When was the last time you intentionally took time to nurture 'the nurturer'?

You are the heart of your family, constantly giving your time, energy, and love to ensure your children and home thrive. But to pour into others, you must first replenish yourself. Attending this retreat is not just a chance for self-care; it's an investment in becoming the best version of yourself—for you and your family.

Your growth and nourishment is not a luxury, it is a necessity on the path of Intentional Motherhood.

We have designed this Retreat to help you not just learn from sisters who have been on the path of home education, but also help you rest, recover, and re-align towards your goals in motherhood and family life. 

 This path can seem arduous at times, and we all benefit from gathering in nurturing spaces to learn, share, and find a community of like-minded sisters committed to raising and educating children with excellence.

Whether just starting out or in the trenches, you will benefit from an intentional break that helps you sustain this journey. 

This retreat will help you clarify your intentions, reaffirm your faith, and refill your cup so you can pour it back into your family.

I hope you will join us at this beautiful venue and partake in knowledge and wisdom from like-minded sisters, nourish yourself through activities designed just for you - an 'art & reflection' session with an artist, a nature walk along a stunning lake, and a stress-relieving activity with a practitioner in the beautiful outdoors.

Myra Kaiser

Myra Kaiser is a homeschooling mother of 4.  Homeschooling her children sparked her own love of learning so you can always find her taking her own classes alongside teaching her children.  She loves pushing herself to learn and try things she used to tell herself that she wouldn’t be good at (unless it involves heights!).  She pursued her masters in marriage and family therapy, and uses the knowledge she gained at home instead of the workplace, in order to walk alongside her children while they are young.  She’s an idea girl-she loves coming up with an exciting idea, getting it off the ground and then handing it off to someone passionate, as she moves on to the next big idea.
