2027 Women's Winter Wellness Retreat – Villa Point, Garden of the Gods, Colorado

This women's winter wellness retreat is a weekend of facial wellness, lymphatic care and nervous system support for women who want to slow down and look after themselves with more intention. It is led by Roberta Whitney Hughes, a yoga, Pilates and meditation teacher and the founder of PeaceFull Living, and it takes place at Villa Point near Garden of the Gods in Monument, Colorado, close to Colorado Springs. Women can come on their own, or bring a friend, sister, mother or daughter.

What to Expect

The weekend is organized around four ideas: move, flow, rest and belong. Each one has its own kind of practice.

Flow is the heart of the teaching. You explore facial wellness, lymphatic health and connective-tissue work, using tools such as the Facial Reflexology Magic Wand and the Lymphatic Brush. A particular focus is how tension in the chest, neck, shoulders, jaw and face affects the whole body, and how to work with it. The aim is not to hand you a complicated routine. It is to show you a few small, practical techniques that fit into everyday life, so you can return to them whenever you need a pause.

Rest comes through meditation, breathwork, nervous system support and unhurried quiet time. Move means gentle Pilates, yoga and restorative movement. Belong is the shared side of the retreat: meals together, conversation, laughter and the kind of unscheduled moments, such as a slow cup of coffee with nowhere to be, that often end up mattering most.
