By Shannon Jamail Let’s talk about something that’s not just a trend- it’s a tidal wave. Women. Are. Retreating. And I don’t mean running away from life (although let’s be honest, sometimes that’s the fantasy). I mean women are seeking out intentional space, packing their bags, and heading to women’s stress reduction wellness retreats in record…
