$297 / Person
A one-day escape designed to help you breathe, reconnect, and reset—so you can come back to your life feeling like you again.
Hosted at Stillwater Stables in Ortonville, Michigan—a serene escape surrounded by nature.
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 the Soothe Spring 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:
-
Fresh air, deep inhales, and zero expectations (besides just being).
-
Because sometimes the best therapy involves hooves, trees, and wide-open spaces.
-
Engage your soul through something simple & creative—no experience needed, just your presence.
-
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
Karissa Pfeffer
Founder of Peri Power | Licensed Realtor | On a mission to help women find clarity and ease in life transitions.
Kris Licata
Founder of Break & Bloom | Fractional Chief of Staff | 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?
-
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).
-
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.
-
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.
Growth Takes a Village (and a Few Trees)

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.)
