About the event
Trade the chaos of everyday life for five days of peace, connection, and transformation. Each morning begins with grounding yoga and meditation on this peaceful 10-acre Ocala farm, followed by soul-nourishing adventures to Florida’s most breathtaking natural springs, including Rainbow Springs and Silver springs.
Experience the beauty of the manatee migration on a glass-bottom boat tour through Silver Springs, kayak the crystal waters of Rainbow Springs, and take a mindful walk through Florida's waterfalls. Ride horseback through the canyons, release what no longer serves you in intimate women’s circles, and reset your nervous system through individual sound healing sessions.
Between each experience, you will enjoy vibrant, soul nourishing meals made with fresh, wholesome ingredients thoughtfully crafted to nourish your body as deeply as your soul. Our guided Soul Path workshops help you gain clarity on what you want to call in for the year ahead so you return home renewed, re-centered and ready to step fully into your next chapter.
✨ Spaces are limited for this intimate New Year experience. Join us to begin your year feeling lighter, clearer and deeply connected to yourself and other like-hearted women.
The Space
Escape to ten serene acres in Ocala’s horse country, where rolling pastures, fresh air, and gentle sounds of nature set the stage for a soulful New Year retreat. Our private farm stay invites you to gather in spacious, open-concept living areas, lounge by the sparkling pool, and feel fully at ease in your cozy, thoughtfully designed rooms.
Each day begins with grounding morning yoga and meditation, followed by nourishing plant-based meals. Connect deeply with yourself and others in heart-opening women’s circles and fire-side chats under the stars. Explore the scenic countryside on horseback, winding through canyon trails and open fields, and engage in joyful spring hopping to awaken movement, play, and creativity.
This retreat is designed to reset, realign, and set intentions for the year ahead. Through guided soul path mapping workshops, you’ll clarify your goals, release what no longer serves you, and step into a year of possibility, purpose and positive transformation. Every moment blends reflection, movement, and connection, giving you space to slow down, recharge, and return to yourself with clarity and inspiration.

Meet Your Hosts
Kaileen & Kathy
Mother-Daughter Duo | Founders of SoulFriend Retreats
Hello, beautiful souls, and welcome. We’re Kaileen and Kathy—a mother and daughter duo brought even closer through loss, love, and the healing power of nature.
Our journey began after the sudden passing of our beloved brother and son. In the midst of heartbreak, we found ourselves craving connection, solace, and something deeper. So we packed our bags and took to the road—driving up the East Coast, chasing sunsets, hiking sacred trails, and meditating by the water. Nature held us in our grief and began to gently piece us back together.
That healing journey awakened something powerful in both of us—a shared purpose to help other women rediscover themselves, just as we had.
Kaileen is deeply passionate about connection, creativity, and supporting women on their healing journeys. What started as her own path through grief has grown into a quiet calling—curating retreats where women can slow down, reconnect, and feel held. She also pours love into the behind-the-scenes details, from planning and design to creating a welcoming, thoughtful experience for every guest.
Kathy brings a calm, nurturing energy to each retreat. She offers gentle sound healing sessions to help women feel grounded and at ease, and works closely with Kaileen to plan and coordinate every element of the retreat. Her care shows up in the little things—making sure everything flows smoothly so you can fully relax and receive.
Together, as certified women’s circle facilitators, we feel honored to hold space for others. These retreats aren’t just getaways—they’re heartfelt invitations to come home to yourself.
Together, we blend generations of love, loss, and resilience to create retreats that are more than getaways—they're soul homes.
We created SoulFriend Retreats to hold space for women to reconnect with their inner truth, feel deeply supported, and experience the healing magic of sisterhood and the natural world.
Our deepest hope is that you’ll arrive as you are—and leave more you than ever before. Held, seen, loved, and reminded of just how powerful your spirit truly is.
Grief was the portal that led us here. It stripped away the noise and brought us into alignment with our purpose: to hold space for other women, to create healing experiences rooted in love and authenticity, and to build soulful community and help other women find their Soul Friends.
We’re so honored to walk this path with you.
With love,
Kaileen & Kathy 🤍

Meet Erin, Our Retreat Yogi
As a yoga instructor, my work goes far beyond guiding bodies into poses—yoga, for me, is a way of life and a path toward peace. I believe that the practice of yoga teaches us one of life’s most powerful truths: we are the creators of our thoughts, and our thoughts shape the actions that define our lives. In every class I teach, I intertwine mindful movement with words to live by—reminders to breathe deeply, think clearly, and act with intention.
Through yoga, we learn to find gratitude in each day, even when it feels elusive. We learn to soften the noise of the world and return to clarity and calm through the breath. My classes are not just physical—they are a sacred space for inner alignment and soulful reflection.
I’m grateful to share this practice with hundreds each week in Sarasota, Florida, and even more grateful for the deeper, more personal connections fostered through offerings like Soul Friends Retreats. My mission is simple but heartfelt: to make a meaningful difference in the lives of women, and to embody the change I wish to see in the world.
With gratitude,
Erin
