Alone Together Retreat

A Quiet Retreat for Women

F A L L 2 0 2 5 : C O A S T A L N C

A slow, simple, quiet retreat
in the company of women

who want the same.

  • Quiet Company

    This isn’t a group trip or a social weekend full of plans. It’s something softer. You’ll have a room of your own and the rhythm of your choice, with just enough shared time at meals and evening walks to feel grounded, safe, and never alone.

  • Open Time for Rest

    The days are yours. Disconnect. Write in your journal with a cup of tea, nap in the afternoon sun, walk along the shore at sunrise, paint a sandpiper, or read a book cover-to-cover in a cozy chair. No pressure, no small talk, just space to be still and breathe while others do the same.

  • A Peaceful Space

    We’ll stay in a thoughtfully chosen home in coastal NC — a place with plenty of room to rest and the beach a short walk away. Evenings will be quiet, and meals together are simple and optional. You’ll return home rested, reset, and maybe a little more yourself.

We’ll gather in Duck, NC (northern Outer Banks) in early Fall, when the off-season beaches will be wide open and calm, and the heat will be softening into cool evenings.

Duck is known for its peaceful boardwalk, indie bookshops, art galleries, and long walking paths. You’ll receive a personalized guide to quiet-friendly spots to visit nearby, from nature trails to tucked-away libraries and local art spaces. And of course, the ocean will be a short walk away.
