Pines and Soul - Wildflower Weekend in Hood River, Oregon - May 2026
A Wildflower Weekend in the Pacific Northwest to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and bloom in your own timing.
Join us in May of 2026 for a heart-expanding weekend in the Pacific Northwest as the wildflowers return and the whole landscape begins to come alive again. The Pines and Soul Wildflower Retreat is designed for women who crave connection, adventure, and a little bit of that magic that happens when you finally give yourself time to breathe. During our Wildflower Retreat, you can expect a beautiful blend of outdoor adventures, self-growth conversations, and soul-nourishing community moments.
Because in the Spring time, the area around Hood River and the Columbia Gorge wakes up from the Winter in the most magical way. Hils are covered in wildflowers, there is that crisp morning air, sunshine warming the trails and that great feeling of new beginnings.
The wildflowers teach us what it looks like to bloom without rushing, to take up space and to grow in our own timing. This retreat was born from that feeling, that you, too, get to bloom again.
