Unplugged

An Anchored with Purpose Retreat for Women

Disconnect from the noise. Reconnect with what matters.

Saturday, October 24, 2026 | Hilltop - Adirondack Mountains, New York

What could happen if you unplugged for just one day?

This is your invitation to step away.

Unplugged is an intimate retreat for just 12 women, tucked away at a beautiful, completely off-grid property in the Adirondack Mountains. No Wi-Fi. No cell service. No pressure to be anywhere else.

When was the last time you had nowhere else to be?

No notifications demanding your attention. No one needing something from you. No pressure to move on to the next thing. Just enough quiet to slow down, breathe, and actually hear yourself think.

The Unplugged experience

Get Anchored

Arrive + Set Your Intention

Arrive, exhale, and settle in. We’ll begin by disconnecting from the noise, setting an intention for the day, and creating space to notice what you need most in this season.

Get

Quiet

Prayer + Reflection Walk

Step outside for a guided prayer and reflection walk through the Adirondacks, giving yourself space to slow down, listen, and reconnect with God without the usual distractions.

Look Within

Life Evaluation

Take an honest look at where you are right now through a guided Life Evaluation. You’ll notice what’s working, where you feel stretched or stuck, and which areas of your life may be asking for more attention.

Dream Again

Dream Work + Vision Boarding

Give yourself permission to dream again. Through guided reflection and vision boarding, you’ll reconnect with the dreams on your heart and begin imagining what could be possible in the season ahead.

Choose What Matters

Discern Your Priorities

Step back from everything competing for your attention and discern what matters most right now. You’ll identify the one to three priorities you want to intentionally focus on in the season ahead.

Map Your Next Move

90-Day Goal Mapping

Turn clarity into action. You’ll choose one meaningful 90-day goal, map out your first steps, and put them into your planner so you leave knowing exactly what to do next.

You'll leave unplugged...

Is Unplugged for You?

Unplugged was created for the woman who has a full life, but knows she’s ready for something more.

You’re tired of moving from one responsibility to the next without enough space to think about where you’re actually going.
You know something needs to shift, but you’re not completely sure what.
You want to feel closer to God and create enough quiet to actually listen.
You have dreams you’ve put on the back burner, or maybe you’ve forgotten how to dream altogether.
You’re craving clarity about what matters most in this season of your life.
You don’t just want to leave inspired. You want to leave knowing what to do next.

Why I created Unplugged

I know what it feels like to have a full life and still wonder if you’re giving enough attention to the things that matter most.

Some of the biggest shifts in my own life have happened when I’ve intentionally stepped away from the noise long enough to honestly look at where I am, dream about what could be possible, and ask God what He might be inviting me toward next.

I created Unplugged because I wanted to give other women that kind of space.

And when I started imagining what this retreat could be, I knew exactly where I wanted it to happen.

Hilltop belongs to one of my best friends, and I’ve been coming here for years. Every single time I arrive, I can physically feel the tension leave my shoulders. I breathe deeper. I slow down. I feel like I’m on vacation, even when I’m only here for the day.

There’s something about the mountains, the pond, the fireplace, the changing leaves, and yes, the complete lack of cell service and Wi-Fi, that makes it easier to quiet the noise and pay attention to what’s happening inside of you.

For the first time ever, Hilltop is being opened for an experience like this.

And I can’t think of a more perfect place to invite 12 women to step away from everything that normally demands their attention and create space to breathe, pray, reflect, dream, and listen.

My hope is that somewhere between arriving at Hilltop and heading home, you feel your own shoulders drop too.

And that you leave rested, reconnected, and more anchored in who you are, what matters most, and where God may be inviting you next.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Unplugged?

Unplugged will take place at Hilltop, a private off-grid property in the Adirondack Mountains near Gore Mountain, approximately one hour from the Glens Falls area. The exact address and arrival details will be provided to registered guests before the retreat.

What does “off-grid” mean?

Hilltop is truly off-grid. The property isn’t connected to the electrical grid and instead runs on a generator. There’s also no cell service or Wi-Fi, which gives us the rare opportunity to genuinely disconnect from the noise for the day.

And while your phone may not work, we won’t be completely unreachable. Hilltop has a landline available in case of an emergency.

How is faith incorporated into Unplugged?

Faith is naturally woven throughout the Unplugged experience through prayer, reflection, and opportunities to get quiet enough to listen for what God may be inviting you toward.

You don’t need to be in any particular place in your faith journey to attend. Come exactly where you are. This is a space to slow down, reconnect with what matters most, and create room for God to meet you there.

What food is included?

You’ll be well-fed throughout the day! We’ll start with coffee and a light breakfast as everyone arrives, followed by a catered lunch, snacks, drinks, and a few special treats throughout the day.

If you’re staying overnight, your experience will also include dinner together Saturday evening and breakfast Sunday morning.

After you register, we’ll ask about any dietary restrictions or food allergies so we can plan accordingly.

What is the cancellation policy?

Because Unplugged is an intimate retreat with very limited space and personalized materials prepared for each guest, all registrations are nonrefundable.

If you already registered and you’re unable to attend, please contact Melissa as soon as possible.

What is the overnight experience like?

For just six women, the Unplugged experience will continue after the Saturday retreat ends.

We’ll slow things down even more with dinner together at Hilltop, intimate fireside coaching, and a relaxed evening by the fire.

Sunday morning will be intentionally unhurried, with time to wake up slowly, enjoy a guided devotional and reflection, have breakfast together, and take one final opportunity to get anchored before heading home around 10:30 AM.

Sleeping accommodations at Hilltop are shared - two to a room, making the overnight experience cozy, intimate, and a little bit like the ultimate grown-up sleepover.

This is your day to unplug.

You spend so much of your life showing up for everyone and everything around you.

This is your invitation to step away from the noise for a day. To breathe a little deeper. To listen. To dream again. To reconnect with yourself, with God, and with what matters most.
