Bring your rake, shovel, and gloves to give back to the magical land we sit on. We’ll be cleaning up and participating in some fire prevention around the property. All ages welcome and encouraged to join!

Potluck to Follow! 🌭
After lending a hand, we’ll be gathering for a potluck at the lodge. Bring a dish to share and join us!

Bonfire to Wrap Up the Night! 🔥
As the evening winds down, we’ll gather at the community fire pit in the meadow and wrap up the day with a cozy bonfire.

We are beyond grateful for the continued love and support from our Mill Creek friends. Let’s come together to care for this special place! 💚

Looking forward to seeing you there!

This Mother’s Day, we’re gathering to celebrate mothers and the families who love them 💐

We’re so excited to invite you to Mama Retreat: A Mother’s Day Weekend — a nourishing, family-welcoming weekend designed to honor motherhood in all its forms. This is a space where mamas are cared for, kiddos are included, and partners and families are invited to be part of the magic.

What to Expect
Throughout the weekend, mamas will have opportunities to rest, recharge, and receive care through:

  • Restorative yoga + gentle movement

  • Facials and massage offerings

  • A nourishing local brunch at Highlands Ranch Resort

  • Quiet moments to breathe, sip, and soften

Families are warmly welcome to join in, with offerings designed to support shared experiences and connection:

  • Mama & Minis Yoga — playful, grounding movement for mamas and littles

  • Mama & Minis Craft Time — sweet, hands-on creating together

  • Space for families to relax, explore, and enjoy time in the mountains

Whether you come solo, with your kids, or with your whole family, there will be room for you here.

Who This Is For

  • Mamas in every season of motherhood

  • Families wanting to celebrate Mother’s Day together

  • Partners looking to support and honor the mama in their lives

  • Anyone craving community, care, and a more intentional Mother’s Day

Come exactly as you are — with your people.

Location & Timing
Mill Creek Resort
Mother’s Day Weekend May 8-10th
(Full schedule + booking details coming soon)

This retreat is meant to feel welcoming, grounding, and spacious — a Mother’s Day where care is shared, joy is collective, and no one is left out.

We can’t wait to gather with you and your family.
