You are warmly invited to gather for a weekend of connection on the shores of the Salish Sea in Western Washington.
This spring retreat is an opportunity to step out of daily demands and into a slower, more intentional rhythm. Together, we will explore the themes of the season—renewal, growth, resilience, and the fertility of mind and spirit—through creative, reflective, and relational practices.
Our time together will include art-making, journaling, guided conversation, meditation, song, gentle movement, shared meals, and time outdoors. These practices are offered as ways to listen more closely to your deep inner knowing and to tend to the changes unfolding in your life. The weekend is designed to be nourishing, supportive, and spacious, leaving you feeling well cared for and inspired.
Welcome
Magic is at our fingertips if only we know how to reach for it. Since childhood I have been following the quiet call of wildness and wonder down the path to a more enchanted life. In this time I have stepped humbly into my role as a gatherer - someone who takes deep care to bring people back to themselves and one another. I want you to fall in love with this life: the highs and lows, the silly and the sacred. Through ceremony, ritual, mindfulness, movement, and voice we can weave an intricate, abiding relationship to ourselves and the world around us.
- Leila Strong
My Offerings
In these in-person circles, women gather to pause, reflect, and reconnect. With a blend of ritual, journaling, and open sharing, each circle offers a space to be witnessed, to belong, and to be held in community. Circles are open to all women and take place regularly at Simply Rooted in Downtown Redding
Retreats and special events offer extended time to step away from daily life and drop into deeper connection—with yourself, with others, and with the rhythms of nature. These immersive gatherings weave together ritual, rest, creative expression, and community. Whether it’s a full-day event or a weekend retreat, each one is designed with care to nourish your inner life and honor the season you’re in.
These custom women’s retreats are for existing groups — circles, book clubs, long-time friends, mothers’ groups, creative collectives — who want to intentionally deepen connection, mark a transition, or spend meaningful time together. I come in as a guest facilitator, designing and guiding a retreat specifically for your group, your relationships, and the season you’re in.
