Love Thyself

Women’s Retreat

APRIL 10-12, 2026 . CEDAR CROSS RETREAT CENTER . LOUISBURG, NC

A restorative, heart-centered retreat for women who are ready to slow down, reconnect, and deepen their love for themselves.

Step away from your everyday life and step into a sacred weekend devoted entirely to you. The Love Thyself Women’s Retreat is an intimate gathering designed to nurture your mind, body, and spirit while helping you cultivate deeper compassion, respect, and appreciation for yourself.

Held in the peaceful natural setting of Cedar Cross Retreat Center—just outside Raleigh, NC—this retreat offers a gentle yet transformative experience where you can rest, reflect, and reconnect with your inner wisdom.

WHAT THIS RETREAT OFFERS:

Throughout the weekend, you will be guided through a thoughtfully crafted program that blends stillness, creativity, and connection, including:

  • Guided meditations to quiet the mind and open the heart
  • Time in nature to ground and replenish your energy
  • Creative arts & crafts to explore and express your self-love journey
  • Circle time for learning, sharing, and meaningful discussion
  • Fire Ceremonies for release and renewal
  • A sacred labyrinth walk for reflection, clarity, and insight
  • Community and sisterhood where you are seen, supported, and honored

This weekend is not about “fixing” yourself—it is about remembering your inherent worth and learning to relate to yourself with greater kindness and care in the loving arms of Mother Nature and kindred spirits.

A CELEBRATION OF YOU

We conclude on Sunday with a heartfelt celebration of each woman’s unique gifts, strengths, and beauty. Through meaningful reflection and recognition, you will leave feeling deeply appreciated—not only by others, but by yourself.

This closing ceremony is a powerful reminder of your magnificence and the love that already lives within you.

THE POWER OF SISTERHOOD

One of the most beautiful aspects of this retreat is the deep connection that naturally unfolds among the women. You will be held in a circle of kindness, compassion, and genuine support.

Together, you will create a safe, uplifting, and high-vibrational space where every woman’s voice, story, and presence is honored.
