A Revitalizing Women’s Retreat on the Oregon Coast

August 28-30, 2026 | Manzanita, Oregon

What if a weekend away could inspire a new beginning?

You may be carrying a lot: multiple roles and responsibilities, constant "doing" without "being."  

Maybe you’ve been navigating a transition — a new chapter, an empty nest, the whisper of “what’s next?”
Or maybe you just feel the nudge… it’s time to pause and reconnect.

Welcome to Gifts of the Sea, a transformational weekend retreat created for women who are ready to step out of the noise of daily life and into something deeper.

We designed this intimate retreat to help you to realign with your true self and get clear on your vision for what's next — all by the soothing rhythm of the ocean.

Why This Retreat?

This is not a spa weekend.
It’s an intentional pause — a chance to reflect, recalibrate, and return to what really matters.

The setting is a beach home in Manzanita, Oregon; the retreat will be gently guided by ICF certified coaches Ailsa Kellam and Kimberly Petersen who are there to walk beside you and support your growth.

Through grounding nature walks, heartfelt group connection, creative exploration, and powerful coaching conversations, you’ll begin to:

  • Move toward clarity

  • Release what no longer serves you 

  • Find your voice, your vision, and your vitality

This is your chance to breathe. To recognize your strength. To remember your worth.

What You’ll Experience

  • Grounding Nature Walks — beach and forest explorations to clear your mind and awaken your senses

  • Group Circles & Coaching — heartfelt, guided conversations in a safe, supportive space

  • Somatic Practices — learn simple, powerful ways to calm your body and reconnect with yourself

  • Vision Boarding — create a bold visual map for what’s next in your life

  • Shared Meals & Happy Hour — joyful connection around the table and in town

  • Free Time to Breathe — journal, explore town, take a nap, or just breathe in the magic of the sea

What You’ll Come Home With

  • Greater clarity on what truly matters to you, now and for your next chapter

  • Renewed sense of purpose and a creative vision that lights you up

  • Connections with women

  • Tools to sustain the shift in your everyday life

The Setting

You’ll be staying in a private beach house in Manzanita, Oregon, a charming coastal town known for its natural beauty and calming pace. 

We’ll share meals, experiences, and space — fostering an atmosphere of intimacy, trust, and support. It’s cozy, it’s warm, it’s real.
