Francie’s Annual Wild Heart Retreat
With Francie S. Richards
March 5 - 8, 2026
If you were truly brave and free, what would your wild heart do?
This is the power-house question that led me away from corporate America to the land of entrepreneurship and “everything is figureoutable”; to the revival of the historic South Shore Resort as a retreat center; and to the establishment of Wild Heart Retreats and our nonprofit partner, Dharma Collaborative.
Yep. That question was a doozy.
What burns at the end of that question for you?
Come retreat with me where we will listen for the answer.
At a signature Wild Heart Retreat, we do what our wild hearts wish: we will sleep in luxurious beds with no alarms, we will laugh until we can’t and we’ll eat well and often. We’ll take in nature at our lakeside retreat and have time for reflection through yoga, a cacao ceremony and some guided meditation and journaling. We’ll grab a robe and indulge in the outdoor sauna and hot tub no matter the temperature getting there! We’ll rest, reconnect with ourselves and make new connections with others. We will have joy and get ever closer to the the answer to Mary Oliver’s question: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
Join us!
