LOVE WITHIN

Women's Day Retreat

FEBRUARY 21, 2026 

SECLUDED RETREAT LODGE | BOURBON, MO 

1 hour drive from St. Louis, MO 63116

Saturday  |  9am - 5pm CST

An all-inclusive Day Retreat for women ready to return their roots, come home to the Self,

and ground into the love within.

A few things we hope for you ...

  • Release the burden of your own and other's expectations

  • Release guilt and shame connected to the version of you that other's may have (unknowingly or knowingly) created 

  • Deeper connection to Self with a sense of Reclamation

  • Develop a sense of boundaries : knowing and understanding your own bodies' sense of yes and no

  • Ground yourself and your being in nature - in a non-judgmental, open and curious space

  • Feel more grounded, open, and clear at the conclusion of our time together

  • Feel into your own sense of freedom and connection to yourself and/or the spiritual world around you

Brooke Brasfield, LCSW and Jean Ricks-Ayer, LPC are seemingly kindred spirits, and are on very similar pathways–both are licensed mental health therapists, both Somatic Experiencing practitioners, both certified breathwork facilitators, and both Reiki Masters. As well, Brooke is a 200 Hour RYT Yoga Teacher and Pranic Healing practitioner, while Jean is also trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS). Both have a knack for seeing the world, creating a ripple effect of healing, and helping people connect to their truest, most authentic Self with love.
