Our Story
We were once on the journey you might be on… newly retired, empty nester, shifting identity… what did we want to do with our second half of life? The seed for For the Soul Retreat was planted when artist Jill Steenhuis reached out to Sabet Stroman and asked if she might host a painting workshop for her. The idea soon grew from a painting workshop into a retreat that included experiences Sabet wanted to have at this stage of her life – experiences that stretched creativity, broadened perspective and took her slightly out of her comfort zone. Today the retreat continues to grow, building on new ideas from women who have attended past retreats and the wonderful team of women and partners that make the retreat possible each year.
EXPLORATION, CONNECTION, COMMUNITY
Why For the Soul Retreat?
Is it time to find new passions and possibilities in your second stage of life?
Would you like to explore or expand a creative side of yourself that you now have time to focus on?
Does reconnecting with nature, quieting your mind, and centering yourself sound like just the re-set you need?
Are you ready to step away from your busy life and take time to discover a renewed sense of self?
“It's been almost a year since we were together for the official launch of For The Soul Retreat, and I just wanted to reach out again and let you know what it meant to me. I know we all conveyed our gratitude, but seriously, that was the best time on so many levels. I wanted to thank you again… I’m remembering the lovely ways you fed our souls and expanded our circle of friends.”
