This is actually exactly why we're offering a "Choose your own price" option, so that the women who don't feel comfortable buying something for themselves can still participate.

An experience like this looks like it might be indulgent or self-serving on the outside, but what you learn and practice in this experience will infuse your home and family (and surrounding community) with an added measure of light. This is not selfish in the slightest.

When we say "young and young-at-heart," we mean any girl/woman age 11 and up. Younger guests may participate with a parent or older sibling, but the content is especially geared toward teens and older. More importantly than your age, we just need to know that you want to show up brighter and braver. If so, you are welcome to participate.


Note: Group calls will be recorded to share as replays within our private community, so you're welcome to be off-camera if you so choose.

No, but we will talk about Jesus in a universal Gospel context, because He is the best example we have of living a bright and brave life, closely connected with the Spirit. We are also not shy about talking about divine identity and the spiritual power that comes through connecting with God. Beyond that, we leave it up to you to interpret and apply as you will from your particular belief system.

In full disclosure, my faith is rooted in the teachings of the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, supported by my active membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. While you and I may worship in different buildings, I welcome participants from all light-filled belief systems, as there are so many beautiful universal truths that we share as children of God and so much we can learn from each other.

You'll receive a username and password for Amara Falls (I call it your resort key) on Monday, March 9. With that login information, you will have full access to the entire resort -- both through this experience and beyond so that you'll be able to practice and continue using the facilities.

And yes. It is intentionally designed to use principles of psychology and neuroscience to serve as a place of rest and relaxation for your mind so your heart has room to feel what you're learning instead of simply understanding at a cognitive level. 

By learning in this environment, you can also more easily return to the spaces where you learned these principles, making it easier to recall and tie back to the learning. This makes the experience so much deeper and richer.

Yes, and this is SUCH a powerful way to bond! The registration fee covers you and anyone in your household (you'll just need to share a login). Beyond that, we ask that each additional household purchase access separately.

Custom group packages available for families, friend groups, online communities, or corporate teams.

Second only to building the resort, choosing the meeting time was the hardest part of designing this experience -- because I knew there would never be a time that would work for everyone! 

Attendance is definitely not mandatory, and a recording of every weekly call will be posted shortly after each meeting so you won't miss a beat.

It's up to you.

Our group calls will have some interactive discussion as we learn together, but none of it will be required. We will also have a community discussion board for those who want further conversation and connection, to which posting is encouraged but completely optional.

It sure is :) Just click the sign up link as you normally would, then use the "Give as a gift" option at checkout.

Yes you can, and the connection this will generate will be remarkable. Click here to contact us, and we'll be in touch to put a custom package together for you.

Note: We also offer private cohorts for family groups and community circles. Send us a note using the contact form to start the conversation about designing a custom experience for your tribe.

Yes. We will have many more future retreats, hosted by Shalon and other topic-specific thought leaders.

This particular 6-week experience will happen each Easter season. There will be plenty of others that follow a similar format, just with a slightly different seasonal focus. Each retreat experience is different because of the unique blend of participants who join. There are fresh perspectives and insights with every group.

If now is not a good time for you to participate, be sure to follow Shalon on Instagram and join her invitation list so you can receive all updates and future retreat announcements.

Bright & Brave was designed for women and teenage girls with busy lives. This is a low-pressure experience that should actually alleviate some of the stress and give you more support for handling all of the moving parts and competing priorities.
