Rooted & Wild Fall Retreat
November 6th-8th
Innsbrook, Missouri
Through meaningful conversation, guided therapeutic-informed experiences, embodiment practices, story work, rest, creativity, and time immersed in God’s beautiful creation, we create opportunities for women to reconnect with themselves, with one another, and with the deeper movements of their hearts.
This isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about returning to the parts of yourself that may have been forgotten, neglected, hidden, or waiting patiently to be rediscovered.
We believe wonder is healing.
We believe connection is sacred.
We believe your story matters.
And we believe that when women gather with openness and intention, beautiful things happen.
Whether you come seeking rest, clarity, community, renewal, or simply a chance to breathe deeply again, we hope you’ll find a place here.
A place to be rooted.
A place to be wild.
A place to come home to yourself.

❋ Who It’s For
In the midst of full calendars and constant demands to care for everyone else, many women feel disconnected from their own stories, desires, and needs.
Rooted & Wild Retreats invites you to pause, gather, and remember who you are beneath all the roles you carry.
When women come together in a safe, sacred, and welcoming space, walls soften, stories are shared, laughter returns, and healing unfolds.
Our retreats nurture both rootedness and wildness—helping you feel grounded in who you are while creating room to grow, dream, explore, and welcome back the wild, intuitive, creative parts of your soul. Not by becoming someone new, but by remembering who you have always been and bringing those parts into daily life with kindness and intention.
This retreat is for women who:
Long to slow down and reconnect with themselves, God, and others.
Desire a safe, sacred space to explore the stories that have shaped their lives.
Are curious about the wisdom their bodies carry and want to respond with greater compassion.
Crave meaningful connection, laughter, rest, and time immersed in the beauty of creation.
Sense there are parts of themselves that have been forgotten, silenced, or tucked away along the journey of life.
❋ Who We Are
Rooted & Wild was born from a shared desire to create safe and sacred spaces where women can step away from the demands of everyday life, reconnect with themselves, and experience meaningful connection with others. We believe there is something powerful about gathering with intention—making room for rest, reflection, healing, wonder, and the beauty of God’s creation.
Together, Susan James and Carrie Bradley bring complementary backgrounds to this work. Susan is a EMDR and parts work-informed therapist, and Carrie is a trained story coach and facilitator of embodied practices. Through retreats, they create experiences that invite women to reconnect with their stories, honor their inner wisdom, and return home to the parts of themselves that have been longing for care, expression, and renewal.
