, and experiences. Through soul-nourishing connection, circle discussions, deep, reflective and creative art, writing and experiential activities, you will embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment.

Where the continuous narrative woven from the threads of your experience is explored–unraveled to find the old worn out stories that are entwined throughout your life. Where these tattered threads will be released, with new stories woven with threads of perspective, light, hope, and self-love.

Like weaving a rich tapestry, you will learn to honor the complexities of your past, present, and future, while embracing yourself with compassion, grace and love. You will learn new patterns to form an empowering narrative of self-acceptance, resilience, and authenticity.

Throughout the retreat, you will have the opportunity to form deep and meaningful connections with the women within your circle, sharing stories, offering support, and celebrating each other's victories. You will experience the power of individual, as well as collective healing. You will draw inspiration from one another's experiences and perspectives, finding strength within and in solidarity.

 Are you ready to immerse yourself in your Soul’s tapestry, to do deep soul work, to explore your diverse threads, to unravel the complex narratives, to reweave with new perspective and possibilities?

Tapestry of a Woman’s Soul


Her life is a tapestry, woven with threads of resilience and vulnerability, where each intricate stitch mirrors her journey. Like the skilled hands of a master weaver, she navigates through the vibrant hues of joy and the somber tones of sorrow, each emotion intertwining with the next to create a masterpiece of her existence. Through the warp and weft of time, she embraces every twist and turn, transforming pain into strength, uncertainty into wisdom. And as the tapestry of her life unfolds, it reveals not just a woman, but a mosaic of resilience, courage, and grace, woven together in the fabric of her being.

Simplicitude


What if we could…

Unravel the complicated

Create connection in chaos

Change perspective in conflict

Feel solitude without loneliness

Live in gratitude amidst scarcity

Embrace peace in suffering

Engage joy through sorrow

Release shame with truth

Let go of holding on

Be still in the noise?

 The word Simplicitude came to me one day

as I was trying to put a word to what I was desperately seeking in my life.

My quest for peace was elusive.

As the word emerged,

I wondered…

What if the secret to life is NOT about chasing the elusive peace, certainty, resolution, or even a destination, but rather embracing the uncertainty—the space, the dance, the tension between the many opposing forces of our lives?

What if it is that space that brings the greatest understanding, depth, meaning, grace, harmony, beauty and growth to our lives?

What if it is about being curious about the full spectrum of our existence–the dissonance, imbalance, the imperfections, the contradictions? Of having to navigate through the conflict, the struggle, the chaos, and the complicated, the past, the present, the unknown, the uncomfortable, the middle—the in-between, the chasms that threaten the delicate balance, perfection and peace we constantly seek?

I found it's about going into that space

engaging in the struggle

being present

discovering the meaning

& seeking and seeing new possibilities.

What women are saying about Simplicitude Retreats...

From the moment I crossed the threshold of Kri’s space I felt a serenity I had not known I craved.  She has created a safe haven where we are able to free ourselves socially, creatively, spiritually and physically. The aesthetics alone are so remarkable I could spend hours upon hours in silence and feel renewed.  But it is Kri herself that brings light to the restoration experience. Her ability to nurture without invading is refreshing and rare. She is goodness and gentleness. She is laughter and encouragement,  And she has a gift for bringing people together, who have never met before, and making them feel like they’ve been related since ancient times.  Thank you, Kri!

Dear Kri!

I just wanted to thank you for facilitating the retreat. Before I got to the retreat I knew it was going to be a good experience but I didn't know it was going to be a life changing experience! You really have a beautiful gift of seeing people deep in their soul and I had never met someone with such a gift before. You taught me to really see others, trust myself, love deeper, acknowledge my journey and to forgive. I feel different... I now feel this amazing level of peace and clarity that I never thought was possible to reach and you made that happen for me! I will always be eternally grateful and will never forget this beautiful retreat. I'm so glad that I stepped out of my comfort zone and took the leap of faith to attend. The forgiveness exercise that you taught me worked!  I can't describe it, but there's just this feeling of inner peace that I didn't feel before the retreat. Thank you again!!

I came to the retreat hoping to free myself from some past mistakes and things that had happened to me in the past. "Baggage"  that I felt was holding me back and weighing me down.  It exceeded all my expectations.  I was treated with kindness and compassion. The environment was amazingly peaceful, beautiful, inspiring, and fun!  The food and snacks were so nice. Creating art was fun and healing and has left me with beautiful and inspiring reminders of what I learned and of who I want to be. 

The most amazing things I gained were a feeling of peace and of wholeness, the assurance that I am good enough and I have the power to keep going even through hard things.  I feel like it doesn't matter what life throws at me, I can be happy through it.   I have been able to discover a sense of what my purpose is here and I have a renewed desire to go after my dreams and fulfill my purpose and goals.  I think that by taking this time for myself I have been able to be a better mom and able to give and serve those I love.   I have renewed myself, not just like a mere trip or getaway would for a little bit, but truly and deeply, and I know I can listen to and take time for myself and what I need physically, spiritually and emotionally on an ongoing basis.  I am already telling all my sisters, friends and family about how amazing this is!   I can't tell you how grateful I am for the change and inspiration you have been in my life.  I am blessed to have had the opportunity to associate with you and your staff!
