October 2-5th, 2025 | Lake Harmony, PA
We’re gathering October 2–5 in a cozy home on Lake Harmony in the heart of the Pocono Mountains — where golden leaves crunch underfoot, the lake shimmers with early autumn light, and transformation is in the air.
You’ll spend the weekend making beautiful, hands-on DIY projects, sharing slow meals, and connecting with women on a similar path of expansion. There’ll be time to create, rest, laugh, cry, and remember who you are underneath all the busyness.
This retreat is equal parts practical and powerful: you’ll learn new skills, build something real, and leave with both tangible projects and inner shifts you can carry back into everyday life.
Whether you’re craving reconnection, creativity, or just a quiet place to land — there’s space for you here.

October 2–5, 2025 (Thursday evening through Sunday morning).
Your retreat pass covers everything you need for a cozy, creatively-charged weekend:
– 3-night stay in a beautiful cabin on Lake Harmony
– All meals from Thursday dinner through Sunday breakfast (with snacks + sips in between)
– A weekend of hands-on creative workshops, soulful activations, and surprise moments of magic
– Maike goodies to take home — like an apron and cute safety glasses — to inspire you to keep making long after the weekend ends
— Connection, inspiration, and lots of cozy creative energy + hopefully new friends you can stay connected with
Think beginner-friendly builds, intuitive creative sessions, and a few power tool moments (don’t worry — we’ve got you!). No experience needed, just curiosity.
Nope! We’ll provide everything you need — just bring yourself, clothes you can get a little messy in, and a willingness to play and create.
Absolutely. Many attendees come on their own — this space is built to help you feel connected and welcomed from the start. You’ll leave with new friends, promise.
You’ll choose your room type when you book. If you’re booking a shared room and coming solo, you’ll be paired with whoever else books that space — we’ll do our best to keep things comfortable and cozy.
(And if you're booking a shared king alone and the other spot doesn’t fill, we may shift you to another shared room.)
Cozy, connective, and a little bit magical. Think: fireside chats, sawdust and soul, creativity meets ceremony. Like a wellness retreat—but with more color, more laughter, more aliveness. Less sleepy, more sparked.
Tickets are non-refundable but are transferable. If you can’t make it, you’re welcome to gift or resell your spot — just let us know so we can update the guest list.
Clothes you can get messy in – We’ll be painting, building, and making magic. Expect sawdust and splashes.
Swimsuit – For dips in the hot tub or lakeside lounging.
Layers – October in the Poconos can be cozy or crisp, so bring comfy layers for fireside chats and early morning coffee runs.
Shoes with grip – For both nature walks and stepping confidently into your DIY era.
PJs + slippers – For that classic cabin-core moment.
Reusable water bottle – Stay hydrated, creative soul.
Any personal wellness items – Like supplements, meds, or your favorite tea.
An extra bag (especially if you’re flying) – We’ll be building all weekend, and you’ll likely want space to bring home your handmade projects and Maike goodies.
We’ll provide all workshop tools and supplies—plus a Maike apron and cute gold safety glasses to keep you stylish and covered while creating.
Attendees will self-arrive at the cabin on Lake Harmony. Once everyone’s booked, we’ll help connect you with other guests in case you'd like to carpool or share a ride.
