We are booked! ✨

​The universe has spoken, the stars have aligned, and our beautiful space is officially BOOKED! 🏕️🎨🌿

​We are so incredibly thrilled to invite you to our very first Women’s Creative Camping Retreat on Saturday, August 22nd. This is your invitation to unplug from the noise, step into the woods, and let your creative spirit run wild and free with your fellow soulful sisters.
​To keep our sacred circle safe, intimate, and eco-friendly, we have a few special updates for our journey together:

​🚜 Our Magical Sanctuary. Suffolk 23434.

Check in is NOON Saturday.

​We are gathering at an incredible regenerative farm (complete with running water and toilets for our comfort!). Because we are honoring the earth and the land's guidelines, there are a few important details to know:

​Car Camping & Carpooling: The farm allows a maximum of 5 cars total, so we will can share rides! There is a $20 fee per car required by the venue. Once you RSVP, we will coordinate a carpool chain to get everyone there smoothly. 🚙🌱

​Furry Friends: A maximum of 2 dogs are welcome at the site, but they must be kept on a leash at all times to respect the farm's wildlife and resident animals. 🐾

​Choose Your Own Adventure: The farm offers amazing add-on options like yoga sessions, guided tours, livestock meetings and more that you can choose to join during our stay by speaking directly to the host. Add ons must be paid directly to the host.

​🌸 What to Bring to the Circle:
​Your Passions: Bring your current crafts, sketchbooks, knitting, journals, or that book you’ve been dying to lose yourself in.

​Your Nourishment: Pack your favorite snacks, meals, and elixirs—enough to fuel your own fire, or some extra to share around the blanket if you feel the urge!

​Your Beautiful Self: Most importantly, bring your open heart, your bright smiles, and your friendly energy.

​🔮 The Secret Details...
To keep our group close-knit, the exact location, timing, and packing tips will be sent out privately via DM!

​💸 While I am completely happy to cover the costs for our main camp space and the firewood to keep us cozy all night, any sweet donations toward the site fee are incredibly appreciated and accepted with so much gratitude! 🙏✨

​🚨 YOU MUST RSVP BY AUGUST 8th TO ATTEND! 🚨

Because spaces are strictly limited (5) by our car and headcount capacity, we need to finalize our list early.
​Drop a "✨" in the comments if your soul is screaming YES!, and we’ll slide into your DMs with the details and carpool info soon. Let’s make some magic, sisters. See you on the farm! 🌲🌙🦋🌈

🌞 Our First Gathering 🌞

​When: Saturday, August 1st at 10:00 AM
​Where: Mount Trashmore Park (Look for the shaded trees and covered seating where we’ll be spreading out blankets!)
​Energy Exchange: Completely free. Just bring your beautiful self, an open heart, and maybe a blanket to sit on.
​What we’ll be doing:
​✨ Connecting: Meeting face-to-face, sharing smiles, and introducing our spirits to one another.
​🎨 Sharing our Crafts: Bring a piece of your art, your jewelry, your magic, or just a story about what you love to create. Let’s inspire each other!
​🏕️ Co-Creating our First Retreat: We are planning our inaugural digital detox and camping trip for sometime later in August!

I’m currently scouting group campsites within a one hour to one hour and a half drive of Virginia Beach—places that give us the comfort of basic amenities but the deep privacy we need to truly disconnect, heal, and howl at the moon together.
​Bring your calendars, your ideas, and your beautiful, creative energy. Let’s build this community from the roots up. 🌾👁️

​Drop a comment below if you can make it, so we can keep an eye out for you! Can’t wait to hold space with you all.

A massive, heartfelt welcome to every single incredible woman who expressed interest in our Digital Detox Camping & Creative Retreat!
​When this idea started brewing, the hope was to find a few like-minded souls looking to unplug. Seeing so many of you raise your hands, craving that same connection to nature, creativity, and community, has been absolutely beautiful. We are officially a collective of wild hearts and creative souls!
​🌲 What This Space Is For
​This group is our gathering place to plan, dream, and connect before we ever pitch a tent. We are trading screens for starlight, and notifications for the gentle rhythm of slow, intentional crafting. Whether your passion is fiber arts, woodwork, sketching, or just learning something new, there is a place for your hands and your heart here.

​✨ What’s Next?

I will be posting here and reaching out to each of you to arrange an initial meeting of the group on a weekend this month.

At this time I am leaning towards either state landing park on 67th st where we can bring blankets and small projects to work independently while we chat OR Mount Trashmore in Town Center VB. I propose Saturday Aug 1 at 10am as a meeting time.
