Set in St. Augustine, this women’s retreat invites a pause from the accumulated weight of roles, expectations, and old stories. Designed as an experiment rather than a typical beach getaway, spa weekend, or motivational escape, it explores what unfolds when urgency eases, meals are simple and intentional, movement is guided by desire, warmth softens resistance, wandering has no agenda, and conversation drifts without performance. Mornings bring yoga on the beach at sunrise and later sessions of gentle heat that relax rather than push. The Lightness Lab offers guided reflection on the burdens once agreed to carry. Between sessions, expect crafted alcohol-free cocktails, herb-focused learning, charcuterie under open sky, the calm glow of a bonfire, and stretches of quiet long enough to hear your own thoughts again. It is created for women who feel stuck on autopilot and want fresh air in their lungs, sensation back in the body, and a mind that feels more spacious. The aim is not reinvention, but less... less noise, less rushing, less heaviness, and a chance to remember that life can feel buoyant. Arrive with curiosity and leave with understanding.

The live race starts and finishes in Downtown Roswell. Every participant receives a turkey-themed giveaway and a soft tri-blend long sleeve shirt. The event is stroller friendly for all ages to enjoy, and pets are not permitted. Participation is limited. Early packet pickup is mandatory, and runners may collect packets for friends and family. If early pickup is not possible, there are two alternatives for a small fee: have the race number mailed in advance with the shirt and gift collected on race day, or use a race day pickup option. To receive a bib, bring the registration confirmation with the barcode visible, either printed or on a phone or in Apple Wallet; having confirmations for each person makes group pickup easier.
