A Women’s Winter Retreat
January 30 – February 1, 2026
Rolling Ridge Study Retreat — near Harpers Ferry, WV
Let’s gather to tend our inner light in sacred space at Rolling Ridge. Dive into the wisdom of the darkness.
Our intention is to awaken and align with the light that shines at the center of each of our hearts,
rekindle hope, and dedicate time to cleansing of the mind and spirit through deep listening, gentle movement, journaling, reflective art, and a commitment to self-care and generosity of spirit.
We will offer gentle movement, reflective teachings and meditations, a candlelight dinner, and creative space for joyful connection with one another.
The retreat will be held in the Retreat House at Rolling Ridge Study Retreat, surrounded by a quiet woodland oasis, in a charming gathering place warmed by a wood stove. Weather depending, we can be sheltered within the house or move about the land. This cozy gathering space surrounded by wilderness offers accommodations and delicious, nourishing meals so you can simply come and be cared for.
Retreat guides, Alicia Garza and Jen Willett will be sharing their light as your teachers and holding space for collective nourishment and wellbeing. Alicia and Jen are deeply honored to share this retreat with you, stewarding the space for our collective wisdom to shine through. Alicia is experienced in guiding gentle movement and meditation. Jen will share her soul through reflective and creative journeys throughout the retreat.
Retreat chef, Bailey Ballinger will prepare nourishing meals with beauty and intention. She sources local and organic ingredients as available in the winter months and can be responsive to food sensitivities.
The retreat costs $340 for shared accommodations in the Retreat House. This fee covers lodging; 6 meals; Alicia & Jen’s planning and leadership, and support for the ongoing work at RRSRC. Anyone needing a scholarship to help cover the costs of the retreat is encouraged to fill out a scholarship form before registering. You can do that at this link.
