Navigating the Empty Nest
Come enjoy a long weekend of Rest, Renewal & Rediscovery
September 19–21, 2025 • Grand View Lodge, Nisswa, MN
You’ve spent years pouring into others.
Now it’s time to pour into you.
If you're a professional, faith-driven woman navigating the empty nest season—wondering what's next now that your calendar is no longer filled with soccer games, college forms, and carpool lanes—this retreat was made for you.
You’re not lost. You’re being replanted.
And God still has a beautiful, purpose-filled plan for your life.
The
Story
How it started
“When my son left for college, I found myself in unfamiliar territory. I was proud—but I also felt disoriented. Who was I without the daily rhythm of motherhood?
As I sought God, He began to show me that this season wasn't an ending—it was an invitation to rediscover the woman He created me to be.
Rooted & Radiant was born out of that personal journey. My heart is to create a space where women like you can be still, be filled, and walk away reconnected to your purpose, your identity, and God.”
Welcome to Your Weekend of Rest, Renewal & Rediscovery
Rooted & Radiant is a sacred 3-day retreat designed to help you:
✨ Hear from God more clearly in this next season
✨ Rediscover your identity beyond motherhood
✨ Reconnect with your purpose and passions

Whether you feel stuck, excited, unsure, or simply ready for a weekend to breathe—this retreat is your invitation to realign with what truly matters.

Meet Your Retreat Dream Team
This retreat was prayerfully designed with you in mind—and so was this beautiful team of women who are here to serve, support, and surround you with love. Each of them brings their own unique gifts, whether through worship, hospitality, creativity, or encouragement. Together, we’re creating an atmosphere where you can rest, reconnect, and be reminded of who you truly are in Christ.
We can’t wait to pour into you!
What time does it start on Friday?
Check in time is at 3 pm. We will start with a healthy, nutritious welcome dinner at 5 pm and then have our first session of worship and reflection right after dinner.
Is there free time to get a massage at the spa, sit by the lake or go for a nature hike?
Absolutely! You're welcome to schedule a massage before checking in on Friday, or take advantage of the open self-care window from 2–5 PM on Saturday. This is your time to relax by the lake, enjoy quiet reflection, or receive prayer and encouragement from one of our team members.
This retreat was intentionally designed with extra space in the schedule so you can slow down, reflect deeply, and leave feeling refreshed—body, mind, and spirit. Call Glacial Waters Spa to book your appt. 218-963-8700
* Spa services are not included in the cost of the retreat.
What kinds of food will be served?
Throughout the retreat, you’ll be nourished with wholesome, delicious meals made with love—featuring a mix of fresh, seasonal ingredients and hearty, feel-good favorites. From vibrant salads and nourishing bowls to comforting dinners and sweet treats, every meal is crafted to support your well-being and energy.
If you have any dietary restrictions or food allergies, please let me know as soon as possible so we can accommodate your needs.
Water and teas will be available to drink.
And for all our coffee lovers—you're in for a treat! Our sweet friend Halle will be creating specialty coffees tailored to your unique tastes. Whether you prefer something bold and rich or light and creamy with a hint of flavor, she’s here to make your coffee moments extra special.
Come hungry—body and soul—we’ve got you covered!
Can I use this retreat as a business expense?
Possibly! If you are a business owner or entrepreneur and the retreat supports your professional development—such as providing clarity, rest, strategic visioning time, or tools that help you show up more effectively in your work—it may qualify as a deductible business expense. However, every situation is unique, so I always recommend checking with your tax professional or accountant to determine what’s appropriate based on your business and current tax laws.
Is there a payment plan?
Yes! To reserve your spot, a $500 non-refundable deposit is required at the time of registration. Then, an additional $400 is due 45 days prior to the retreat. The remaining balance is due 30 days before the event.
Please note: If the $400 installment is more than 7 days late, your spot will be forfeited and offered to the next person on the waiting list. Likewise, if the final full payment is not received at least 20 days prior to the retreat, your reservation will be released.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to helping you prepare for a beautiful and refreshing retreat experience!
Is there Wi-Fi or cell service?
Yes, but we encourage you to unplug as much as possible to fully
embrace the rest and renewal this retreat offers. We do ask you to place your phone on silent when you're in the lake cabin to allow others to have a silent space for reflection and connection with God.
Can I come alone?
Absolutely! Many women come on their own and leave with new friendships. This is a safe, welcoming space designed for connection, reflection, and personal growth—whether you come solo or with a friend. We look forward to meeting you and pouring love into you over the weekend.
