We created the kind of retreats we couldn’t find ourselves

Heartventures began from a shared belief that women need spaces to feel deeply connected- to themselves, to others, and to the experience of being fully alive.

Somewhere along the way, we realized how many women were quietly craving the same things we were:

More adventure.
More depth.
More honesty.
More feeling alive inside our own lives.

We wanted spaces where women could exhale. Where conversations went deeper than surface level. Where movement, beauty, creativity, and connection all existed together.

So we started creating them.

All heart, the ever protective mama bear, Krista brings her whole self to gatherings. With a background in coaching, movement, nutrition, and group facilitation, she creates spaces where women feel deeply seen, supported, and able to fully be themselves.
