The Summer House Social Retreat

Don’t you deserve a real vacation for once?

You know that feeling when you’re rotting in bed and hoping a spark of motivation will get you up to tackle the pile of laundry that has been sitting in the corner for 3 days? That’s when you know you need a reset.

If you keep saying you need to rest but somehow it turns into more items on your to-do list, or if you miss laughing until your stomach hurts while staying up late with your favorite people, this retreat is what will heal you.

This summer, we’re turning Chanteclaire your own personal sanctuary — tucked into the country mountains, surrounded by nature, nostalgia, comfort, creativity, and women who know just how exhausting it is without a real break.

We’re not here to push self-help tips or to disguise journal prompts as healing.

This is a place where you can forget outside expectations, indulge in things you actually enjoy, and reconnect with the version of you that’s been missing for years.

What Is The Summer House Social?

Over four days, you’ll find a set of 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 illegal.

Everything is optional — This weekend isn’t about having it together or showing off your good side.

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 just as the mountains begin turning gold in the evening light.

There’s music floating from 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, snacks you remember from your childhood, and more.

You change into the coziest pajamas and hear someone laughing in the kitchen over a board game.

Another group is trying face masks at the beauty bar.

For the first time in a long time, you start to relax and realize:

“This is exactly what I needed.”

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

(Maybe even a softer, happier version of yourself.)

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 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.

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

Wildflower crowns
Cloud watching
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 child 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
Beautiful surroundings
Permission to do absolutely nothing productive

And then comes movie night.

Matching pajamas, blankets everywhere, a popcorn seasoning bar, and nostalgic candy boxes. The ultimate guilty pleasure movie plays while everyone slowly melts into the couches like human marshmallows.

It’s healing in ways you didn’t know you needed.

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, hugs, and maybe even some tears of joy.

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?

Pretending burnout can be fixed with green juice and productivity podcasts is unrealistic.

We’re taking a lighter approach where each activity is designed to regulate your nervous system, make you feel lighter than ever, and connect you with women in the same place as you.

In this weekend, the outside world doesn’t exists, you are allowed to simply enjoy your life in the present moment.
