“Making Space for Magic”
Catskills, NY

Making Space for Magic
A Transformative & Restorative Weekend Retreat for Female Founders
Just what your business, your nervous system and your SOUL have been dreaming of:
A retreat designed exclusively for female founders who know that time & space are crucial to both success and happiness, but need a little nudge to carve it out. We’ll use this time together to regulate our nervous systems, connect deeply to our inner wisdom, and invite insights that would never materialize in go-go-go mode or hunched over a laptop.
Hosted at the insanely beautiful Silent G Farms in the serene Catskills mountains, you’ll enjoy a long weekend of seclusion in nature, grounding and energetic healing, spiritual wisdom, practical group coaching, connection with extraordinarily inspiring founders, and SO MUCH MORE!
Did we mention — private chef-crafted meals by the fabulous Vilda Gonzalez, a sound journey by master healer Jessica Caplan, as well as yoga, breathwork, sauna, a swimmable pond and of course — an incredible swag bag?!

WHERE YOU’LL GATHER
Located in North Branch, Silent G Farms sits on twenty pristine and private acres in the historic Western Catskills.
The property consists of a classic white farmhouse perched above a spring fed pond, a charming guest house, and fully refurbished 130-year-old Barn that features a huge open loft space, on-site wood-burning cedar sauna, fire pit for ceremonies, & Zen garden.
Privacy, tranquility, the sounds of nature, and the perfect setting to get into some witchy shit.
Oh yes ladies — it’s happening.
"She stopped trying to force things and instead let herself be led. That’s when the real magic began."
WHAT TO EXPECT
FRIDAY
You’ll arrive Friday afternoon around 3pm — the Catskills skyline opening up your aperture as your jaw unclenches and your shoulders slowly drop away from your ears…
Upon finding your room, a sweet curated gift bag will be waiting for you along with a printed itinerary for your Type A tendencies. Maybe you immediately take a dip in the pond or decompress in the Zen Garden for a moment of peace before joining the group.
A sumptuous feast, prepared by Master Chef Vilda Gonzalez will be followed by an Opening Circle: an opportunity to meet the other women present and truly arrive in the witchy splendor of nature. Before bed, Amanda will lead a Somatic Mindfulness session to help any last bits of fight or flight fade into a distant memory…
SATURDAY
Sleep in (!!) OR join the group for a guided sunrise yoga session by a guest presenter in the grand room, then coffee, matcha and a healthy but decadent breakfast spread awaits.
Throughout the day three (3) Mastermind Group coaching sessions that fuse Executive Expertise with Spiritual Wisdom will directly support the challenges of the group. A final agenda will be circulated once all attendees have completed their pre-retreat coaching session with Amanda.
After a delicious lunch, you will have the option to experience breathwork with guest teacher Julian Porcino, book a 1-1 Somatic Experiencing session with Amanda or a massage with our on-site bodyworker (for an additional fee).
In the evening, master healer Jessica Caplan will lead us on a Sound Journey that will take you to another planet (with no plant medicine required!). Dinner will be followed by a New Moon intention setting fire ceremony.
SUNDAY
Sunrise yoga, a Shamanic elemental blessing ceremony, a decadent brunch & closing circle will complete our time together.
Every attendee will be invited to give “an audacious ask” to the powerful & connected group, and to share contact information so that there can be fruitful connection once we all return home.
But — we’ve got the house til 5pm! So if you’ve got time and you’d like to stay, chill, head to the sauna, explore the 20 acre property, or book a private session — you are welcome to spend the day with us!
Logistics: Travel to & from the retreat venue is not included, but reach out if you need help planning travel. Amanda is an upstate local now and will make sure logistics do not preclude anyone from joining in the fun.
