On Month to Go

"Every retreat begins long before the plane lands — it begins the moment you decide to go."

One month from today, you'll be trading your to-do list for a paperback and a glass of wine. We can practically feel it.

You don't need to do anything yet except get yourself to Barcelona — we've handled the rest. But we know a little peace of mind goes a long way before a trip, so here's everything in one place: how to get to the villa, what to pack, what the week looks like, and two small traditions worth knowing about before you arrive.

Save this page. You'll probably want it again in the taxi line.

Your Words Matter to Us

If you have two minutes, we'd love your honest thoughts — it's how every retreat after this one gets a little better. And if you're willing to share the word more widely, it helps other women find their way to us too.

Every Photo From the Week

You took the pictures. Here's where they all live — yours, ours, and everyone else's from the group. Add anything you're still holding onto, and take whatever you'd like to keep.

Every Book We Talked About

Somewhere between breakfast and the pool, this list got long. Here's every title that came up this week — the ones we read together, and the ones someone insisted you write down.
