Our weekend home is the Inn on Turville Creek, a quiet waterfront hideaway on the edge of Berlin, Maryland that balances luxury, eclectic charm, and a peaceful nature escape. The property has a Main House - a modern coastal farmhouse with cozy gathering spaces, a communal kitchen, and a grassy yard with firepit - complemented by adorable cottages with individual kitchenettes and waterfront porches.

As a group, we’ll gather in the Main House or around the firepit. For breakout sessions or individual reflection, participants will have access to the whole property - stargazing on the docks, sipping morning coffee waterside, or journaling at the picnic tables underneath looming evergreens. Our first morning together we’ll venture to nearby Assateague Island for an immersive sunrise ceremony along the stunning shoreline. From salty ocean air, to swaying marsh grasses, expansive evergreens, and the murmuring creek - you’ll find an exhale, and a reset.

Participants can select between a cozy bedroom in the Main House, or a charming cottage stay.

A glimpse into the weekend…

Friday: Arrive

Enjoy welcome drinks and charcuterie as you arrive and settle into the experience. Make new friends, explore the property, and relax into your first sunset across Turville Creek as we fire up the grill for a late night dinner, and gently shift into our first workshop, exploring identity and core values.
Saturday: Awaken

Bundle into your coziest clothes for a pre-dawn ceremony on the beach at Assateague Island, warmed by a blazing bonfire. Back at the property we’ll dive into coaching frameworks and introspective workshops to help identify inner blocks and clarify priorities. Plus you’ll have time for your private 1:1 coaching session. End the day with a luxurious candlelit dinner prepared by our private chef and signature cocktails and mocktails.
Sunday: Renew

Follow your body’s natural rhythm towards guided meditation on the dock, or a restorative morning of rest before enjoying a made-to-order chef’s brunch. Integrate weekend insights in our final workshop, and depart feeling lighter, more connected to your intuition, and ready to lead with renewed calm, courage, and conviction.

A note from your guides…

Hello and welcome — we’re so glad you’re here.

We’re Sofia and Corinne: friends, collaborators, and fellow travelers on this winding, courageous path of leadership. We met on the first day of our coach training at Georgetown’s Institute for Transformational Leadership and something just clicked — shared values, curiosity, a commitment to living with integrity and depth. Since then, we’ve continued to witness each other through big decisions, big risks, and the messy middle of growth.

When Sofia stepped away from a salaried leadership role to build a business rooted in creativity and purpose, Corinne was on the sidelines cheering her forward. And when federal workforce cuts forced Corinne into a season of uncertainty, Sofia was part of the steady community reminding her that leadership doesn’t end when the ground shifts — it evolves. This retreat is born out of that kind of care, clarity, and shared courage.

We’re inviting you into our friendship and our professional chemistry — the kind that makes space for depth and laughter, seriousness and play, reflection and joy. Over the weekend, we’ll build a community that is honest, brave, nourishing, and real. Together, we’ll slow down, listen inward, reconnect to vision, and remember the strength that comes from being witnessed and supported.

We believe deeply that the world needs your voice — not a polished or perfect one, but the one rooted in your truth. If you’re feeling the pull, we’d love to have you with us.

Warmly,
Sofia & Corinne

Why A Coaching Retreat?

Restore to Rise is more than a wellness retreat. Rest, reflection, time in nature, nourishing meals, and yoga are all part of the experience—but they create the space for something deeper: meaningful, guided work around who you are, where you’re headed, and what matters most.

Through dedicated 1:1 coaching and group workshops, you’ll have the time and support to step back from the demands of everyday life, gain perspective, and turn insight into action. You’ll leave not only restored, but with a clearer sense of purpose and practical steps for what comes next.

And the work doesn’t end when the weekend does. A follow-up coaching session gives you space to integrate what you discovered, navigate what emerges, and keep moving forward.
