The Summer House Social Retreat

A Soft Escape for Women Who Are Tired of Holding Everything Together

You know that feeling when your nervous system is technically functioning… but only because caffeine, cortisol, and pure obligation are carrying the team?

Yeah. This retreat is for that version of you.

The one who keeps saying she needs a break but somehow turns “rest” into another task to optimize. The one who misses laughing until her stomach hurts, making things just because they’re beautiful, staying up too late with good people, and feeling genuinely present in her own life.

This summer, we’re turning Chanteclaire into the grown-up sleepover of your dreams — tucked into the country mountains, surrounded by nature, nostalgia, comfort, creativity, and women who are also quietly craving softness.

Not self-improvement.
Not hustle disguised as healing.
Not another retreat where you leave with homework.

This is restoration with personality.
Beauty with a little chaos.
Comfort with a wink.

And honestly? It might be the most fun you’ve had in years.

What Is The Summer House Social?

Part retreat.
Part nostalgic summer camp.
Part elevated girls’ weekend.
Part permission slip to fully exhale.

Over four days, you’ll settle into an intentionally curated experience filled with cozy rituals, creative workshops, comfort food, nostalgic games, meaningful connection, self-care, nature, movie nights, karaoke, beauty bars, bonfires, and the kind of joy that feels almost suspiciously good.

Everything is optional.
Nothing is performative.
No one expects you to “have it together.”

You can join every activity or disappear with a blanket and a mocktail whenever you need to. This weekend is designed to meet you exactly where you are.

Imagine This…

You arrive at the farm just as the mountains begin turning gold in the evening light.

There’s music floating through the house. Mocktails and cocktails waiting for you. Your room is cozy and welcoming, complete with thoughtful little luxuries — plush socks, sleep masks, beauty goodies, personalized touches, and snacks waiting on the bed.

You change into custom pajamas. Someone’s laughing in the kitchen over a board game. Someone else is making tea. Another group is trying face masks at the beauty bar.

For the first time in a long time, your nervous system realizes:

“Oh. We’re safe here.”

And somehow over the next few days, without forcing anything, you begin feeling like yourself again.

Maybe even a softer version of yourself.
Maybe even a happier one.

Day One

Arrival + Soft Landing

The retreat begins with the coziest possible welcome.

After check-in, settle into a relaxed evening reception with cocktails, mocktails, comfort-food snacks, dreamy music, and time to explore the property and meet the other guests.

Then the evening unfolds into the ultimate elevated sleepover:

Custom pajamas
Beauty bar stations
Nostalgic board games
Cozy lounges
Snacks and treats
Gentle introductions
Soft music and candlelight
Zero pressure to socialize perfectly

This is your official invitation to stop performing and start unwinding.

Day Two

Discover & Express Your Unique Energy

Friday is all about creativity, play, and reconnecting with joy.

The morning begins slowly with a comforting breakfast, coffee-house ambiance, blankets, journaling prompts, puzzles, coloring, and quiet corners designed for lingering.

From there, we move into gentle yoga and creative workshops, including nature-inspired sun prints made with gathered flowers, leaves, and found natural elements from the property.

And then? Things get delightfully unserious.

Throughout the afternoon, you wander through a nostalgic scavenger hunt designed to reconnect you with playfulness and curiosity:

Wildflower crowns
Cloud watching
Creek-side wandering
Pet rocks
Skipping rope
Lawn games
Running dramatically through fields like the main character
Tiny moments that remind you life does not have to feel so serious all the time

The evening closes with a lounging picnic dinner under the open sky, followed by karaoke, bonfires, lawn games, and late-night laughter.

Day Three

Indulge, Romanticize, Repeat

Saturday is where the retreat fully leans into softness and feminine joy.

Start the day with gentle movement, self facial massage, and lymphatic drainage techniques designed to help you feel grounded, relaxed, and cared for.

Then spend the afternoon doing things your inner teenager would absolutely lose her mind over:

Lounging in kiddie pools
Watching nostalgic movies
Learning iconic movie dance choreography
Paint-and-sip sessions
Coffee drinks and cocktails
Slow conversations
Beautiful surroundings
Permission to do absolutely nothing productive

And then comes movie night.

Matching pajamas. Blankets everywhere. Popcorn seasoning bars. Nostalgic candy boxes. Feminine comfort movies playing while everyone slowly melts into the couches like human marshmallows.

It’s cozy.
It’s ridiculous.
It’s healing in ways therapy alone simply cannot explain.

Day Four

Integration + Closing

Before heading home, we gather for one final breakfast and closing circle to reflect on the weekend together.

There will be surprises.
There will be hugs.
There may honestly be tears.

And ideally, you leave feeling softer, lighter, more connected, and more yourself than when you arrived.

This Retreat Is Perfect For You If…
- Your exhausted from constantly being “on”
- You crave rest without isolation
- You miss creativity, playfulness, and genuine connection
- You want a retreat that feels welcoming instead of intimidating
- You love cozy aesthetics, nostalgic experiences, and meaningful little details
- You’re overdue for joy that doesn’t need to be earned

What Makes This Different?

This isn’t luxury wellness culture pretending burnout can be fixed with green juice and productivity podcasts.

This is intentional softness.
This is comfort as rebellion.
This is nostalgia as nervous system repair.

We believe rest should feel beautiful.
Healing can include laughter.
And women deserve spaces where they don’t have to constantly prove, optimize, improve, or perform.

You are allowed to simply enjoy your life.
