Ask Yourself

Have pieces of yourself become hidden beneath the roles you carry?

Are you longing for something you cannot quite name - a deeper belonging, a quieter wisdom?

Are you ready to reclaim the strength, intuition, creativity, and freedom that have never truly been lost?

Our Location - Mercy by the Sea

Madison, Connecticut

Mercy by the Sea is a retreat and conference center set along the Connecticut shoreline, offering a quiet, contemplative setting where land meets water.

It is a place to arrive, exhale, and listen — to the tide, and to yourself.

Why Attend This Retreat Day?

Remember Your Wildness
Through story, weaving, and ritual, reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been quietly waiting beneath the surface.

Creative & Embodied Practice
Engage in contemplative weaving and a guided labyrinth walk that invite reflection through the hands and the body, not just the mind.

Return to Yourself
Leave with a woven keepsake and a renewed sense of belonging to your own life.

Questions?

What do I bring?
Comfortable clothing you can move in, and anything you'd like to weave into your piece — a ribbon, a bead, a small memento — if you wish.

What is the cancellation policy?

No refunds available;  should you be unable to attend, you are welcome to transfer your ticket to another person.

I'm not creative — will I enjoy this day?
Absolutely. This retreat isn't about artistic skill — it's about meaningful self-expression. No experience needed, just curiosity and an open mind.

You'll leave not only inspired — but rewoven, remembered, and ready to return to the sea whenever you need her.
