Tentative Itinerary

Activities are subject to change based on availability and weather.

Morning

Gather together at our meeting spot in the South Lake Tahoe/Stateline area (TBD) where we will begin our day with a 1 hour sound bath meditation on the beach! With the lake as our backdrop, this will be an unforgettable experience for moms and daughters alike! After our sound bath, we will share morning refreshments and create fellowship through conscious connection with all of the mother/daughter couples, and prepare to embark on the next part of our retreat... the adventure! 

Mid-Day

 

Let's adventure! We will travel up to the Heavenly area where we will take the scenic gondola ride up to the top of the Heavenly ski resort. During the summer months, the mountain coaster, zip lines, and other fun activities are available for us to experience! After completing our first activity as a group, we will meet at the lodge and share our picnic lunch before more adventures! (official summer activities for 2025 are still to be released). If time allows, we will embark on a hike at the top of the area before descending on the gondola back to the base of the mountain at 4pm. 

Evening

After our adventure on the mountain, we will celebrate and conclude our retreat day by enjoying a pizza party at the resort where we will be staying overnight. For those who choose to stay in the shared hotel, enjoy the evening with a swim in the pool, soak in the hot tub, and s'mores by the fire-pit with fun and fellowship for the mamas and the daughters! 

Option to stay overnight before and after the retreat for less stress and more fellowship!

Instead of rushing up to Lake Tahoe bright and early, and then having to drive home after a fun filled day, relax by staying overnight before and after the retreat! Abby has arranged for up to 7 mother/daughter couples to stay in two shared 2 bedroom suites in a hotel near the Heavenly ski area. Arrive the evening before and join Abby and her daughter for dinner either at a restaurant, or take-out to the hotel suites. You will need to share a bed with your daughter if you choose to stay in the shared accommodations. Up to 4 mother/daughter couples per 2 bedroom suite.  Breakfast is included with the hotel option, and the hotel is walking distance to most of our activities! Note there is a $20/day parking fee per vehicle (max 4 vehicles) so carpooling is encouraged! There are plenty of (paid) parking garages and lots located next to the hotel. Spend the evening before the retreat meeting some of your retreat mates, swimming in the pool, relaxing in the hot tub, roasting marshmallows by the fire pit, and enjoying the fresh mountain air!  Enjoy the morning after the retreat with a hike (walking distance from the hotel) before checkout.

The cost for the accommodations is $525 per mother/daughter couple for both nights. (note, because summertime in Lake Tahoe is very popular, there is a 2 night minimum for the hotel reservation).  Prefer your own room? Abby will share the hotel information with you so that you can book your own accommodations.

Empowered Escape Testimonials

"Abby's Well Weekends are a breath of fresh air, much needed "me" time and a wonderful time to connect with new friends. I can't express how much these well weekends feed my mind, body and soul."

Mandy Curry
Lake Tahoe, Destin FL, Moab UT & Yosemite Well Weekends

"Yosemite was amazing! Breathtaking views as we hiked the beautiful waterfalls, and the evening belly laughs at the pizza party. However, Lake Tahoe has my heart. My souls feels at peace near the water. Its beauty from seeing it from the plane in the sky to viewing on ground though... just wow! My favorite was yoga by the water one morning, the calmness, the sun shining on us, and being in tune with me. Ahhh!! Such great memories!"

Jenia Vest
Yosemite & Lake Tahoe Well-Weekends

"Abby’s Hot Springs retreat was an incredible, once in a lifetime experience. Abby is a wealth of knowledge and has such a giving heart. She truly wants everyone to be their healthiest self, mentally, physically and emotionally. Taking time to recharge and rediscover yourself is something everyone needs to do now and then. Having a few days of self reflection and growth was exactly what my soul needed. I can’t wait for the next one!"

Lindsay Nunn
Calistoga Hot Springs Retreat

"I came to the 2018 Well Weekend (Napa Valley) not quite sure what to expect. What I found was a group of welcoming, kind women from all over the country looking to make themselves a priority and to build relationships with each other. The food was great, the location was great and the company was the best part!"

Tami Hackbarth
Napa Valley Well Weekend

"I have been on 7 Well Weekends and they all offered something unique. A Wellness Weekend is a place you can speak and not be judged. Vacations are great, retreating with positive, strong women...life changing!"
