our story
The Retreat Co creates seasonal retreats, community events, and work retreats that bring women together through nature, movement, and meaningful connection.
I’m Charlotte—adventure lover, community builder, and the founder of The Retreat Co.
For most of my adult life, I was living a double life: corporate tech leader by day, retreat planner by weekend. I spent over 15 years in fast-paced startup roles before taking the leap and turning my side hustle into my full-time passion.
I started The Ski Retreat in 2018 after organizing countless girls' ski trips and realizing how rare (and special) it was for women to come together outdoors without pressure or pretense. Since then, it's grown into The Retreat Co, offering ski retreats, summer camp retreats, corporate retreats, and community events—all designed to bring women together.
I live in Lake Tahoe, where I host many of our retreats, and still get giddy when it snows. When I’m not planning events, you’ll find me skiing, attempting to mountain bike, dabbling in creative projects, or hanging with my husband and our adventure pups.
what we believe
the more you fall ,
the more you learn
women are dynamic and never meant to fit in one box
say yes to yourself and things that might seem scary
community is built,
not found
nature is a catalyst for clarity, growth, and connection
