GRIT AND GROWTH WOMEN’S RETREAT

August 26th-29th 2021

Welcome to the GRIT AND GROWTH Women’s Retreat. Our retreat takes place in Flagstaff, AZ nestled in the Ponderosa Pines at 7000ft. But don’t be confused. This retreat is not just a place, it’s an experience. A transformation. An intimate and exclusive setting of women. A chance to make connections, bond with girlfriends, to rediscover who you are, to be pampered, to be nourished, to be entrenched in nature, to laugh, to maybe cry, to elevate one another, and to find a deeper sense of purpose in your life. If this sounds like what you’re after, please keep reading. Below you’ll find information on our 4 leaders of the retreat, a schedule of events, package information and what you will walk away with.

WHAT WILL I FIND AT GRIT AND GROWTH

The G & G Women’s Retreat is about you. What you are seeking. Authentic connections and friendships that will last beyond the weekend. A luxurious intimate getaway. You will be pampered with a private therapeutic massage, guided through meditation and morning Yoga. You will be nourished with wholesome fresh farm to table food and walk away with a knowledge of what and how you can properly fuel your body. We will explore the outdoors, in one of the most breathtaking cities. You’ll be spoiled with goodies bags filled with Picky Bars, a Yoga kit, and a pair of HOKA ONE ONE shoes and gear. You’ll have a private session with our chiropractor to align yourself, to assess any imbalances and a PT and pelvic health consultation. Lastly, like the title, at GRIT and GROWTH, you will experience a deeper sense of who you are, who you want to be, and the skills and practices to do so going forward. At the end of the day we are seeking to be fulfilled from within. As women we know the challenges we face, the balancing we do, and how sometimes we put ourselves last. We believe at the G & G Retreat it is your time to be put first.

GET GRITTY WITH STEPH BRUCE

Steph’s passion for launching this Women’s retreat was born from the idea that we as women are often juggling so many things in our lives, often overwhelming us and clouding who we really are. Steph believes when women begin uplifting other women, the possibilities are endless. That is why Steph reached out to her friends Sara, Tianna, and Nicole because they are women who she believes enrich the lives of those they interact with. At the end of the day we are seeking to be fulfilled from within. We believe at the GRIT and GROWTH Retreat you will be fulfilled through connecting with new friends, Yoga Meditation, finding your balance, hiking through nature, nourishing your body with wholesome freshly prepared meals, learning to love your body, challenge your fears, and do so alongside other like minded women.
