Highlights

  • Oceanfront Myrtle Beach retreat with quiet, comfortable condos, sunrise views, and direct beach access designed for deep rest and renewal.

Details

Your home for the weekend is a beautifully appointed set of three oceanfront condos in Myrtle Beach, selected for their comfort, quiet, and breathtaking sunrise views. Each condo sits just steps from the sand, so you’re never more than a few moments away from the shoreline or the steady sound of the waves. The wide, open beach here has a grounding quality that helps you settle quickly into rest and presence, and the soft morning light over the Atlantic creates a natural sense of possibility each day. Retreat activities take place within the condos themselves, using shared living areas, cozy nooks, and outdoor spaces that make it easy to stay fully immersed without needing to travel once you arrive. Between sessions, you’ll have access to peaceful common areas, quiet corners for reflection, and plenty of space to walk the beach or wander the property at your own pace. Just a short stroll away, you’ll find a beautiful swash where the marsh meets the sea, offering a serene place to pause and take in the landscape. A nearby pier extends into the ocean and provides fantastic views, especially at sunrise and sunset. The combination of luxurious accommodations, direct beach access, and the natural beauty surrounding the condos creates an environment that supports deep rest, clarity, and reconnection.

This retreat was absolutely life-changing. Heather was amazing from start to finish. Absolutely amazing experience

Karoline, USA

I needed a break from my regular routine. It was close enough for me to drive to and allowed me to spend time on myself. I gained strategies for dealing with stress and the role of diet in managing stress. I loved being able to share feelings with this very accepting group of ladies.

The Pumpkin, Presence & Peace Retreat was, hands down, one of the most uplifting and soul-filling experiences I’ve had in years. I arrived hoping for a little calm before the holiday chaos, but what I found over those three days in Myrtle Beach was something far deeper—true restoration. Dr. Heather Kidwell has a gift. You can feel her decade of experience in the way she blends research-based stress relief with warm, approachable guidance. Every session felt intentional, never rushed, and always grounded in something meaningful. The science-meets-soul balance she creates is rare, and it made the entire retreat feel both refreshing and trustworthy. The sound bath the first evening was absolutely magical—like someone hit a reset button on my nervous system. And the reflective practices she led throughout the weekend were so thoughtfully designed that I kept having those quiet “Oh… this is what I’ve been needing” moments. The guest-led sessions added variety and depth, and the whole experience felt like a gentle conversation with myself that I didn’t realize I’d been avoiding. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and free of any pressure. It was the kind of space where you could just be—breathe, reflect, and let yourself soften a little. By the time Sunday rolled around, I felt noticeably lighter, clearer, and way more grounded heading into the holiday season. If you’re craving peace, presence, and a chance to reconnect with yourself, this retreat delivers all of that and more. I truly can’t recommend it enough.
