Program Overview

Discover a restorative and deeply connective retreat designed exclusively for women in the heart of the Adirondacks. Step away from daily demands and into a supportive community where self-nourishment takes center stage. Surrounded by Great Camp Sagamore’s historic charm and the healing energy of the land, participants explore practices that cultivate presence, strength, and authentic connection.

This immersive extended weekend brings together mindful movement, nature-based healing, and women’s wellness education. It helps you reconnect with your inner compass and feel fully rooted: physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Throughout the weekend, you’ll be guided through experiences designed to balance your energy and awaken your senses. Begin each day with gentle movement, inviting breath and intention into your morning. Explore the woods, where the quiet strength of the Adirondack landscape supports grounding and renewal.

Workshops on women’s pelvic floor, inner connection, and self-support practices offer tools for understanding and honoring your body.

Shared time with other women helps build a sense of community rooted in empathy and encouragement. Together, we’ll celebrate our stories, our strength, and the restorative power of nature.

In addition to these enriching activities, you’ll enjoy Great Camp Sagamore's historic charm and comfort. Delight in nourishing meals, connect with a community of like-minded individuals, and take time to focus on your well-being. Discover the magic of Great Camp Sagamore and return home with a renewed sense of vitality and peace. We can’t wait to welcome you to the serene beauty of Great Camp Sagamore for a weekend of renewal and self-discovery!

No meditation or yoga experience is required.
