You Can’t Pour From an Empty Cup. Let’s Refill It.

You’re juggling it all:

✔ Big work deadlines.
✔ Family chaos.
✔ And, oh yeah—your sanity.

Let’s be real:

  • You’re exhausted. Even when you “rest,” your brain doesn’t stop.

  • You’ve lost yourself. You can’t remember what it feels like to just be.

  • You’re scared to stop. What if everything falls apart?

That’s where our Women’s Day Retreat comes in.

This retreat is for you if:

  • You’re a high-achieving woman feeling the weight of burnout.

  • You crave a day to reconnect with yourself away from daily demands.

  • You’re seeking clarity, creativity, and a mental reset.

In just one day, you’ll:

  • Typography graphic with the phrase 'breathe AGAIN' in black text on a white background.

    Fresh air, deep inhales, and zero expectations (besides just being).

  • Text saying 'reconnect with NATURE' in black font, with 'reconnect with' in cursive and 'NATURE' in bold uppercase letters.

    Because sometimes the best therapy involves hooves, trees, and wide-open spaces.

  • Creative black and white text that says 'create w/ your HANDS' in a handwritten and bold font style.

    Engage your soul through something simple & creative—no experience needed, just your presence.

  • Black and white text graphic with the words 'ground YOURSELF' in different font styles.

    Walk among the trees, find stillness, and press “refresh” on your mind and spirit.

The Flow of the Day

Your day will unfold naturally, weaving together moments of creativity, calm, and connection with nature.

We’ll begin with a warm welcome over light breakfast bites, coffee, and tea. From there, we’ll move into hands-on creative projects indoors before stepping outside to let nature guide us—walking, reflecting, and resetting in the fresh air. Midday, enjoy a locally catered lunch, thoughtfully prepared with love by a woman-owned business.

MEET YOUR HOSTS

Two Women Who Get It

Kris Licata

Creator of The Unscattered Business Method | Business Coach | On a mission to help ambitious humans avoid burnout.

We met years ago in corporate life:

Karissa in Finance, Kris in Marketing. Back then, we were the “go-to” women for high-pressure projects and chaotic challenges. And for a while, we thrived on it (…until we didn’t).

Burnout hit hard, and we had a choice:

1.) Keep pushing through at the expense of everything.

2.) Or break free and rewrite the rules of success.

We chose freedom.

Together, we’ve taken everything we’ve learned—from the chaos of corporate life to the joy of building intentional businesses—and poured it into this retreat.

Why Join Us?

  • Text graphic with the words "we're REAL" in bold black font on a white background.

    No fluff, no corporate icebreakers, no fake “zen.” We’re Karissa and Kris—two women who’ve felt the exhaustion, hit pause, and are rebuilding with purpose. We’ve lived the struggle, and we’re here to support you on your journey (or right where you are).

  • Text image that says 'it's PERSONAL' in bold and cursive font

    This isn’t a cookie-cutter retreat. It’s small, intimate, and crafted with care around YOUR transformation. You won’t get lost in a crowd—this is about real connections, real breakthroughs, and real progress designed for where you are now.

  • Text graphic that says 'it's designed FOR YOU' with 'it's designed' in cursive and 'FOR YOU' in bold uppercase.

    If you’re a high-achieving woman who’s tired of burnout and just wants to feel like herself again, this is it. Come as you are. Leave feeling clear, light, and actually excited about what’s next.

Do I Really Need This?

Let’s put it this way…

Right now you’re on the edge of burnout, thinking, “I’ll slow down once I finish [insert never-ending task].”

After this retreat, you’ll feel lighter, clearer, and more like yourself than you have in a while.

Why? Because rest is fuel. Creativity needs space. Your brain needs a break. Oh, and your nervous system is begging for this 😉

The Investment (and Worth Every Penny!)

Here’s what you get for less than the cost of a stress-induced shopping spree:

✔ A full day of recalibrating your life—no flights to Bali, just intentional rest and a clear path forward.
✔ Hands-on experiences you can’t Google—refreshing, soul-reviving, and totally unexpected.
✔ Guided by two ambitious women who get it—burnout survivors creating space for your transformation.
✔ A legit mental reset in the serene Stillwater setting—where the trees, fresh air, and open skies do the heavy lifting.
✔ Clarity that only comes from slowing down—leaving you focused, fulfilled, and recharged to tackle life.

FAQs

  • Great news: We’re not, either. No drum circles. No forced vulnerability. Just real, down-to-earth experiences that actually help.

  • You can, and you should. One day away from your inbox won’t break your business or career—but burnout will.

  • Nope. But if you’ve ever been stressed out and magically felt better after stepping outside? That’s nature doing its thing.

  • Yourself, comfy clothes + shoes, and an open mind. (We’ll handle the rest.)
