A life retreat for women who happen to be widows.
There is something incredibly powerful about being surrounded by women who just get it — women who understand the contradictions of widowhood. Missing him while moving forward. Carrying heartbreak while finding hope. Grieving what was while discovering who you are now. And yes, laughing, having fun, and embracing the life that's still yours to live.
At every It's Lifey retreat, women arrive as strangers and leave connected — with new friendships, group chats, and women they can turn to long after the retreat ends.
This winter, we're bringing that magic to the Hudson Valley — January 15–18, 2027 — with a little more luxury, pampering, adventure, and fun.
Your winter escape
Three luxurious nights on 100 private acres
A small group of widows will escape together for three luxurious nights on a breathtaking 100-acre private property near New York's Hudson Valley.
Think of gorgeous accommodations. A private chef. A full day of spa and pampering. A guided winter adventure. Fireside conversations. Beautiful meals. Cozy mornings. Late-night laughter.
And perhaps most importantly, time together.
- Time to talk about the hard stuff — or not talk about it at all.
- Time to laugh without guilt.
- Time to try something new.
- Time to be taken care of.
- Time to remember that life can still surprise you in really beautiful ways.
This isn't a retreat where you'll spend three days sitting around talking about grief. It's a life retreat for women who happen to be widows.
There is always room for grief here. But there's just as much room for friendship, adventure, laughter, rest, beauty and joy.
What's waiting for you
Your winter escape includes
Luxury, pampering, adventure, and unhurried time with women who understand without explanation.
Your Own Private Chef
Beautiful meals prepared especially for us — because some of the best connections happen gathered around a table with great food and nowhere else to be.
A Day of Spa & Pampering
A day devoted entirely to you. Spa treatments, relaxation, soaking, unwinding and the rare luxury of letting someone else take care of you.
A Guided Winter Adventure
We'll bundle up for a specially curated, low-impact outdoor experience designed for beauty, fun, bonding and maybe stepping just a tiny bit outside our comfort zones — together.
Cozy Winter Moments
Warm drinks. Soft blankets. Fireside conversations. Quiet mornings. Late-night laughter. And plenty of unscheduled time to simply hang out and connect.
Come for the house, the chef, the spa — stay for the women.

Why this matters
Maybe you need this more than you realize
Widowhood can be incredibly lonely — even when you're surrounded by people who love you.
There is a different kind of comfort that comes from being with women who understand without explanation.
So come for the beautiful house, the chef, the spa, the adventure and the chance to escape winter for a few days. But come mostly for the women you'll meet there.
Because long after the retreat ends, that's the part you may treasure most.
