The Resiliently Rising Retreat · Fall 2027
Trust Your Wings.
A retreat to come back to yourself.
Five days and four nights to soften, breathe, and reconnect—with your own strength, your inner steadiness, and women who understand the journey of healing after betrayal.
The heart behind Trust Your Wings
Rediscover the strength and steadiness within you.
After betrayal, it can feel as though your sense of safety and trust has been shaken. You may find yourself longing for reassurance, trying to make sense of what happened, or wondering how to feel like yourself again.
Trust Your Wings is about reconnecting with your own wisdom, capacity, and confidence—wherever your relationship journey leads. Whether you're rebuilding your marriage, discerning your next steps, or simply taking time to heal, you deserve support and a place to exhale.
With restorative experiences, meaningful community, and room for joy and play, we'll make space to remember the strength already within you. You won't be asked to share more than feels right, have all the answers, or reach some big breakthrough. You can simply arrive as you are.
“A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because its trust is not on the branch but on its own wings.”— Charlie Wardle
Imagine this
A few days where you can just be.
You wake up to crisp October air and mountain views. There's a warm drink with breakfast waiting, and nowhere you need to rush. You can take a deep breath before the day even begins.
Maybe you spend the morning stretching in yoga, then find yourself laughing with women who understand things you've struggled to put into words. There's time to wander a mountain trail, sink into the hot tub, or curl up under a blanket without feeling like you should be doing something else.
In the evening, someone else has made dinner. You gather around the table, share what feels comfortable, and enjoy the surprising lightness of being able to laugh again.
Not every moment needs to be profound. Sometimes feeling supported, rested, and more like yourself is enough.

Our home for the week
A cozy mountain sanctuary.
Tucked into beautiful Alpine, Utah, this spacious home gives us room to gather, laugh, rest, and enjoy the changing fall colors. Think slow mornings, soft blankets, mountain views, and evenings unwinding together.
A glimpse inside our mountain home. Venue arrangements are subject to final confirmation.
The rhythm of our days
Intentional, but never rushed.
Mornings
Ease into the day
Nourishing breakfast, gentle movement, somatic workshops and activities to reconnect with your body—and a morning hike to enjoy the mountains.
Afternoons
Explore and restore
Sound bath, personal photos, massages, connection activities, or simply taking time to relax at the house.
Evenings
Feel connected
Chef-prepared dinners, meaningful conversations, playful group time, gentle somatic exercises, and space for reflection.
This is a glimpse of the atmosphere, not a finalized itinerary. Participation in individual activities is always a choice.
The connection begins before we arrive
We'll start getting to know each other.
A few weeks before the retreat, we'll gather on a group Zoom call to meet one another, ease some of the first-day nerves, and start building connection before we step through the door.
After that call, everyone will be invited into a private GroupMe thread so we can stay connected, share excitement, and help each other feel a little more familiar leading up to our time together.
Your retreat host · Carrie Holladay
Held with care, not pressure.
I'm Carrie, a trauma-trained somatic practitioner and betrayal trauma coach—and I've lived through the disorientation of betrayal in my own marriage. I know that healing isn't something we can force or rush.
I created Trust Your Wings to offer the kind of space I wish every woman navigating betrayal could have: support without judgment, permission to be exactly where she is, and the experience of reconnecting with her own capacity to meet what comes next.
Whether you're newly navigating betrayal or have been on this road for years, you're welcome here.
