The Gathering Place
A Women’s Retreat
Where women come to restore, connect and simply breathe.
April 2nd-4th, 2027
✨ Retreat Overview
Think of this retreat as a reset button. A chance to take a step back, breathe deeply, and check in with yourself — without distractions, deadlines, or pressure. We’ll spend the weekend together in a beautiful space, moving our bodies, getting creative, having real conversations, and simply being.
It’s about tuning in, not checking out. You choose what feels right for you — we’re just here to hold the space.
💛 Core Mission Statement
To give women the space to connect with themselves and others, make time for what matters, and build community through self-love, mindfulness, and breath.
What to Expect
A Women’s Retreat at The Pump House
April 2027 • The Pump House • Bloomsburg, PA
We’re doing it again—and building on everything we loved about last year!
After a wonderful first retreat, we’ve taken what we learned and are making 2027 a little deeper, a little more intentional, and still full of the fun, connection, and unexpected moments that made last year so special.
This year, we’re making more room to simply be—more time for personal reflection, more time in nature, and more opportunities to move, create, laugh, connect, and breathe.
We’re also digging deeper into a topic that affects every woman: our health. What does good women’s healthcare actually look like? How do we know when we’re getting good care? What questions should we be asking—and what should it feel like to be heard, respected, and cared for?
And because women are already incredibly resilient, we’re not here to teach. Instead, we want to help you gather things to reach for—practical tools, ideas, resources, and practices you can take home and turn to when life gets hard.
You’ll also have new ways to move and create this year, with new movement practices, hands-on crafts, and special guests bringing fresh experiences to the weekend. We’ll spend more time outside, too, taking advantage of the trails, creek, woods, and quiet spaces around The Pump House.
And there are some delicious additions! Craft Catering is joining us for the first time to provide our meals, and Freas Farm Winery will be back. We’re also grateful to have Together for Health and Wellness joining us as an event sponsor.
The full schedule is still taking shape, but one thing is certain: there will be room to slow down, connect, learn something new, get creative, and remember that you are enough.
We can’t wait to gather with you.
