Glaciers to Grapevines
A Women's Fall Retreat in the Dolomites
5 Days / 4 Nights | Very Limited Rooms
A Retreat for Women Craving Quiet, Connection & Space to Breathe
This retreat is for the woman who doesn't need more stimulation. She needs stillness. She needs nature. She needs space to exhale, soften, and come back to herself.
If your days have been loud…
If your nervous system feels tired…
If you've been craving intentional downtime, meaningful connection, and quiet moments in nature—this retreat was created for you.
Set in the Northern Italian mountains near the Austrian border, Glaciers to Grapevines is a five- day alpine retreat designed to help you regroup, restore, and reconnect—without rushing, without pressure, and without having to hold everything together.
This isn't just a getaway.
It's a soft landing. A reset. A remembering of who you are beneath the doing.
The Retreat Setting
Why This Hotel Is So Special
This retreat is hosted at a rare, organic alpine wellness hotel—a place I personally chose after staying here for my own private retreat. This is not just where we sleep. This place is part of the healing. The entire property is intentionally designed to support deep rest and nervous-system regulation through its materials, environment, and philosophy.

A Transformational Addition
Featuring Jennie Potter
This retreat is elevated even further by the presence of Jennie Potter, two-time bestselling author of Self-Sabotage No More, motivational speaker, and emotional recalibration coach.
Jennie is known for helping women gently release hidden emotional patterns and subconscious blocks that quietly affect areas such as confidence, self-trust, relationships, career growth, and overall wellbeing.
Her work is calm, grounded, and body-based—supporting the nervous system in releasing emotional weight without reliving old stories or forcing breakthroughs.
Women often describe the experience as:
a quieter mind
a softer body
a deep internal exhale
emotional lightness and clarity
Paired with the stillness of the Dolomites, organic nourishment, spa time, and intentional space, Jennie's work lands deeply— allowing guests to leave not only rested, but lighter, clearer, and unblocked.
Professional Photography
You don't have to document a thing. Krystal C Photography will be with us throughout the retreat, quietly capturing candid, meaningful moments so you can fully unplug and be present.
This is a rare and special inclusion—and one of the many ways this retreat stands apart.
Formal Dinner Night
One evening will be a formal dinner night—a chance to dress up, feel radiant, and celebrate yourself in a stunning alpine setting. Think connection, laughter, and memories you'll carry home with you.

Why Fall in the Dolomites?
Because autumn here is quiet magic—golden forests, crisp air, peaceful trails, fewer
crowds, and nature at its most grounding.
This retreat is for women who:
Crave quiet and connection
Need intentional downtime in nature
Want to slow down on purpose
Value sisterhood and meaningful conversation
Are ready to feel like themselves again
Limited rooms. Once it's full, it's full.
