It’s your turn to join IN and rise up

three days to get intentional on creating your best year yet

This #ALLiNwithChristieNix program offers so much more than fitness! Open to anyone from anywhere, come with friends, business teams and co-workers, or open arms to expand your tribe, as we step into our 2025 RISE!

RED RIVER ESTATE

from this location I’ve seen women empowering women, women pausing long enough from all of our roles and responsibilities to connect with ourselves, receive inspiration from others, have fun and feel pretty, take pictures, learn something new, release whats holding us back, set goals and define our RISE so clearly we can see it too!!


WHAT WILL WE DO?

The Red River Estate boasts endless possibilities for facilitating our retreat weekend. Over the years we like to keep quiet on the exact specifics of our weekend until packing list are sent and welcome packets received. You can expect some movement minutes like yoga, body weight workouts for all fitness levels, and fun games to keep our energy up and bodies moving. Also, a pen and notebook will be handy for sessions that have included panel questions, guest speakers, and professional development learning. With that, you can plan to have fun, smile, laugh, maybe cry a little, dance, learn, grow, up level, feel seen, reset, refocus, reenergized, with new friends that want to elevate your RISE as they continue stepping into their own RISE!!

SMALL GROUPS

Over the course of our weekend we will spend time in large group sessions with time together in our smaller groups to further digest our topics. Ive always grown the most from putting myself in rooms with other women wanting the same.

WHAT TO WEAR?

We hang out in yoga pants and comfy clothes almost the entire time, with a dedicated finale night to bring our theme to life. This year I’ve partnered with Joie de Events to help kick our heels up and style this years theme perfectly.

Rise Reviews

Mindy Galbreath

Rise Retreat: More Than Just a Retreat—It's a Sisterhood* I attend Rise Retreat every year, and each time it feels like coming home. This isn’t just another retreat; it’s a life-changing experience where women uplift each other, forming bonds that last well beyond the weekend. It’s a space where you can grow, not just as a woman, but as a whole person. At Rise Retreat, you’ll find a community of women who truly understand the importance of support, encouragement, and shared strength. The workshops are empowering, the conversations are heartfelt, and the connections made are priceless. Whether you're looking to reflect on your own journey, gain insights from others, or simply bask in the warmth of a supportive community, Rise Retreat is the place to be. It’s more than just a break from the everyday—it’s a transformative experience that fills your heart and soul..

Don’t wait and make excuses, this could be your year to RISE! Total sales pitch right, I know that’s what I thought when I was invited to someone’s living room four years ago. As a woman & army veteran, strangers and vulnerability did not mesh. However, brick by brick, retreat by retreat, my walls came down. Surrounded by like minded women, who meet you where you are, has been one of the most powerful interactions I have been blessed to encounter. Love without judgment. An intentional place to set and share goals. A safe place to encourage, laugh and grow together. This retreat doesn’t stop after the weekend, it will continue as long as you continue to show up for yourself, and do the work to LEVEL UP and RISE!

This past weekend I got the pleasure of spending with a group of AMAZING women! Some of the ladies I already knew and the ones I didn’t became friends pretty quick So thankful to be surround by a group of women that build each other up instead of tear each other down. 

Throughout the weekend we set goals, laughed, cried, worked out, played kickball, has a PJ party and opened our hearts and minds to receive each other stories and then we cried some more. Of course we celebrated at the end in our Little Black Dresses. 

Huge misconception is we are a fitness group. While fitness maybe a component we are so much more than that! We are moms, wives, grandmas and sisters all looking to live #AlliN and live our best lives.

Rise Retreat 2024 is so hard to adequately describe. I came in a day later than everyone else, but as I was walking up to the venue, everyone started cheering that I had made it. I don't know if you know what it's like having 25 women, most of whom you've never met, celebrating your arrival, but it makes you feel pretty welcomed. We worked in teams to build connections with each other, we ate together, sang karaoke together, opened up about our lives to each other, prayed over each other and truly shared love for each other. The one thing that stood out to me the most is that several of the women had to leave to take care of work or family things and they didn't have to come back, but they did. They did it to continue showing love and support for everyone there. One of my favorite activities was the photo shoot. Everyone was lending each other clothes, makeup, jewelry and shoes - all to help each other feel like the most powerful and beautiful versions of themselves. No one was there to make the experience about themselves; everyone truly shared the experience together. It's a level of synergy among women I honestly didn't know could exist. Christie Nix - your vision is beautiful. Thank you for making this space for other women. I can't wait to see each of these beautiful new friends rise this year into their visions for themselves. Cannot wait for Rise Retreat 2025! Almost 9 months later and these women are still showing up for each other and helping each other stay focused on and reach their goals. the difference.

I’ve had to take a few days to digest my experience at The Rise Retreat in Savannah, GA. There are no words to impress upon you what it meant to me. 

I spent 3 days with a group of incredible women. Almost all of them were strangers that first day and I can now call them my friends. 

We lifted each other up. We cried, we laughed, we played, we set goals and looked in on ourselves with hope and clarity. We came together in a safe place without judgement, overcame our fears and embraced one another as women and sisters in Christ.

Never in my life have I experienced such a thing. My heart and soul are forever changed by this powerful group of women. God has set his sights on me and US and together, we are going to RISE!

I cannot put into words the authentic, genuine fellowship I experienced this weekend. There's something about a group of women coming together in support of one another that truly warms my heart. 

We were of all different ages, came from various backgrounds, have had vastly different life experiences but it quickly became evident that we all were there for a common purpose; To RISE into the best version of ourselves. 

Learning to let go of the pain that may be holding me back from the things I truly want to achieve was my mission going into the weekend. Having the support of these other women made the process of talking about that pain and letting it go more tolerable.

This retreat isn't about fitness or exercise, It's  about learning to RISE into the best version of ourselves without holding back. 

I learned SO, SO much this weekend, hung out with some awesome friends, made tons of new ones and feel so blessed. 

Are you in?

Dedicate this time to yourself with like minded women navigating the same seasons of life adding up to an unforgettable experience!

WE SEE YOU

As women our roles are so complex, it evolves with time and age, no one understands the vastness of it better than another WOMAN. When we feel heard, inspired, and reminded to trust God’s plan in the seasons of our lives, We faithfully step forward with intent to rock our own unique purposes.

RISE TOGETHER!
