Option 1: Join the entire weekend
This March, we’re gathering in Austin, Texas for a relaxed, joy-filled, and intentional weekend designed to bring women together in the most natural way possible. Instead of flying across the world for a big international retreat, think of this as a micro Coherence experience.
Good food. Time outside. A little magic. New friends.
And getting a real feel for the Coherence energy without the pressure of a huge commitment.
Friday: Arrive.
Saturday: Explore.
Sunday: Retreat!
This is not a deep healing immersion. It’s a fun, low-pressure weekend to explore Austin, move your body, be on the water, and connect with incredible women.
You’ll arrive Friday evening and we’ll kick things off with a group dinner at a local Austin spot.
Saturday is all about experiencing Austin together. We’ll spend the morning on the water, soaking up the sunshine. In the afternoon, we’ll gather at a park with an epic skyline backdrop for a laid-back barbecue picnic, and space to hang, relax, and connect. There will also be another optional group dinner that evening for anyone who wants to keep the night going. We’ll also leave time to wander Congress Avenue, explore shops, grab a bite, and take in the city at your own pace.
On Sunday, we shift into something more intentional as you join us for a full-day retreat, we're hosting at a wellness ranch during South by Southwest weekend. This retreat day is included in your ticket and features a full itinerary with workshops, movement, yoga, sound healing, sauna, cold plunge, jacuzzi, a special SXSW wellness panel, and so much more!
Accommodations are on you, giving you full flexibility, and meals aren’t included, aside from our picnic BBQ so you can enjoy Austin however you want.
If you’ve been curious about Coherence Retreats and our vibe, this is the perfect way to experience it in real life. No pressure. No long-haul flights. Just a really good weekend with really good women!
Note: This retreat takes place during SXSW weekend, when Austin is especially vibrant, but it is not officially affiliated with SXSW.
- Willie Nelson
Honestly? A really good weekend with really good women! Some intentional moments, some time to wander, and a retreat day that helps you drop into your body and your heart a bit more. Just ease. Just presence. Just connection that feels human and real!
It’s a weekend to meet new friends, move your body, laugh under the Austin sun, and remember your joy. A weekend where you get to connect with incredible women, explore a new city, and give back to yourself in a way that feels spacious and nourishing. A chance to meet community in real life and feel what Coherence energy is like!
This is Coherence at a micro scale. A taste of what we do, without the pressure of a long international retreat!

Disclaimer
Our retreats are intentionally curated spaces for self-discovery, transformation, adventure, and connection. While many women experience powerful personal shifts and moments of deep insight during our time together, our retreats are not a replacement for professional therapy, psychiatric care, or trauma treatment.
We hold deep respect for the unique journeys each guest is on and honor the full spectrum of human experience that may arise in these sacred containers. Our team includes experienced facilitators trained in various modalities, but we are not licensed therapists or medical professionals.
If you are currently navigating severe mental health challenges, PTSD, or deep unresolved trauma, we strongly encourage you to continue working with your therapist or healthcare provider in conjunction with (or prior to) joining us.
Our role is to hold a steady, supportive space for your unfolding - not to fix, label, or offer clinical care. You are your own best guide, and we trust you to know what forms of support you may need outside this space.
We also want to be clear: our retreats are not all serious and introspective. A big part of what we offer is joyful, playful, adventure-filled experiences. Yes, you’ll have the chance to explore inner growth through workshops and meaningful connection, but you’ll also be laughing around bonfires, dancing under the stars, exploring new landscapes, making inside jokes, and having the time of your life with like-minded women.
This is about the full spectrum...from deep moments to pure joy!
