Rooted American Heritage Retreats
WOMEN’S RETREAT:
4 Nights MAY 3-7TH, 2027 at the historic Mayhurst Estate
Rooted is a four-night immersive Women's Retreat at the historic Mayhurst Estate—an invitation to step out of hurry and back into the life-giving patterns that once shaped strong homes, healthy families, and enduring marriages.
Here, you will slow down together.
You’ll learn the old ways—baking bread with freshly milled grains, milking goats and making fresh butter and cheese.
You will walk the gardens of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello or Colonial Williamsburg finding inspiration to use for your own kitchen garden planning or estate.
You will gather at the table with other kindred souls and share meaningful conversations, adventures, and unhurried meals—sacred moments woven into each day.
You will receive one on one mentorship from Jess Kelly through hands-on learning and gentle teaching. And you will leave not only rested—but re-rooted in purpose and peace.
This is not a retreat to escape your life.
It is a retreat to return to it—clearer, steadier, and more aligned with the way God designed home to be.
We cannot wait to welcome you into this intentional, beautiful slowing of time—
to walk the gardens, light the hearth, break bread together, and step into this sacred space with you.
Come, let's be rooted—together.
