THE DETAILS
WHO
Lead Your Life Retreats are open to women service members, veterans, retirees, and military spouses.
WHAT
I’m hosting an intimate group of women at the beautiful Dancing Spirit Ranch in Kalispell, Montana. Our days will be a blend of adventure, rest, free time, mindfulness and yoga practices, delicious meals, and more.
WHEN
August 12-17, 2025
WHERE
Glacier National Park, also know as the Crown of the Continent, is showcase of melting glaciers, alpine meadows, carved valleys, and spectacular lakes. With over 700 miles of trails, Glacier is a paradise for adventurous visitors seeking wilderness steeped in human history.
We will also adventure and enjoy the surrounding communities of Kalispell and Whitefish - vibrant mountain towns that welcome you to breathe deeply and live with intention, all while soaking up our storybook-like community and jaw-dropping views.
Meet Your Host
I'm Christina!
When I went on my first women’s retreat in 2021, I couldn’t believe it was the first time in my adult life I had a long weekend that was entirely for me to ENJOY.
I rested, I did yoga, I journaled. I did whatever my heart desired. I laughed, cried, and healed.
When I got home, I was a new wife and mother for my family, and I learned that pouring back into myself regularly is one of the greatest gifts I can give them.
I knew in my heart that I was called to create an experience like this for women in the military community.
Combining my powers of teaching yoga and mindfulness, my love for logistics and organization (total Gold over here!), and a passion for women in the military community, Lead Your Life Retreats were born in 2022!
My mission is to create a retreat experience that enables you to rest, recharge your batteries, feel completely cared for and spoiled, and connect with yourself in a way you never have before.
Will you join me?
