A carefully curated, by invitation retreat that brings together powerful women who are committed to a holistic approach to self-realization and their Soul Purpose.

Imagine coming together with 50 women...
On 230 acres of pristine nature—all to ourselves—in the heart of Southern California.

As you arrive, something begins to soften. The noise, the pressure, the constant doing of everyday life… fades. You take a breath. And for the first time in a while, you simply be.

Over the next 2.5 days, you’ll step into a deeply immersive experience of personal and spiritual growth alongside heart-centered women who are devoted to living fully and authentically.

This is a space where women don’t try to fix one another—but instead hold each other in truth, presence, and possibility. Where vulnerability becomes the doorway to deeper connection—with yourself, and with others.

And as you do this work, you’ll also be nourished—mentally, emotionally, and physically.

If you can feel yourself here… you belong at the 9th Annual Women’s Purpose Retreat.

Each day begins with the option to ground into your body through yoga or light movement, followed by a nourishing organic breakfast made with clean, locally sourced ingredients.

From there, you’ll gather with what will quickly become your soul-aligned community—women walking their own courageous path of self-discovery. Through intentional conversations, powerful teachings, and experiential workshops, you’ll move through the kind of inner work that creates real, lasting shifts.

Set within a private 230-acre retreat space—with hiking trails, a pool, and areas to rest and restore—you’ll have space to unplug, exhale, and reconnect with yourself in a deeper way.

 

Here's more of what you'll experience:

​​

  • INSPIRATION: Powerful teachers, intimate conversations, and experiential workshops designed to expand how you see yourself and what’s possible for your life.

  • TRANSFORMATION: Deep inner work that creates meaningful breakthroughs—supporting you in stepping into your next level of growth, alignment, and potential.

  • COMMUNITY: Authentic, lasting relationships with women who meet you in truth—where connection goes far beyond surface-level.

  • INNER WORK: A deeper understanding of your internal world, with tools to move beyond limiting patterns, self-doubt, and the voice of the inner critic.

  • RESTORATION: Time and space to replenish your energy through yoga, meditation, nature, and intentional rest.

  • ONE-ON-ONE COACHING: A complimentary 1:1 coaching session to help you integrate your experience and support what’s unfolding for you.

What to expect

2026 Retreat Theme:
Rooted in Love

There are moments in time where the world seems to pull us into fear, separation, and uncertainty.​ Where we can spiral and lose ourselves in it, or choose something deeper.

This is one of those moments.

An invitation to root—not in what is happening around you—but in what is true within you.

To anchor into love not just as something you give or receive… but as an unchanging, internal state you live from. No matter what is happening around you.

Because when love becomes your ground, you no longer move through life in reaction to fear. You begin creating your reality from within it.

If you’ve been with us before, this year will meet you at a new edge—where this work becomes not just something you understand, but something you actively create from. We’ll explore this work in a more intentional and expansive way than ever before.

Day 1 will focus on where you are living from today—
Not just what’s happening in your life, but the source you’re creating it from.​ 

You’ll begin to see more clearly the difference between allowing external circumstances to influence how you feel and what you create…
versus creating from an
internal foundation of grounded trust, openness, and enoughness.

Day 2 is where this becomes deeply personal—and powerfully practical. You’ll choose the areas of your life that are ready to be recreated—whether that’s how you relate, how you lead, how you parent, or what you’re here to create—and begin to reimagine it from a different foundation.

Not by trying harder or fixing what’s “not working,” but by stepping into a new internal template—one that allows you to move forward with greater clarity, alignment, and self-trust.​ Because this isn’t just about insight. It’s about becoming the woman who creates her life from a different place.

One where the truth in your heart holds more weight than the fear in your mind. One where your external world begins to reflect the shift that’s happened within you.

Because when you truly root into love, you don’t just experience life differently—you begin to lead, relate, and make decisions from a place that isn’t driven by fear, pressure, or proving.

What once felt uncertain becomes clearer.
What once felt heavy begins to open.
And what you create starts to reflect that shift.

What to Expect at the Retreat

An incredible two-day experience designed to elevate women through a transformative personal development experience.

Prepare to Be Transformed.

The Women’s Purpose Retreat brings together women from across the country—many in high-impact roles—who share a deep commitment to their own growth.

Women who are no longer satisfied with surface-level conversations… and are ready for the courageous work of true self-discovery.

In a rare and intimate, peer-to-peer setting, you’ll step into a space where vulnerability is not only welcomed—it’s practiced. Where women come together not to fix one another, but to hold space, reflect truth, and support each other’s expansion.

You’ll be guided by inspirational speakers and expert coaches who support you not just in what you do—but in how you live, lead, and relate.

And through this shared experience, connections form that extend far beyond the retreat—becoming relationships that continue to support your growth long after you leave.

Each year evolves, but the heart of the work remains the same: deep, personal transformation. 

 

Past explorations have included soul purpose, wellbeing, mindfulness, self-trust, surrender, embodied power, and spiritual growth—experienced not just as ideas, but as a way of living.

Testimonials

“The Women's Purpose Retreat is a life-changing experience. I have been every single year; will continue to attend; and be a member of the WPC! Because as someone who has attended hundreds of events and conferences throughout my career and prides herself on being a high performance, wholehearted leader. I don't say this lightly, but WPR is truly a rare and unique opportunity where senior leaders can come together in an intimate setting to do deeply vulnerable personal growth work. The relationships I've built as part of this community have been transformative to both my personal and professional life.”

- Laura Maness, Global CEO, Grey Advertising

"I didn't know what to expect when first attending the Women's Purpose Retreat back in 2018. It was beyond anything I could have hoped for! Jessica's natural healing presence creates an environment where women are able to commune and share at levels I haven't experienced before. I have been every year since! And I am so grateful for the positive shifts this retreat and the Women's Purpose Community has created in both my professional and personal life.” 


- Wendy DaDalt, Co-Founder and EVP Sales, RationAle

"I have attended every event since 2019 and it continues to be one of the most important things I do all year. Which is why our brand invests in this transformative event for female leaders. Growing women is important to us and no conference gets to the 'heart of the issues' blocking so many women from actualizing their true potential. Yes, it's a bit untraditional and unique in its approach. But then again, so are we! Our values are aligned."

- Sophie Merven, Head of Communications, Inspire Brands

"When I was invited to the very first retreat in 2018, I was sitting at point zero of my journey. Blindly joining with a silent question: What is purpose? There are many reasons I have continued to come back time and time again, now as a Women's Purpose Community member as well. First, the exposure to amazing women has enabled me to walk alongside strong leaders in a similar place as me. Next, the guidance from Jessica is full of inspiration and always includes the truths you need to hear. Her practical advice and self-study tools have been life changing.The content, speakers and take-aways always leave me feeling energized and excited about dedicating myself to creating change in my life."
 

- Meredith Latham, Director, World 50

"I first attended the Women's Purpose Retreat in 2019. It was unlike anything I've ever been a part of; and continues to be! WPR and the community it's birthed has helped me become truly empowered and connected to my authentic self. Jessica has a gift of giving women permission to stop hiding who they are and honor what they want. If you are looking to transform in ways beyond what you can imagine – then this is a must-attend event for you."
 

- Kari Prevost, CEO, The Flower Fields

"Jessica curates a superb community of women in a beautiful venue and setting. With a unique ability to positively challenge one another through life-changing dialogue! I’ve never experienced anything quite like it and feel honored I have been able to be a part of this Retreat two times now."
 

- Ruth Cochran, Principal, Korn Ferry

"I have had the honor of attending the Women's Purpose Retreat since its inception. It has been and continues to be one of the most profound experiences of my life. The friendships I've made have changed me and supported my non-profit in ways I couldn't fathom. The work I am able to do on myself and support others in their journeys is at the heart of all I believe in. I'm grateful for what this community of women has meant to my life."
 

- Ashley Jones, Founder of Love Not Lost & Tedx Speaker
