A Pacific Northwest Gem
Just across the water from Seattle, WA but with the feeling you’re worlds away, is our location for the weekend - Indianola, WA.
A small forested, beachside community on the Kitsap Peninsula (a 30min ferry ride and short drive from both downtown Seattle or Edmonds). Indianola is a place of overwhelming beauty and serenity. You can’t help but slow down here, take it all in and reconnect with nature and yourself. We can’t wait to share this beloved hidden gem with those who join us.
We happily offer a free ferry shuttle service for those who would like to join the retreat and walk-on to the ferry!
**We would like to acknowledging and honoring that the land on which we will gather is within the aboriginal territory of the suq̀wabš — ‘People of Clear Salt Water’ (Suquamish People).
The Private Retreat Space
The beautiful retreat space includes two 3 bedroom houses side by side on a private family property. Each home features unique and artistic details and an overall feeling of comfort and rejuvenation. The two homes are joined together by several garden, lawn and patio spaces for us to gather together. The layout of each house allows for plenty of space to retreat in your private room as well when looking for some healing solitude and rest.

“Rest & Awaken was exactly what I was hoping for in a retreat and then some: lush, restorative, and supportive. From the gorgeous, cozy setting, the delightful and informative workshops, to the absolutely incredible fresh meals, it was truly soul filling. Sterling and Nicole are a beautiful, balanced team and cultivate a space of care, wisdom, and joy. They are talented women, generally bringing their gifts to others to create a retreat filled with opportunities for self care, growth, and creation. Thank you both - and to Chelsea and Vanessa too, for such an amazing retreat!”

"I had a wonderful time. It was the perfect homey location. I felt relaxed the entire time! The choice of guest practitioners was exceptional and Nicole / Sterling both created an incredible space for growth, healing, and empowerment. So much of the words and information I picked up over my weekend with you has resurfaced and provided new clarity. I would recommend to anyone interested that they invest in the entire weekend, the extra time for bonding and sisterhood is worth it!"

"Sterling & Nicole hosted such a beautiful retreat. The food was incredible, the company was lovely, and the atmosphere was calm & grounding yet expansive - exactly what I needed. I loved the various workshops that were offered and I left the weekend feeling more at-home in my body, but also feeling like I had the tools to continue the growth after I left."

“Sterling and Nicole provided a safe and supported environment that allowed a group of women to come together and connected through vulnerability. The retreat experience was the perfect combination of doing introspective work while also feeling connected and held by amazing women and I truly believe everyone needs to be doing this once a year at least; unplugging from the daily grind and reconnecting to oneself.”
