The Gathering at the Gap

A restorative women’s weekend in the Ozarks blending wilderness skills, relaxation, and meaningful connection.

May 15–17, join us at J3 at The Gap near Jasper, Arkansas for a welcoming women’s retreat designed for learning, rest, and connection—without pressure, performance, or a packed itinerary.

This weekend is intentionally created for women of all backgrounds and experience levels. You do not need to be outdoorsy, adventurous, or “into camping” to feel at home here. This is a beautiful opportunity to attend with your best friend, sister, mother, daughter, or someone you simply want to spend meaningful time with.

What’s Included

• Two nights in beautifully designed rustic cabins
• Catered dinners, charcuterie-style lunches, and easy breakfasts
• Wilderness First Aid training (including CPR)
• Pet First Aid class
• Full access to the facility, including hot tubs, wood-fired saunas, common spaces, and outdoor areas
• A Relaxation Station by The Luminous Current, offering holistic care such as reiki and sound healing (services are tip-based)
• Time for hiking, swimming, resting, porch sitting, bonfires, and unhurried connection

Accommodations & Sleeping Arrangements

Lodging at J3 at The Gap is shared and community-style, thoughtfully designed to feel warm, comfortable, and inviting. Each cabin has their own layout with their own sleeping set ups.

• Most beds are queen or king and will be shared
• A limited number of twin beds are available
• Some rooms are bunk-style, featuring four queen beds arranged in a shared space

Not every guest will have a private room or bed

. If attending with a friend or family member, we encourage you to room together. Solo attendees will be thoughtfully paired with other women in a welcoming, respectful environment.

Shared lodging is part of the experience—creating space for connection, laughter, late-night conversations, and a sense of togetherness that makes this weekend special.

Important Notes

• This is not a survival or endurance-based retreat
• Participation in activities is always optional
• Come curious, comfortable, and as you are

While leashed pets are always welcome at J3 at the Gap, they will not be permitted in the cabins for this event. If you plan to bring your furry friend, you are always welcome to camp in the Overland camping area.
