A Season for
the Heart Retreat
Spring in Texas is a season of awakening—wildflowers stretch across open fields, warm breezes sweep through ancient oaks, and the land feels alive with possibility. It’s the perfect time to step away from the noise of daily life and return to the quiet truth of who you are.
This intimate women’s retreat (limited to just 8 women) is designed to help you reconnect—to God, to nature, to your own spiritual creative power, and to a circle of women walking beside you.
A Five-Night, Six-Day Journey Into Renewal, Sisterhood & Spiritual Creation
April 27-May 2, 2026
Bar 17 Ranch - Lampasas, Texas
Why This Retreat Matters
Modern life pulls women in every direction. Responsibilities pile up, hormones shift, emotions get buried, and spiritual well-being often becomes an afterthought. This retreat is your chance to pause, breathe, and hear God in the stillness again.
You’ll Experience:
Renewal of your spiritual identity and your God-given power to create a life filled with purpose, alignment, and joy.
Holistic support for your body through food, movement, hormone understanding, Spinal Flow and Aroma touch.
Emotional clarity and peace through evidence-based emotional intelligence tools.
Deep, lasting sisterhood formed through shared experience, vulnerability, and presence.
A reset for your nervous system, supported by nature, rest, and soulful practices.
“The women who gathered here were extraordinary — mothers, wives, step-moms, women walking through grief, and women healing from painful childhoods. In their stories, prayers, and courage, I found mirrors of my own journey. I connected deeply with another woman walking through grief, and it reminded me that God places the right people in our path at the perfect time.”
– Alexandra P.

Stephanie Estes
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been passionate about health and nutrition! A few years ago, I found myself completely exhausted- physically, mentally, emotionally. I was overwhelmed, anxious, and stuck in a constant state of fight or flight and without the energy to even feel those emotions fully. That was my breaking point - and my turning point. I began to heal my body with food, rest ,and self-compassion. I went back to school to become a functional nutritionist - and geared my learning towards women and hormones. Now, my passion - my purpose- is to help other women navigate this Second Phase of life with confidence, balance, and hope. Because menopause isn’t the end - it’s the beginning of a new Season!
Jen Poulson
I’ve been working with women for over 16 years finally let go of overwhelm, worry and limiting beliefs so they can step into their confident, authentic, joyful selves. I combine Emotional Release Coaching and Spinal Flow Technique to help the nervous system relax and release built-up stress and tension. During this retreat, guests will experience a session that helps their body feel safe, calm, more connected to the Divine, and receive an overall reset. My clients always experience feeling lighter, clearer, and more open to the growth and breakthroughs the retreat is designed to support. *Additional Spinal Flow Sessions are available during free time.
“Marie will guide your practice with kindness and skill. Marie’s gift to attendees is her ability to convey the purpose of the movements, both physically and spiritually. Her many years of teaching and daily practice shine, as she supports students on their journey to a more balanced mind, body, and spirit.”
