Our retreats
“I realized my internal thoughts and dreams I’ve kept to myself are actually ideas to be spoken out loud to validate and make them a reality”
— 2022 retreat participant
Each year, we host a variety of retreats in beautiful locations across the country.
At these retreats, the only priority is self-care. That means something different for everyone, so we leave room and options in our schedule for things like yoga and meditation, journaling, hiking, stargazing and singing over campfires, and so much more.
In addition to relaxing, recharging, and connecting with other amazing women, we also do soul-growth and self-love exercises encapsulated into 3-4 workshops throughout the weekend. Our proprietary retreat experience includes purpose, pine, and permanence sessions that will challenge your ways of thinking, enable dialogue with other women with similar experiences, and empower you to consider what makes you “you.” It’s a healthy balance of exploration, real talk, and empowering tips/tricks to take home with you.
Women from all walks of life, retired or just beginning careers, mothers or daughters, single or married, have joined us on our retreats - wherever you are in your life, that part just doesn’t matter to us. We’ll meet you where you’re at. If you’re interested in joining us, we would love to have you. At our retreats, some women come with friends, some come solo, and some come with family. No matter your situation, we’ve got you, and you’re welcome to join us.
Please reach out to purposeandpineretreats @ gmail.com if you have any questions or if you have an idea for an amazing retreat location or topic. We can’t wait to meet you!

March 2-5, 2023: The PNW Women’s Retreat
#winterwonderlandvibes
Have you ever seen the Cascade Mountains in the wintertime? It’s an experience unlike any other. Just within a 2 hour drive from Seattle are majestic, scenic mountains and views for days. That’s why we chose a location that’s easy to get to, safe to enjoy, and so close to Seattle for our second retreat.
Have you ever snowshoed? Wanted to try? Purpose and Pines Co-Founder Kristen had never before 2021 - but she discovered it’s literally just like walking - seriously - but so gorgeous and peaceful. Kristen has handpicked snowshoe trails that will leave you with breathtaking beauty and gratitude.
So come on and join in the fun of the inaugural Pacific Northwest women’s winter retreat! Get cozy at a gorgeous luxury lodge for a long weekend of soul-stirring workshops, yoga and meditation, cozy warm meals, hot cocoa, snowshoeing and wintery excursions (btw, no experience required - seriously, you’ve got this), local boutique town exploration, and lots of deep belly laughs. As a reminder, the retreat location will be within a 2 hour drive of Seattle, and transportation from the airport will be available.
August 2023: The Maine Women’s Retreat
August 24-27, 2023
#mainelakelifevibes
In 2023, we’ll be hosting our second retreat at Alford Lake Camp. It’s a gorgeous time of year in midcoast Maine, so expect to swim in the lake, canoe, stargaze, do yoga sessions in the pines beside the lake, canoe on the lake, go on epic local hikes, and rest up in a “glamping”-style tent or a cozy rustic cabin accommodation.
This experience is a “not to be missed” opportunity to get outside to clear your mind, relax, and connect with amazing women in a beautiful, rustic, and natural setting nestled in the woods. There will be plenty of built-in time to relax, journal in the pines, drink coffee in the farmhouse, and share great meals with other amazing women. Plus, you will get to experience the famous “sharing rock” in the pines that has been a life-changing experience for many Alford Lake women for decades (trust us!).
The retreat location is a 1.5 hour drive from Portland near two gorgeous coastal towns, so we’d recommend staying in the area for a few nights too if you can make that work – transportation from the airport will be available!
