Slumber Party Retreat 2027
Maybe you're the one who takes care of everything—the laundry, the cleaning, the kids, the schedules, the events—and somehow, still step into your career like the badass woman you are. There are a lot of demands on you, and somewhere along the way, you've gotten used to being the person who holds it all together.
Maybe you simply miss the parts of yourself that used to laugh until your stomach hurt, get silly, make new friends, stay up too late, and play simply for the sake of playing.
We think it's time you got a little of that back.
For the over-functioning woman who needs to slow down, quit taking care of everyone, and find herself again.
The Invitation
Throughout the weekend, we'll invite you into playful experiences that bring back a little of that childhood magic, conversations that nourish your soul, and guided reflections that help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that may have gotten lost somewhere between there and here.
We'll explore what it means to make room for yourself again—not by adding more to your plate, but by getting curious about who you are beneath all the roles, responsibilities, and expectations you've been carrying.
And because we believe rest should actually feel like rest, we've intentionally created space for you to choose what you need. Join the conversation, curl up with a book, enjoy the hot tub, make a new friend, or spend an afternoon doing absolutely nothing.
There is no pressure to have a breakthrough, become a better version of yourself, or leave with a list of things you need to change.
You get to simply be yourself.
We'll take care of the meals, the details, and the planning. You just have to show up.
Because for once, you don't have to be the one taking care of everything. You get to be taken care of, too.
You're tired of being the one who holds everything together and would love to have someone take care of you for a change.
You're craving meaningful friendships and genuine connection with other women.
You miss the playful, spontaneous, and maybe even slightly mischievous parts of yourself.
You're in a season of rediscovering who you are, what you want, and what makes you feel alive.
You love a good conversation that goes a little deeper than small talk, but also appreciate laughing until you cry.
You want permission to rest without feeling like you need to earn it.
You're ready to step outside your everyday routine and experience something that's entirely for you.
You don't have to arrive with a goal, a problem to solve, or a plan for personal transformation.
You don't need to know anyone before you come, and you certainly don't need to be the life of the party.
Come with your best friend. Come by yourself. Come exactly as you are.
There's room for the woman who wants to stay up late talking and the woman who wants to sneak away with a book.
You belong here without having to do anything to earn your place.
This Retreat Is For You If…
What to Expect in Lake Chelan
Picture this: You arrive in beautiful Lake Chelan, put down your bags, someone hands you a cocktail, and realize that for the next two nights, you don't have to plan a meal, manage anyone's schedule, or figure out what everyone else needs.
We've taken care of that.
This year, we're bringing the Slumber Party Retreat to two beautiful homes in Lake Chelan, Washington, where we'll spend three days and two nights enjoying the best parts of a good old-fashioned sleepover—with a few grown-up luxuries.
Here's a little of what you can look forward to:
A Place to Settle In
Think cozy accommodations, beautiful lake scenery, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the hot tub or find a quiet corner to yourself. Whether you're sharing stories late into the evening or heading to bed early, there's room to make the weekend your own.
And because we know how important a good night's sleep is, every guest will have her own bed, with private and limited shared-room accommodations available.
Delicious Food You Don't Have to Think About
One of our favorite parts of the retreat is having a private chef prepare delicious, nourishing meals throughout the weekend.
No grocery shopping. No meal planning. No dishes waiting for you afterward.
Just good food, good company, and the pleasure of sitting down to a meal you didn't have to make.
A Little Rest, a Little Reflection, and a Lot of Play
We'll weave together meaningful conversations, guided reflection, nostalgic games, and opportunities to reconnect with yourself and the women around you.
We'll explore the stories we've carried, the ways we've learned to put ourselves last, and what it might look like to take up more space in our own lives.
And we'll make plenty of room for silliness, laughter, and the simple joy of doing something just because it's fun.
Experiences That Help You Slow Down
Throughout the weekend, we'll offer intentional experiences designed to help you settle into your body and enjoy the present moment, including a restorative sound bath, opportunities for meditation, and time to enjoy the beauty of Lake Chelan.
There will also be opportunities to explore the area, with an optional wine-tasting excursion for anyone who wants a little adventure.
Plenty of Room to Do Absolutely Nothing
We love a good activity, but we also know that an over-scheduled retreat isn't much of a retreat.
That's why we've intentionally built downtime into the weekend.
Want to soak in the hot tub? Do it. Curl up with a book? Please do. Take a nap, go for a walk, linger over coffee, or spend the afternoon getting to know someone new.
It's your weekend, too.
We'll provide the experiences, the hospitality, and the space. You get to decide what you need.
Come for the Weekend. Leave with Something More.
We hope you'll leave feeling rested, cared for, and a little more connected to yourself.
Maybe you'll make a new friend. Maybe you'll remember something about yourself that you haven't thought about in years. Maybe you'll simply experience the joy of having a few days where nothing is required of you.
Whatever your experience looks like, our hope is that you'll return home with a little more room for yourself in your own life.
And maybe a few new girlfriends you'll want to have another sleepover with.

Make the Weekend Your Own
A little adventure? A little indulgence? A whole lot of doing whatever feels good to you.
The Slumber Party Retreat is about giving yourself permission to slow down, have fun, and reconnect with what you want. Throughout the weekend, we'll offer a few optional experiences for anyone who wants to add a little something extra to their stay.
Whether you're sipping wine with new friends, treating yourself to some well-deserved pampering, or choosing to stay back and enjoy the hot tub, there's no right way to spend your time here.
These experiences are completely optional and are not included in your retreat registration. Additional costs will be shared in advance, and you'll have the opportunity to sign up for whatever interests you.
-
Good wine, beautiful scenery, and nowhere else you need to be.
We'll venture out to experience some of Lake Chelan's local wineries, enjoy a tasting, and spend time connecting over a glass of something delicious. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or just along for the company, this is an opportunity to get out, explore, and enjoy the afternoon.
Additional cost: Wine tasting fees, personal purchases, and any applicable transportation fees will be provided by the participant.
-
Because sometimes taking care of yourself looks like doing absolutely nothing. And sometimes it looks like a spa treatment, a sauna session, or an afternoon dedicated entirely to relaxation.
We're exploring a few ways to bring a little extra luxury into the weekend, including a local spa experience or a mobile sauna right at our retreat home.
Details, pricing, and availability will be shared once arrangements are confirmed.
Additional cost: Based on the experience selected.
-
We're dreaming up one more optional experience to round out the weekend. Something playful, restorative, or maybe a little unexpected.
We'll share more once we've finalized the details!
Meet The Team!
Jacqui Nelson
Jacqui Nelson, MA, LMHC is a relational therapist to her core. She works from the premise that we are harmed in relationship and we heal in relationship. From that space she invites people to dive deeper into their stories, to make sense of what has shaped them, to connect more deeply with self and others, and to find healing from trauma that so often occurs when we’re harmed by others.
Jacqui not only works with people in one-on-one therapy, but also in group settings. She believes the power of connection comes in the collective gathering of others where we can learn to show up authentically, honestly, and in our own particularity.
She’s a wine lover, a powerlifter, pizza eater, loves traveling, and a dog mom.
Favorite Rom-Com: P.S. I Love You
Favorite Pizza: Pepperoni & Pineapple
Melissa Roloff
Melissa Roloff, LMHC, LCPC, Reiki Practitioner, is a holistic therapist and energy worker devoted to creating spaces where people can soften, reconnect, and remember themselves outside of productivity and performance.
Her work blends clinical mental health care with intuitive, somatic, and ritual based practices. Drawing from psychotherapy, Reiki, mindfulness, storytelling, and nervous system regulation, Melissa creates experiences that feel both deeply supportive and refreshingly human.
Melissa is especially passionate about offering spaces that invite a return to play, rest, and relational connection. These are the parts of ourselves that often get lost under responsibility, caretaking, and survival. Her work is intentionally gentle and welcoming, meeting people exactly as they are without pressure to fix or transform anything.
She holds space with warmth, humor, and grounded presence. Melissa believes healing happens not only through insight, but through shared stories, stillness, connection, and being witnessed in community.
Chef Oscar Nelson
Chef Oscar Nelson grew up in North Spokane in Mead, WA. As a true artist, he was often found working with wood, metal, or food. He was encouraged by an art teacher to attend college to pursue art which propelled him to attend Eastern Washington University and complete a Bachelors in Fine Arts.
This led Oscar to becoming a graphic designer and project manager. While he enjoys the work he does, his real passion is creating exceptional food. You can find him in the kitchen working on a new recipe or trying one out by a chef he feels inspired by.
This last year he opened his first food truck, Just the Wurst Food Truck, which serves craft-made bratwursts. He creates every spice blend, makes the sausage, and comes up with unique toppings for each one. His greatest desire is to create an unforgettable experience with his cuisine.
FAQs
Q: Does the fee cover all meals and activities?
A: Yes! When you purchase your rooming option this includes all meals for the weekend, all activities, and swag. Who doesn’t like swag?!
There will be a couple of optional excursions that you can participate in at your own expense.
Q: Will there be any down time to go be alone if I need it?
A: Yes absolutely. All activities are optional. Rest and play are the primary goals for this retreat so if you need to skulk off and take a nap — we invite you to do so.
If there’s an activity you don’t want to participate in — don’t. You’re welcome to go do whatever is comfortable for you. Giving yourself permission to do what you want to do is exactly what we want for you.
Q: What kinds of activities will we be doing?
A: We have some fun things planned for you. This weekend will be a blend of guided reflection to get you thinking more holistically about your life, reiki, a sound bath, and some optional excursions.
Beyond that, we’ll build in intentional rest times where you can play games, sit and talk to a new friend, go sit on the dock and enjoy the lake view, or cozy up with a book somewhere.
Q: What do I do if I need to leave the retreat early?
A: If something comes up and you find yourself needing to take off, please seek out Jacqui or Melissa to let us know what’s going on. We want to support what you need. We just ask for a head’s up so we know that you’re safe.
Q: Is there a payment plan?
A: We recognize that sharing a room with women you may have never met can feel uncomfortable. We’ve thought about how we can make this room feel more inviting: noise machines, sleeping eye masks, ear plugs. We’ll do what we can to make this feel as comfortable as possible for all different kinds of sleepers. If you have any suggestions please let us know!
Q: Is smoking or vaping allowed on the premises?
A: Smoking and vaping are not allowed on the grounds. If you smoke and need to leave the property to go take care of yourself, feel free to do so.
