March 2023: The PNW Women’s Retreat

March 2-5, 2023

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 you’ll enjoy “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, plenty of hot cocoa, snowshoeing and wintery excursions (btw, no experience required - seriously, you’ve got this), local mountain 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.

Activities

The PNW Women’s Retreat will have a mix of workshops, yoga, and fun winter-y group activities. Meals and workshops will be shared together – however, all other activities will be “choose your own adventure”-style, with fun options to pick from (e.g. snowshoe or visit town)!
