“This retreat was so much more than I ever expected — truly a transformative and healing experience. Amy and Debbie created something magical. They gave us space to not only learn new tools and explore deep healing, but also to rest, to play, and to reconnect with joy. I walked away feeling deeply seen, heard, and held. I gained meaningful friendships, core memories, and solid skills to support my heart and continue my healing journey. Whether you come alone, with a friend, or with a group, you’ll find a space that meets you exactly where you are. I left with a full heart, a clearer mind, and a renewed sense of self. I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone looking to reconnect, reset, and remember the strength and beauty within themselves.”

”Tessie Pearl retreats are life changing. It is not just a retreat of lectures, rather it is learning through circle interactions, meditations, exploration, creativity, fun, letting go, laughter, friendships, and a coming to yourself, with memories made for a lifetime and tools to keep your success going. I healed in ways I never expected and had fun doing it.”

“You’ll enjoy meeting and making new friends, being in a beautiful place, learning and doing new things, being taken out of your comfort zone, being vulnerable, being spoiled, being playful, having a little ‘me’ time, and returning with a full bucket. I’d tell future participants that maybe they are worth it too!”

”I experienced so many aha moments and learned things I didn’t know about myself.”

“Attending the Tessie Pearl retreat was one of the best things I’ve done for myself. I was able to open up in a safe place with wonderful women who didn’t judge me or make me feel inadequate. The itinerary and activities flowed perfectly and allowed me to work on myself bit by bit, as I learned a little more with each activity or discussion. I had several awakenings about myself and what I would like to do to become all I want to be and it filled me with hope and excitement for what the future will bring.”

”Amy is a wise and clear teacher, who created safety for us to be vulnerable so well. She knows her stuff and can explain simply and succinctly. I felt supported and cared for by both Amy and Debbie.”

”As women, we don’t take nearly enough time for ourselves — and this retreat reminded me just how important that space is. Being in nature, setting intentions, and connecting with other women helped me tune into myself in a deeper way. Emotions surfaced, and instead of pushing them away, I softened and listened. The experience felt like a true recalibration of mind, body, and spirit. Grateful I went and let myself experience this.”

”I went on a retreat with Tessie Pearl and it was truly unforgettable. These women are incredible — they made sure every detail was taken care of, allowing us to fully relax and receive. It was the perfect blend of deep healing, joyful fun, and genuine sisterhood. I walked away feeling renewed, seen, and supported.”

”Taking time away from regular life to slow down and experience new things in a fun and playful way is really healing and essential. Connecting with new people in vulnerable ways builds our capacity and is so rejuvenating. I feel calm and regulated and rested in a new way. Thank you!”

I am thrilled about the… Tessie Pearl Program. I have been so impressed by Debbie's dedication and deep understanding of the unique challenges widows face. Her compassionate approach combines financial support with the emotional expertise these women need to rebuild their futures. I have no doubt that Debbie’s program will be an invaluable resource for anyone in need of guidance and care during such a challenging period.
