A chance to pause
and reconnect
Many of us want to feel more connected to ourselves, the people we care about and the life happening around us. Yet our phones can quietly pull us away. A quick check becomes scrolling, messages or work emails and before we know it, our attention is somewhere else.
In my work as a therapist, I often hear people talk about wanting to spend less time on their phones and more time feeling present in their relationships and daily lives. I have felt that pull too.
This is not a strict digital detox. It is a chance to slow down, notice where your attention is going and create more room for presence, conversation and genuine connection.
What the experience includes
Opening Retreat
A three-hour in-person retreat at
Water’s Edge with reflection, experiential activities and meaningful connection.
Guided Workbook
A thoughtfully created workbook to help
you reflect and carry the experience
into everyday life.
Optional Virtual Gatherings
Three Tuesday evening gatherings for continued reflection, support and connection.
Gourmet Lunch
A relaxed lunch at Water’s Edge, included as part of the retreat experience.
Optional Shoreline Walks
Time outside to slow down, connect and continue the conversation, weather permitting.
Take-Home Gift Bag
A thoughtfully prepared gift bag
with items to support you beyond
the retreat.
You can participate in as much or as little of the optional follow-up support as feels helpful to you.
