I want to thank you for taking a moment to learn more about Rooted & Radiant — a one-of-a-kind retreat experience for teen girls held at Echoes of Silence, our peaceful garden sanctuary in Stafford, Virginia.
This retreat was created with great care and love for girls between the ages of 12 and 17 — especially those navigating the many pressures of growing up in today’s world. Whether it’s school stress, social media, family dynamics, or simply the noise of everyday life, many young women are carrying more than they know how to express.
At Echoes of Silence, we believe in the healing power of stillness. We offer a space where your daughter can slow down, reconnect with her inner voice, and remember that she is more than enough — just as she is.
During the retreat, the girls will enjoy a full day of peaceful reflection, nature walks, gentle movement, creative journaling, and self-care practices inspired by holistic and biblical wisdom. Our goal is not to fix or correct them — but to affirm, uplift, and equip them with tools to manage stress, build confidence, and embrace who they are becoming.
Safety, emotional well-being, and respect are at the heart of everything we do. Our trained team of female mentors and facilitators are not only qualified — they are also deeply compassionate and dedicated to creating an experience that is both nurturing and safe.
I am a mother myself, and I understand how sacred your trust is. Please know that your daughter will be seen, supported, and surrounded by kindness throughout her time with us.
You can find answers to frequently asked questions on our website, and once registered, you’ll receive a detailed welcome packet, packing list, and an invitation to our Parent Info Session.
If you have any questions or just want to talk through the experience, I’d love to hear from you. You’re not just signing your daughter up for a retreat — you’re giving her the gift of rest, reflection, and radiant growth.
With gratitude and grace,
Brenda Dixon
