A Women’s Only Retreat
Wine, Women & WaterfallS
Awaken Your Senses Spring Retreat
This retreat is designed to be equal parts adventure and indulgence—beautiful hikes, memorable wines, incredible food, plenty of laughter, and the chance to experience this alongside a great group of women.
Experience Nature in Oregon
Step into one of the most beautiful landscapes on earth. Spring in the Willamette Valley is pure bliss.
Hike through misty forests and stand beneath powerful waterfalls. Feel the spray on your skin, hear the roar of water, witness the majesty of nature in its full expression.
Visit three of the region's most beautiful wineries. Roll through vineyards at golden hour, taste wines that tell stories of terroir, and learn from an expert sommelier who loves what she does.
A charming wine country town with art galleries, farm-to-table restaurants, and the kind of slow pace that reminds you what it feels like to breathe. Explore local shops, taste local flavors, meet the community.
This retreat is built around the five senses
You'll hear the roar of waterfalls, wind through trees, and meditation in profound quiet, where you can hear yourself again.
You'll taste and smell wine and learn to slow down enough to be present.
You'll see beauty everywhere you turn with Oregon in spring.
You'll feel moss beneath your feet and waterfall spray on your skin.
Through guided meditations, soulful journaling, and spontaneous joy and exploration, you’ll reconnect with your whole self.
Some Highlights Include:
Hike Silver Falls State Park
We'll take time to explore and then go hike in what people call the “crown jewel” of the Oregon State Parks system, and once you visit, you'll know why.
Walk among 10 stunning waterfalls. Feel the spray, hear the roar, witness the power and majesty of water carving through earth over time.
Three Sommelier-Guided Wine Tastings
Learn from Jennifer, a sommelier who doesn't just know wine—she knows how to use it as a doorway to presence. Taste wines that tell stories. Slow down enough to actually notice.
Sensory Meditation & Breathwork
Amidst all the fun and exploration, we’ll make space for stillness. Our mornings begin with meditation and journaling to ground and guide you. And during our group session, led by Marie, you’ll release what’s weighing you down and reconnect with your intuition—your sixth sense.

Client Testimonials
The Golden Hour Retreat with Marie Smith is a peaceful getaway that focuses on self-care and self-alignment. It allows one to get back in touch with their needs and values in a fun and inspiring atmosphere. For me it was a lovely getaway filled with friendship, bathing in nature, and time to renew my focus on what’s important and matters most to me. The connections made were encouraging and we shared laughter and heart centered growth.

Marie’s Rest and Rejuvenation Retreat in Sewanee, TN, was a transformative experience. We enjoyed yoga, hiking, sound healing, and insightful exercises on relationships and self. The sisterhood and friendships formed were truly special. Marie's warm presence and expert guidance made it a perfect blend of relaxation and personal growth. Highly recommended!
-Malain M.
The Summer Rejuvenation Retreat was nothing short of amazing. You are truly using your God given talents to host retreats and coach others. I felt like the retreat was the perfect balance of adventure, work, fun and relaxation. It was a great reminder for me to refuel my spiritual needs through being outdoors, having quiet time and laughter with new like minded friends. I look forward to the next retreat with great anticipation. Thank you for following God’s lead to provide for us with something I didn’t realize was so important.
