FOR INFORMATION ON UPCOMING WOMEN'S RETREATS PLEASE VISIT OUR EVENTS PAGE
The main purpose of the women's retreats is to provide time away from the pressures of the world, a safe place to breathe, and a safe place to learn, heal, and grow.
Several Women's Retreats are offered throughout the year. Usually Winter, Spring, and fall in different locations throughout the Pacific Northwest as well as Utah and Arizona. Check the events page for upcoming dates and locations.
Prices range from $365 to $535 per participant depending on location and duration. This fee includes lodging with shared rooms. Each participant helps to provide and prepare at least one meal for the rest of the group. This may be a small group effort or an individual effort depending on the size of the group.
The retreats range from 7 to 20 participants.
It is difficult to explain what exactly takes place at the retreats, one particular participant who has come to Women's Retreat again and again once answered the question of what retreat was like in this way: "We hug, we cry, we laugh, we cry some more, we hug some more, and we laugh some more, and we always walk away feeling refreshed and renewed."
I love this answer.
At every retreat we set ground rules that everyone contributes to and agrees to follow, the ground rules help to create a safe place, we also follow a pretty strict schedule. If participants choose to not follow these ground rules they may be asked to leave as they are key in helping to keep the space safe for all who come.
At each retreat we take time to be silent, follow journal prompts, participate in different personal growth activities that vary from retreat to retreat depending on the theme and location, and we have scheduled free time each day.
Below you can read what some participants have to say about their own experiences.

“Woman’s retreat is a place to reflect on, explore and process the lessons from life experiences through facilitated activities and sacred space. The time to unplug from daily routine is priceless and Rhonda is an excellent facilitator of personal growth opportunities. Retreats have certainly helped my spiritual evolution toward greater balance and compassion for myself and others. I am so grateful for the powerful healing of women’s retreats!”
“These retreats are so needed in my life. Rhonda brings and encourages a beautifully accepting, loving and SAFE space for personal growth. The work that we are able to do in that space has brought such joy to my life. It's helped give me the ability to see myself in way that I have not been able to in the past...I am enough...I am worthy of love.”
Going to Retreat helps give you a fresh and hopeful outlook on life. Being around positive people and looking inside yourself for things that you love and things you need to change, is a real growing experience. Rhonda always brings out the good in you. You leave the retreat excited, refreshed and looking forward to the next one.”
“I love Rhonda’s retreats. She has a way of creating space where women can come together to connect with each other and do their mental work. I’ve learned a lot from the thoughtful and reflective activities that challenge me to really look inside and see myself, and I’ve met some amazing women who have become life long friends. I attended my first retreat in 2018 and have been back as often as time would allow. I highly recommend these retreats to anyone looking for a safe space to unwind and to do the mental work that’s so difficult to keep up on in our daily lives!”
"I really enjoyed this women's retreat. I personally struggled with a few of the assignments but there were quite a number of them that really stretched my thinking. I loved the moments of silence as well as the small moments of free time; that is when I really got to thinking. I met some very lovely ladies and even connected with some of them. Which is very difficult for me. At this retreat, I was able to really dig deep into my mind... dig into my subconscious. I got to the root of my challenges quickly and was able to resolve it and take with me some tools to help me later on. I can't even remember when my mind was ever this quiet and free... if it even was. I don't feel a lot of heavy weight on my shoulders anymore. I feel like the muscles in my shoulder have become less tight. This has been the first of many attempts of healing that has helped me the most. Rhonda is really good at what she does, I would recommend trying a retreat at least once in your life... maybe more.”
“I was very nervous about going to a retreat where I wouldn’t know anyone else, only Rhonda. Now I go every time I can! Retreat is a wonderful experience where we are safe to be authentic and to be present with one another. I always leave feeling renewed and reconnected."
“Trying to find words as I write this testimonial is difficult. How to put into words the connection, self-awareness, being present, growth, love, and acceptance that happens. The Retreats are like taking a deep cleansing breath. They feed the body and soul. My experience is that I am filled from Retreats and what spills over into my life is deep connection with myself and others on such a greater level. I love them so much! That sums it up, truly I love them! I am grateful to um…. nothing less than amazing Rhonda who facilitates the Retreats. And I want to add gratitude to each woman who has attended and brought their unique gifts and shared them in this beautiful space.”
“I feel so fortunate to have been able to attend the “Your Journey Women’s Retreats” facilitated by Rhonda Monson. The venues always seem to be just perfect for every retreat, where every single attendee is able to grow in her own way, at her own pace. The retreats are always such a gift to participate in, as there is always an incredible diversity of women from all walks of life, who are walking their own paths, but able to create bonds and memories that can last a lifetime. It is always a special time to be able to leave everything behind and to focus on group and individual experiences, filling each woman’s heart with new treasures of life. I feel so absolutely privileged to have been able to participate in multiple retreats over the last few years. The mental, spiritual, and emotional growths and personal truths that are born from these experiences are difficult to put in just a few words. Every woman that attends, leaves the retreat having experienced a “journey of awakening” in her soul, having experienced genuine warmth, and a special sisterhood together. Not only is every woman’s soul fed, but the incredibly delicious food that is prepared fills hungry appetites. It’s always a shared experience in preparation of the meals, each woman benefitting from the delicious nourishment. If you ever have the opportunity to attend one of the “Your Journey Women’s Retreats, you too will have your spirit and soul filled to the brim, and delight in sharing your experience with somebody else. I highly recommend these women’s retreats…A truly beautiful experience.”
"My first retreat was just after I completed a 2 year recovery program. I just hit my 2 year anniversary from being clean from drugs. My sister asked if I wanted to attend. I was scared, nervous and unsure what to expect. I was welcomed with open arms from everyone who attended. I was still ashamed sharing that I was an addict and to share things that I was struggling with at that time was not the easiest. Hearing what others were going thru, had similar struggles or that they could relate or understand helped me to know I was not alone. By the end of the retreat not only did I lose the label "addict" in my mind but that I was "Redeemed" in all sense of the word. The woman who come to each of these retreats are amazing! You will gain life long friends who help to build you up and will always love on you no matter where you are in life. I have attended several since my first one and plan to continue to as I learn, grow and heal every time I attend. I have never regretted a moment being with Rhonda and these spectacular women!"
"I was very hesitant to attend one of Rhonda’s retreats but after my mom and my daughter each went to one and came home with positive experiences I decided to give it a try. I was able to attend with my mom and it was in the midst of a very difficult time in our lives, and while some of the activities were extremely emotionally draining they were very needed and healing overall. I especially appreciate the safe environment that is created at the very beginning of the retreat. I met some wonderful women (something I don’t easily do) and I’m looking forward to attending another retreat in the future."
