About this trip

Goddess: a woman who is on a journey to understand, embrace, and love herself completely—mind, body, and spirit.


In today's society, the pressures of navigating a predominantly masculine world can stifle our inner goddess. Take the weekend to reconnect with your feminine essence. This women's weekend retreat offers a chance to be among like-minded women, embraced by nature at the Aldermarsh retreat center on Whidbey Island. By delving into movement, crafting, self-care, and more, we'll awaken the inner goddess!


 

Your Home for the weekend:

Aldermarsh retreat center is situated on the edge of a beautiful marshland in the Maxwelton Valley at the south end of Whidbey Island just a short ferry ride from Mukilteo. The wooded 5 acre facility is a human-created space integrated within its natural setting where community, collaboration and sustainability thrive. 

Our mission is to create and hold sacred space for residential retreats and programs that are focused on raising individual and collective consciousness, exploring creative and equitable ways of being in community, and learning to live in balance with the natural world.  We provide a refuge for community: a place where one can be still and listen to the wisdom of the Earth and reconnect with soul’s calling.

We had an awesome time! Janette and Hailey were amazing guides and planned an amazing experience. The Namastay compound was incredibly nice and relaxing, including wild deer that liked to relax on the compound with us. The Canyoneering team was friendly and experienced. The Narrows hike was incredible and a definite do again experience. Shelly, the personal chef, was AMAZING!!! So delicious!

We had a great time and I met some great people. Lynn and Brittany did an excellent job of both teaching yoga and dealing with any issues that came up.

10/10 recommend!!! My mom and I had the best vacation we have ever been on! Relaxing, beautiful, and not over done so we had some down days! If you’re on the fence, please take the leap! You won’t regret it! Lynn and Kami were wonderful planners, instructors, and guides. We are looking forward to our next trip with them!
