Experiencing Rest and Joy in Maryland
June 5-7, 2026
Imagine a weekend focused on YOU...
...where you are removed from the noise of the world and your typical responsibilities. This weekend will be filled with time to be in community and with yourself, if a quieter time is what you desire. We will welcome each day with a We Rise gentle stretch where we will stretch our bodies, relieve tension, relax, clear our heads and breathe. We will then enjoy relaxing, nourishing breakfasts together where the conversation will be light and perhaps, new relationships will be formed. You'll have time to treat yourself to spa services, walk in nature, lay out at the pool, journal, read or something else! We will reconnect for afternoon snacks and close the day with a delectable, curated dinner.
You'll depart feeling restored, rested, joy filled and taken care of!

You labor. You deserve to rest.
Think about being in a lovely manor home located on several acres of plush grass tucked away in Maryland. In a short walk from the Manor and also on the property, you will be met by an outdoor pool and serenity spa; both awaiting you to experience!
The Manor has been renovated to reflect a contemporary feel and the walls are covered with beautiful artwork. In fact, the Manor could be an art gallery!
The Manor was chosen to host The Stretch Room® retreat because of it's quaintness, beautiful decor, wonderful amenities and ability to allow the guests to explore, nestle, move and be unencumbered as much as each wishes.

To add to our weekend of escape and pampering, we will eat delectable, signature meals prepared by an onsite Chef. The meals will be made specifically for The Stretch Room® retreat guests, including private dinners., and will be chockful of flavor, nourishment and delight. The onsite Chef will accommodate for specific dietary needs or preferences. that will be collected from you before you arrive at the property to ensure that you can enjoy each meal.
And, you'll lay your pretty head in a bed in one of the contemporary, private luxury suites that include bathroom escapes. Each suite is distinctive in its own right, but they all offer immense comfort for the rest you will get this weekend!
