October 10–12, 2025 | Just South of Lawrence, KS | Micro Farm Sanctuary
Step away from the noise of a busy, overstimulated world and into a weekend of connection, restoration, and purpose. Gathering Joy is an intimate, immersive retreat for those ready to live and lead with light, wellness, and joy—in their lives and communities.
Over three transformative days on a peaceful micro farm, we’ll pause to rest, rebalance, and refocus—celebrating our stories, releasing what no longer serves us, and activating the next chapter of our personal and collective impact. Together, we’ll create a network of goodness, rooted in authenticity, healing, and the belief that we can—and must—be the good we wish to see.
This is more than a retreat—it’s a beta experience at an exceptional value, bringing together a founding circle of changemakers ready to live fully and lead boldly.
We’ll gather in a stunning, 125-year-old air-conditioned barn that serves as the heart of the retreat. With sweeping views, indoor bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, and serene spots for relaxation, it’s the perfect blend of rustic charm and comfort. Outdoors, you’ll find garden-fresh food, friendly farm animals (yes, chickens and goats!), nature trails, and a communal fire pit for stargazing and fireside connection.
Step into the quiet turning of autumn and find space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect.
Over one restorative weekend surrounded by open skies and autumn fields, you’ll pause the noise of daily life to release what no longer serves and welcome a renewed sense of clarity, peace, and purpose. Through sound healing, guided meditation, reflective journaling, connection circles, and a powerful fireside ceremony under the stars, you’ll be supported to step fully into the goodness you’re here to create.
