Why Kate & Nicci Created This

We are two women whose paths first crossed on the other side of the world.

Nearly a decade ago, we were stationed together in the Middle East—half a globe from home. We didn’t know then what our friendship would become. Through years of change, military life, relationships, heartbreak, healing, sobriety, new dreams, old dreams, and countless conversations that somehow always picked up exactly where we left off, we kept finding our way back to one another.

We became witnesses to each other’s lives.

The kind of friendship that gently reminds you who you are when you’ve forgotten.

That is the heart behind this retreat.

Somewhere along the way, many of us forget. We forget how to trust ourselves. We forget that rest is sacred. We forget that wonder is necessary. We forget that we belong—not because we’ve earned it, but because we always have.

And perhaps most of all, we forget that we are part of creation, not separate from it.

When we stand before mountains that have existed for millions of years, hear glaciers crack across ancient lakes, and breathe air untouched by hurry, something inside us begins to settle.

This retreat isn’t about escaping your life. It’s about returning to it differently.
