5th annual lake keowee glōw up retreat
July 31 - August 3rd 2026
Testimonial:
“The Lake Keowee Glōw Up Retreat was such an incredible soul-filling experience! I didn’t have any expectations going in but I sometimes struggle in groups of women (feeling less than) & I’ve had social anxiety in larger groups, but oh my goodness…the raw & real connection broke my heart open! It was just so so so beautiful & wonderful & the whole time I just could not stop feeling so much awe of every single woman there & what they’ve accomplished & their journey & power & confidence. It was super expansive. It was the perfect balance of movement & stillness, contemplation & connection. The food was a joygasm with every bite. When I left, I tuned into my body & I felt a little bit of an empty & sad feeling because that type of energy - that I felt all weekend - I want to be in it all the time! It was just so great. I got so many takeaways. And bonus: I’m back in my light & tapped into my creativity & intuition again! It was just so valuable & I can’t thank you enough.” - Alisa Turner

Join us for a soul-nourishing getaway in beautiful Lake Keowee—where nature, movement, wellness, incredible food and meaningful connection will remind you who you are and just how good life gets to feel.
This retreat is for the woman who’s been giving to everyone else—but knows it’s time to come home to herself. It’s for the glōw-getter who’s ready to unplug from the daily grind, reconnect with her body, and remember her power. It’s for you—if you’ve been craving a reset, a soul recharge, and a space to just be.
I created this retreat to bring the magic of the Glōw Up app to life — think: wellness, mindset, movement, nourishing food, alcohol-free & conscious living all woven together in a weekend designed just for you.
Come live the Glōw Up lifestyle in real time, surrounded by a sisterhood of like-hearted women. You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, radiant, and fully lit up from the inside out. ✨

CONNECTION + COMMUNITY
At the heart of this women’s yoga retreat is connection and community. In a world that often feels fast-paced & disconnected, this retreat offers a sacred space to slow down, be seen, & truly connect—with yourself, your body, nature, & a powerful group of like-hearted women. Sure, the yoga, sunshine, & fresh mountain air are amazing—but it's the belly laughs, the heartfelt chats & the new soul-sisters that make it unforgettable. Through shared experiences, movement, & meaningful conversation, we remember that we’re not meant to do life alone—we thrive in community.

“It is hard to find the words to explain my experience at Cortney‘s Yoga Retreat. It was truly the best weekend of my life. I discovered exactly who I am and exactly who I want to be. I found my soul tribe, my sisters, the women…who positively challenge me to be the best version of myself. This experience was way better than anything I ever could have imagined.
