  • Searching for a women’s weekend getaway near Seattle

  • Looking for a creative retreat in Washington State

  • Wanting an all-inclusive getaway without flying

Hosted by Erin Oostra

The Reset Retreat is hosted by Erin Oostra, a Pacific Northwest artist, designer, and curator based in Ellensburg. Erin is the owner of Nuwave Gallery and has years of experience creating spaces where people feel welcomed, inspired, and at ease.

Her approach to hosting is warm and intentional. She believes creativity should feel accessible and joyful, not intimidating. The retreat reflects her love for art, nature, community, and creating meaningful experiences.


A Small and Intimate Experience

This retreat is intentionally limited to just ten guests. Keeping the group small allows the weekend to feel relaxed, personal, and connected.

Many women come alone and leave with new friendships. Others attend with a close friend. Either way, the environment is welcoming, supportive, and low pressure.


A Thoughtful Gift or Solo Escape

The Reset Retreat also makes a meaningful gift for birthdays, milestones, mother and daughter weekends, or seasons of transition. It is a gift of time, rest, and creativity rather than another physical item.

If you have been thinking about planning a solo women’s trip in Washington or gifting an experience instead of something material, this weekend offers both.


Limited Spots Available

With only ten spots available, this retreat is expected to fill quickly. Once all spaces are booked, registration will close.
