Over three immersive days, you’ll experience clarity-building sessions, guided reflection, and proven goal-setting frameworks that turn your big dreams into actionable steps, all in a serene winter setting that inspires focus and renewal.
This is your invitation to pause before the new year rush begins, reflect on what truly matters, and design the blueprint that will carry you through 2026 with focus, purpose, and confidence.
Over three days of guided goal-setting sessions with a certified coach, vision board creation, and supportive community, you’ll not only dream, you’ll leave with a personalized, actionable plan you can put into motion the moment you return home.

Goal Setting Retreat
As the day comes to a close, you realize, you didn’t just attend a retreat.
You chose to step into a new way of living.
You’ve begun to explore the habits and limiting beliefs that have been holding you back, and discovered what it feels like to design life on your own terms. Here, elegance feels natural, and every detail whispers: yes, people really do live like this—and so can you if you are intentional.
This curated weekend experience is designed for women seeking fresh inspiration and practical ways to elevate their lives by being clear about what they want and setting meaningful, actionable goals.
Held at a private lake cottage, this retreat blends restorative downtime with guided planning sessions that help you define what you want most. You’ll cement your vision with step-by-step strategies for achieving it. You’ll leave not just inspired by your ability to dream big, but equipped with a clear roadmap for what’s truly possible in your life—so you’ll know exactly what to Be. Do. Say. to step into your new reality.
You'll be welcomed by your host, Cheryl Grace

With decades of experience coaching women through every stage of life, I’ve helped clients launch their careers, move up with promotions, and even reimagine their “Life 2.0” after retirement. I've turned what once felt like a pipedream for many professionals into reality using practical and strategic action steps.
As a certified coach in goal setting, confidence building, and lifestyle design, I’ve worked with individuals and corporate leaders to create lasting breakthroughs.
I don’t just teach these skills; I live them. Everything I’ve manifested in my own life, from the vacation home where this retreat is held to dream jobs, luxury cars, and a fulfilling marriage, comes from the same practices I will share with you. When you attend this retreat, you step into the care of someone who understands both the mindset and the mechanics of bringing dreams to life. Think of me as a modern-day fairy godmother who is certified, credentialed, and committed to showing you how to design the future you’ve been yearning for.
My promise is to give you the structure, strategies, and support you need to move from dreaming about “someday” to creating your reality, one step, one choice, one intention at a time.
IÂ hear you wondering...
Â
“Is now really the time? A retreat sounds amazing, but baby, it's cold outside!"
"Can I really afford to step away from my job and family for a weekend, including all day Friday, just for me?”
“I keep telling myself I’ll figure out my next chapter once things calm down… but they never really do, do they?”
“I want to stop recycling the same resolutions year after year, but without a plan I fall back into the same routines.”
“I know I want more out of life, more fulfillment, more purpose, but I don’t know where to start with everything I’m already juggling—and the price tag of a weekend away—how do I justify taking a weekend for myself?”
Your future self, my friend, is the justification.
Â
Because when you feel good, you show up better.
Â
The time you take now to reset, refocus, and reorder your next steps will ripple into every part of your life long after this weekend ends. If not now, then when?
2026 is the year you design your life with intention and stop settling.
And the beauty is, you don’t need to fly across the world to find peace, connection, and inspiration. Just a liberating two-hour drive from Chicago brings you to South Haven, Michigan, where for one rare weekend the emphasis is entirely on you.Â


No deadlines, no demands, no distractions. Just the space to focus fully on your goals, your vision, and the life you want to create in 2026.
All you have to do is say yes.






Â
Â
Each day blends creativity with strategy.
Â
You’ll learn how to create an annual vision board, master your time so you stop giving it away, and break big goals into monthly, weekly, and daily action steps without the overwhelm. You’ll also discover practical ways to keep moving forward when life starts LIFE-ING.
From quiet moments of meditation, fireside chats, and restorative massages to energizing sessions of vision planning and real talk with women on the same journey, you’ll move seamlessly between reflection and action.
Add in elegant meals, lakeside winter strolls, warm mocktails or wine, and thoughtful surprises, and you’ll walk away with more than memories. You’ll return home locked and loaded with tools, strategies, and techniques to break free from the rut, replace uncertainty with direction, and finally start living the life you’ve been putting on hold.
Â
Three days, One Intention:
to send you home equipped, energized, and ready to live the life you’ve designed and deserve.
