“Learning 4 life through a love 4 learning”
CALL US: 715.721.4844
You give your all to others. This is your time to remember who you are.
Join us in Chippewa Falls, WI for a 2-night soul-nourishing experience created for home-based child care providers who give deeply and are ready to receive.
It’s not a break. It’s a return — to joy, clarity, and purpose.
You hold so much for others. When’s the last time someone held space for you?
Joy wakes up early.
The house is quiet but her mind is already spinning.
Meals to prep. Tiny shoes to find. Crayons and blocks. Learning to document. Boo-boos fixed with a hug. Tears to soothe. A house to clean. A business to run.
She pours out love all day long — to the children in her care, to the families who rely on her, to the community she quietly strengthens.
But under the smile and to-do lists... she’s tired.
Not just physically. Soul tired.
Disconnected. Unseen. Running on fumes.
And no one seems to notice — not even her.
The Spark Retreat was made for Joy.
And if you see yourself in her…
it was made for you, too.
This isn’t just a weekend away.
It’s a gentle exhale — a space where you can stop pretending you’re fine, and finally feel held.
It’s a return to your inner spark — the part of you that remembers why you started this work, this life, this mission in the first place.
What if you gave yourself permission to pause?
Let this be your sacred interruption —
A two-night sanctuary to reconnect with the you who's been buried under responsibilities.
This retreat offers:
-
✨ Space to breathe without guilt
-
✨ Soulful connection with women who truly get you
-
✨ Time to rest, reflect, and realign your purpose
-
✨ Nourishment for your body, mind, and spirit — without needing to give a single thing in return
Because you can’t keep giving from an empty cup.
And you don’t need to earn rest. You deserve it.
Why The Spark Retreat now?
Because too many heart-centered women are exhausted, quietly carrying the emotional labor of families, businesses, and communities without a place to refill.
Because your passion deserves sustainability.
Because your voice deserves to be heard.
Because your work is sacred — and so are you.
And if you don’t stop to care for yourself…
Who will?

This retreat is for you if...
-
You feel unseen, overextended, or emotionally drained
-
You’ve forgotten what it feels like to be truly nourished
-
You want to reconnect with the passion and purpose behind your work
-
You long to be in community with women who get you
-
You’re craving a pause — not to escape your life, but to reconnect with it
You might wonder...
-
“Will it really make a difference in two days?”
Yes — because this isn’t about doing more. It’s about coming home to yourself. One deep breath, one powerful insight, one healing conversation can ripple for months.​
-
“What if everything falls apart while I’m gone?”
The truth is: the world will be okay for 48 hours without you. And when you return, you'll be more grounded, clear, and present.​
-
“Can I really spend money on myself?”
You’ve been investing in others every day. Invest in your business. Invest in yourself. This is your invitation to say, I matter too.
What You'll Walk Away With
Reconnection to Yourself
You’ll finally have space to listen inward — to hear your own voice again beneath the noise.
“I remembered what I want — not just what others need.”
Rest for Your Nervous System
You’ll experience deep rest and release through grounding practices, cozy surroundings, and unhurried time.
“I didn’t realize how much tension I was holding until I let it go.”
Clarity on Your Purpose
Through guided reflection and intentional conversations, you’ll realign your spark with your mission in child care — and gain tools to make it sustainable.
“This retreat helped me fall back in love with my work — on my terms.”
A Permission Slip to Slow Down
No pressure to perform or produce. Just the sacred reminder that rest is not a reward — it’s a right.
“It’s the first time I’ve done something just for me... and I’m better for it.”
Soulful Sisterhood
You’ll be surrounded by women who understand your journey — no explaining, no pretending, just genuine connection.
“I didn’t know how much I needed to be seen until I was.”
This retreat isn’t just a relaxing weekend — it’s a transformational reset designed to nourish your heart, body, and leadership.
You won’t leave this retreat with a to-do list. You’ll leave with a renewed spark — one that lights the way forward with more ease, clarity, and self-trust.
She hesitated at first...
Joy almost didn’t come.
She told herself she didn’t have time. That $600 was too much. That things might fall apart without her.
But something inside her whispered…
“You need this.”
So she said yes.
On Friday, she drove in tense and distracted. Her shoulders were tight. Her mind still racing.
But the moment she stepped through the doors — soft music playing, hors d'oeuvres waiting, women smiling warmly — she exhaled for the first time in weeks.
That night, she slept deeper than she had in months.
On Saturday morning, Joy joined the circle, a little nervous at first.
But as the conversation unfolded, she found herself speaking truths she hadn’t said out loud before.
She journaled. She cried. She laughed. She felt seen — not as “Miss Joy” or “the daycare lady” — but as herself.
The afternoon session sparked something she didn’t expect:
Clarity.
She saw how her purpose and her child care work could align — in a way that felt light and sustainable again.
That evening, she savored every bite of the sensory dinner, not just as food — but as honoring. She let herself be nourished.
By Sunday, Joy stood a little taller.
She felt rooted. Reconnected. Radiant.
She didn’t have all the answers — but she left with something more powerful:
Her spark.
​
Joy isn't just an idea.
She's a reflection of so many women — including myself, at times.
​
Women who show up every day with heart, who carry so much, and who rarely get a space that's truly for them.
​
The Spark Retreat was created because I’ve seen firsthand how women like Joy slowly forget their spark — and I’ve felt it in myself, too.
​
This weekend isn’t about fixing or forcing anything.
It’s about creating the space I know so many of us have needed for a long time.
​
If even a piece of Joy’s story resonates...
I hope you’ll say yes to yourself, too.
