Time to Bloom
Women's Retreat
April 18, 2026
What is budding in you? What has lain dormant for years or decades? What's your vision for your life?
Our hosts will help you answer these questions in a joy-filled celebration of who you are and exploration of what it would look like to reach full bloom.
​
Whether you're preparing for a life transition, rekindling an old hobby, infusing more whimsy into your daily routine, or something else is budding — we have something special planned for you.
What to Expect
-
Wonder: Celebrate the beauty already present in your one wild and precious life.

The Space
We meet at a private retreat center in Vadnais Heights.​
​
Its cozy living room, quiet nooks, communal dining table, and spacious loft — all beautifully and serenely decorated — are the perfect backdrop for our celebration and exploration.
​
Weather permitting, we will also spend time in the large sunlight yard and comfortable patios.

Your Guides
Jennifer Westpfahl of Be. Retreats helps people find wholeness — a place of fulfillment and completion — through retreats, workshops, and 1:1 spiritual direction. She says that no matter where you are in life, it's always the right time to ask, "How can I live authentically as me?"
​
Katie Koranda of Juniper House knows that life demands space, and she fosters sacred and healing space through 1:1 spiritual direction, especially for people experiencing grief, loss, and marginalization. She journeys with people as they "live the questions now."
