Wildflower Wishes Retreat
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2025 9:30am – 5:30pm
(Yes! There’s no school this day!)
A day of intention-setting, meaningful connections, and unforgettable moments–because your bond is worth celebrating!
For mothers and daughters alike, the tween and early teen years can be magical and mysterious. Fast and fleeting. Wild and wonderful. The rituals, patterns, and habits established during this period can last a lifetime.
This exclusive Melissa Bloom retreat is designed to help you both navigate and embrace this special time together. You will gain the tools to deepen your bond while making space for laughter, dreams, and JOY.
What to expect at the Wildflower Wishes Retreat
🌸 Enjoy a warm, nurturing, and safe space for you and your daughter to begin answering questions like ‘What do you want more of in your life?’
🌸 Set your vision with no-pressure journaling. This is a time to dream BIG – to feel like anything is possible for both you and your daughter.
🌸 Enjoy lunch (and snacks!) that will nourish and delight. All food is gluten and dairy free. You will have a chance on the registration page to mention any other dietary preferences.
🌸 Plant seeds for the future with inspired pot-painting.
🌸 Find JOY and laughter with a dance party.
🌸 Celebrate with a parting ceremony (bonfire and s’mores!) that will spark JOY and help kindle your intentions to life!

Frequently Asked Questions!
🌱 How large is the group at the Wildflower Wishes Retreat?
This retreat can only accommodate 6 mother/daughter pairs (and a few extra siblings or friends). The group is meant to be small so we can really connect and get to know each other.
🌱 Can my daughter bring a friend?
Absolutely! There is a spot on the registration page to indicate a sibling or a friend. Friends are definitely welcome!
🌱 Can only mothers and daughters attend?
No! I use the description mothers and daughters, but you can bring a niece, a good friend’s daughter, etc. You don’t have to be blood related to be family!
🌱 My daughter is a bit on the quiet side – will she be forced to share if she’s uncomfortable?
Neither you nor your daughter will have to share if uncomfortable. I’ve led many retreats before – some folks are comfortable sharing and some aren’t. In fact, one of the greatest gifts we can give each other is listening.
🌱 I would love to attend a retreat with my daughter, but this date doesn’t work for me. Will you hold future retreats?
Yes! Click here to be ‘in the know’ about future retreats!
A bit about me
Hi! I’m Melissa. I want you to feel both comfortable and excited about what this day will bring. To help us get acquainted, I’ll share a bit about myself, but please feel free to ask me any questions. I’m always happy to hop on a quick call so we can get to know each other before you attend.
Just like you, I wear lots of hats! I am a mom to three teenage boys. At home, I’m the chef, baker, laundress, chauffeur, travel agent, medic, and general concierge.
In terms of paid work, I also wear a lot of hats. In general, I work primarily with women to help them find more joy in their lives. It’s an awesome job! I lead women-only, three-day retreats several times a year (also at the Inn at Twin Linden – basically my favorite place!). I wrote a book (I kind of can’t believe I did) several years ago called The Path to Joy and I have a twice-a-week podcast also named The Path to Joy with over two hundred episodes! AND I founded an awesome community called JOY SCHOOL.
I LOVE the work I do. I truly believe that we can create anything in our lives. What I love most about in-person retreats – besides the community, the laughing, the joyful crying – is that women leave feeling like so much more is possible in their lives. And that is powerful.
I want that feeling not only for YOU but for your daughters too!
