Immersive Retreats for Women's Empowerment, Cooking and Meditation
 

Nourish: A Day Retreat

This women-only retreat offers a rare opportunity to step out of daily life and into deep nourishment. In the intimate setting of a home studio just outside New York City, you'll experience a day designed to awaken all your senses and reconnect you to what it means to truly feed yourself - body, heart, and spirit.

Through sound healing, hands-on cooking, mindful eating, and ritual blend creation, you'll explore nourishment as a full-body practice. Limited to 10 participants, this retreat creates space for authentic connection, presence, and the kind of transformation that comes when we slow down enough to actually feel what nourishes us. You'll leave with practices you can take home, a custom ritual blend you've created, and a renewed relationship with how you nourish yourself in all areas of life.

What to Expect

We believe wellness begins with how you feed your body and soul. Through mindful practices, communal experiences, and intentional nourishment, this retreat will help you rediscover balance, joy, and connection - inside and out.

The spring equinox is a natural moment of balance - a threshold between seasons, a pause before emergence. Nourish: A Day Retreat blends mindful cooking, sound healing, and hands-on creative ritual into a deeply nourishing experience. This isn't about escape. It's about returning to rhythm. About connecting - with your body, the food you make, and the energy of the season.
Together, we'll gather around food, sound, and shared space to remember what it feels like to move more slowly, more intentionally, and more fully in tune.

This retreat is for you if:

  • You crave a pause. A reset. A reconnection.

  • You want to feel more grounded and inspired as the season shifts.

  • You’re curious about using food and sound as tools, not just habits.

  • You’re done with shame or restriction around food- you’re ready for joy, fun, creativity, and nourishment that lasts.

  • You want meaningful tools you can bring home.

  • You’re seeking connection - with yourself, others, and something deeper.

Phenomenal experience all around! The perfect balance of thoughtful, meticulous, warm and professional. Melanie and Allison are truly gifted in curating the perfect gathering, paying close attention to both our individual and group needs. Their program that included a mix of mindfulness activities, sound baths and yoga, coupled with delicious nourishing meals, created the best rejuvenation experience one can have! Thank you!

I had the pleasure of attending Melanie’s retreat. Her deep knowledge and feisty, boisterous personality made the whole experience a beautiful group effort filled with laughter, education, and insanely delicious, nourishing food. I have shared her recipes with loved ones since with great success, and highly recommend connecting with Melanie!

- Ruthie

Attending this retreat was truly a nourishing experience, both physically and emotionally. The meals were exquisite -healthy, delicious, and crafted with so much care -and the activities left me feeling grounded, inspired, and deeply connected to myself and others. It was a gift to be part of such a thoughtful and heart-centered experience.

- Sharon

This was the retreat I didn't know I needed. Melanie's sound baths moved me in a way I didn't know I needed. Her cooking experiences - who knew cooking could be this? I gave myself the gift of nourishment and I am so grateful for this experience.
