Yoga and Wellness Retreats
Leave the demands of daily life, experience restoration, renewal and discovery
The Retreat Ladies, founded by Dawn Hopkins and Sara Chesterfield, bring together a collective of gifted teachers, wellness professionals, and healers who are passionate about creating meaningful experiences that nourish the body, mind, and soul. Through inspiring yoga and wellness programs offered locally, nationally, and internationally, we create opportunities for women to reconnect with themselves, find balance, and experience the transformative power of intentional self-care.
From evening mini-retreats and immersive day retreats to multi-day getaways and week-long international wellness journeys, our experiences are thoughtfully designed to help you step away from the stress, busyness, and demands of everyday life. Whether you join us for a few hours or an entire week, you’ll be invited to slow down, replenish your energy, and prioritize your well-being.
Through restorative practices, movement, mindfulness, personal reflection, meaningful connection, and supportive community, you’ll discover space to rest, heal, grow, and reconnect with what matters most. Our retreats offer a sanctuary for deep restoration, self-discovery, spiritual connection, and personal transformation in a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment.
Join us in a welcoming and supportive community where you can refill your cup, cultivate resilience, deepen your sense of purpose, and remember the wholeness that has always been within you.
Rest. Renew. Reconnect. Return home to yourself.
Upcoming Retreats for Women
Floating in Moonlight
Summer Full Moon Float
August 28 from 6:30-9:30 pm
After a few years away, one of our most-loved summer experiences is finally returning… because we know how much you’ve missed it.
And honestly? We have too.
Join “The Retreat Ladies” for the long-awaited return of our magical Floating in Moonlight: Summer Full Moon Float — an unforgettable evening of relaxation, connection, healing, and feminine energy under the glow of the full moon.
There’s something deeply healing about water. It calms the nervous system, soothes the soul, melts away stress, and invites us back into flow. Considering both the human body and the earth are made up of nearly 70% water, it’s no wonder we feel transformed when we immerse ourselves in it.
For centuries, water has been used as a powerful source of healing and renewal — helping to restore the body, quiet the mind, and nourish the spirit. This special evening is your invitation to experience those benefits for yourself in a beautiful, safe, and welcoming environment surrounded by like-minded women.
Float beneath the moonlight.
Breathe deeply.
Release stress.
Reconnect with yourself.
Celebrate the divine feminine.
And soak in the magic of summer.
Your evening includes:
✨ Gentle Movement
✨ Floating Meditation
✨ Crystal Bowl Sound Healing
✨ Happy Hour with Light Snacks & Beverages
✨ A Special Gift for Every Guest
Friday, August 28 from 6:30–9:30 PM

Water has the power to heal. Let it heal your soul and bring you peace.
Nourish: A Women's Retreat for Rest,
Renewal & Connection
February 26 – March 1, 2026
When was the last time you truly nourished yourself?
Not with another item on your to-do list, but with the gift of time, presence, rest, and care.
In a world that constantly asks us to do more, give more, and be more, many women find themselves running on empty. We care for others, meet endless responsibilities, and push through exhaustion, often forgetting that our own well-being matters too.
Nourish is an invitation to step away from the demands of daily life and into a sacred space of rest, renewal, and connection. Nestled in the serene high desert landscape of Oracle, Arizona, this retreat offers an opportunity to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself in the company of a supportive community of women.
Over four nourishing days, you’ll experience restorative yoga, yoga therapy, qigong, zen yoga, embodiment practices, meditation, sound healing, creative expression, and time in nature. Each experience is thoughtfully designed to help regulate the nervous system, release stress, cultivate presence, and restore balance to the body, mind, and soul.
Together, we’ll explore what it means to move from depletion to replenishment, from striving to being, and from disconnection to deeper connection—with ourselves, one another, and what matters most.
This retreat is not about fixing yourself or becoming someone new. It’s about returning to the wisdom, wholeness, and vitality that already exist within you.
Whether you are seeking rest, healing, inspiration, community, or simply a chance to catch your breath, you will be welcomed exactly as you are. No experience is necessary. Women of all ages and ability levels are invited to join us.
Come nourish your body. Come calm your mind. Come reconnect with your spirit. Come fill your cup.
Because when we care for ourselves well, we show up more fully for every part of our lives.

Testimonials
The Retreat Ladies are wonderful. I feel very fortunate to have been able to participate in a few of their full day mini retreats. These retreats are food for the soul. Sara and Dawn are down to earth, warm and welcoming. If you have the opportunity to take some time out for yourself to nurture your mind, body and soul please do. I always leave a better person for having attended and I am grateful for the work they do! ~Claudette
I have attended several of the mini retreats with Dawn and Sara. It is a vacation every time and is so needed! They are welcoming and authentic, I feel so cared for by these ladies. I have learned a lot about myself during the retreats. Thank you! ~Marti
Dawn and Sara’s mini retreat workshop was amazing. The flow of all we did was perfectly planned out – plenty enough time for all components and nothing ever felt rushed. It was great to connect with other like-minded women in a small group but large enough to interact with a diverse group. Dawn and Sara’s knowledge in their area is fantastic. The retreat also provided each of us with resources to continue the learning and growing. Thank you! ~Donna
I enjoyed the one-day “Intention-Setting Mini Retreat” with Dawn and Sara. As a newcomer, I felt at ease-positive attitudes and vibes from this group of ladies. The day was creating a “Vision” instead of a Resolution. The tools provided started with restorative yoga, questions/journaling, meditation, mindful eating, vision board and Qi Gong. We shared feelings and thoughts allowing us to set a purpose and make our vision come to fruition. It was a well-planned session, with just enough time to complete what we started. Thank you. ~Anna
