Catalyze + Connect | A Nova x Star Path Mini Retreat
Come spend a day with women who are building big lives and craving space to be authentic, be fully themselves, and connect in ways that allow you to drop any masks from the moment you walk into the room
Hosted at the serene Madrone Springs Ranch just outside Austin, this half-day retreat is for soul-led women who are done with surface-level spaces. Here, we go deeper. You’ll be held by nature, welcomed into intentional circles, and given space to simply be...and have a good time!!
📍 Madrone Springs Ranch | Just outside Austin, TX
📆 Wednesday, August 14, 2025
🕘 9:30 AM – 2:00 PM (arrive between 9:00–9:30 AM)
Why We're Gathering
We’re bringing together everything we love most:
- ✨ To step away from the chaos of our normal lives and be in nature that soothes your nervous system
- ✨ Meaningful conversation and a chance to find our people
- ✨ Good food, grounded energy, and room to exhale and likely have some deeply belly laughts
If you’ve been longing for space to reset, reconnect, and feel fully yourself—this day was made for you.
What’s Included
- A ½-day retreat on private land near Austin
- Opening and closing circles to anchor the experience
- Thoughtful prompts and real conversations (no small talk, ever)
- Time to float in the creek, walk the trails, sit in the sauna, or simply rest
- A relaxed, seasonal lunch shared around the table
- A room full of women you don’t have to explain yourself to
This isn’t a day to “work on” yourself. It’s a day to return to yourself.
What to Bring
- A swimsuit, towel, and (optional) water shoes
- Something comfortable and true to you for circle—whatever makes you feel most like yourself
