North Cascades Immersion
Winthrop, Washington
June 23 - 29, 2026
A retreat for women who want uninterrupted time to explore change and define what comes next.
Intentionally set in the North Cascades.
Our retreat offers time, space, and thoughtful support to step away from the day-to-day and focus on what’s next. The pace is unhurried. The group is intentionally small. Facilitation and coaching are present and lightly guided.
You are aligned with this immersion.
This is the perfect retreat immersion for you if you’re a woman sensing change and want time and support to explore what’s next. You want small group engagement, an unhurried pace, and professional facilitation that is present but light. You want a clear framework to identify insights and tools to explore options. You want to depart with a grounded sense of direction, accountability, and continued support.
The Salt+Grit experience.
Jennifer, founder of Salt+Grit, guides the experience with care and presence, meeting guests where they are in both their personal and professional lives. Her approach combines empathy with clear thinking, challenging questions, and structured reflection. She earned a MS in Strategic Design and Global Leadership and holds certifications in Outsmarting Implicit Bias and Leader as Coach. The entire Salt+Grit team is highly credentialed while embodying a gentle, empathetic approach supporting our guests.

Research provides strong scientific evidence that natural environments regulate nervous systems, reduce cortisol levels, increase creativity, and increase tolerance for uncertainty.
