Hi, Love Muffin!

In 2025, I found myself again on the slopes. Somewhere between the cold air, the movement, and the quiet beauty of the mountains, I felt alive in a way I hadn’t in a long time. It reminded me that joy isn’t behind us. It’s still available, still waiting, often in places that invite us to be fully present.

This ski week was created because I want that feeling for you too. Space to breathe. To move. To laugh. And to form meaningful connections with women who feel like kindred spirits. My hope is that you arrive exactly as you are and leave lighter, clearer, and with a few new friendships that stay with you long after the snow melts.

xoxo, Dawn

This retreat is for the woman in her second half of life who knows there’s more.
More laughter. More presence. More feeling fully alive in her body and her days. She’s done performing, over-scheduling, and proving. She’s not trying to become someone new - she’s remembering who she is. This experience is for women who want meaningful connection without small talk, adventure without pressure, and space to breathe again. Whether you ski every chance you get or prefer the fireplace, the spa, and slow village mornings, this trip meets you where you are and invites you back to yourself - rested, energized, and deeply alive.

Who is the retreat for?

Our mornings begin in two different rhythms, both unhurried in their own way. Skiers rise early, not out of pressure but out of anticipation, easing into the day with coffee before heading out for lessons or a full morning on the mountain. Non-skiers enjoy a slower start, lingering over breakfast and coffee by the fire before choosing from a menu of relaxed winter experiences such as spa appointments, village wandering, tubing, scenic gondola rides, snowmobiling, or simply staying cozy fireside with a good book. There is no pressure to keep pace here. The week is designed to honor how you want to move through your days.

Each afternoon becomes our daily touchpoint, when everyone comes back together for drinks, cookies, s’mores, and fireside conversation. It is the heartbeat of the week, a place to laugh, swap stories, and reconnect before the evening unfolds. Evenings remain flexible and low-key, with dinner on your own, early nights, or lingering chats by the fire until our final night. We close the week together with a signature experience, a sleigh ride up the mountain to Beano’s Cabin, followed by a cozy, candlelit farewell dinner and a moment to pause, reflect, and mark the season you are in. You will leave rested, connected, and deeply alive.

A Peek at the Ski Trip

our beautiful accommodations! 

We’ll be calling the Park Hyatt Beaver Creek Resort and Spa home, and whether you ski or not, this place gets it. Yes, it’s legendary for true ski-in/ski-out access, but it’s just as perfect if your version of a great day includes cozy fireside mornings, spa time, village strolls, hot chocolate breaks, and long, unrushed conversations. The rooms are warm and beautiful, the common spaces are made for lingering, and everything you need is right outside the door, no shuttles, no stress, no feeling left out. Skiers come and go from the slopes, non-skiers settle in and savor the day, and everyone meets back up for that relaxed, “this is exactly where I’m supposed to be” kind of afternoon. It’s luxury without pressure—and the perfect backdrop for rest, connection, and a little mountain magic.

After flying into PNS, the main Pensacola International Airport, we will arrange to pick you up at the airport with a cute little sign with your name on it. You’ll be able to connect with fellow attendees in our small Facebook group—who knows; you may even live in the same city!

The retreat runs from Friday at 3pm CT to Sunday at 5 pm CT. It is 25 minutes from Trinity to the PNS airport. When making travel arrangements, it is best to plan to attend the entire program so as not to miss any of the planned experiences. If you can, stay a few extra days to enjoy the sugar-white sands of Pensacola Beach. Don’t forget; we will pick you up and drop you off at the airport so a rental car is not needed unless you are expending your stay for several days.

I’m intentionally keeping our retreats to a small, intimate number of MAX 15 guests. This size allows for deep connections and even significant breakthroughs. In addition to the 15 guests, we will have three mentors, and don’t forget my mom and dad are next door too!

In September, October and April the weather is usually gorgeous. With temperature highs in the 80's and the lows in the 60's, it can't be beat. 

*Florida weather can change frequently. Make sure to check the weather before the retreat and pack accordingly (light jackets and small umbrellas are always a good idea).

I know that the world is crazy right now, and it’s hard to put a no refund policy into place. However, so much of what we are doing is customized and personalized for each guest, so retreats are nonrefundable, but you can put the monies towards a future retreat. We will only allow you to move to another retreat ONCE.
