A Place to Rest, Reflect & Reconnect
Our space to learn, growth and connect

Maybe You've Been Wondering "What's Next for ME?"
Maybe life looks a little different than you thought it would by now.
The kids don't need you in quite the same way. A relationship has changed. Your career is shifting. You've walked through a health challenge. Or maybe nothing dramatic has happened at all — you simply know you're ready for something more.
Somewhere along the way, you started asking:
What do I want now?
Who am I becoming?
And what do I want this next chapter of my life to look like?
Imagine Giving Yourself an Entire Weekend to Focus on YOU.
Not your kids.
Not your spouse or partner.
Not your job.
Not your to-do list.
You.
The PURPOSE AFTER RETREAT is your opportunity to step away from the noise of everyday life and create space to reconnect with yourself --who you are now, what matters most to you, and what you want this next chapter to look like.
Over the weekend, you'll have time to reflect, explore your purpose, dream a little bigger, and begin creating a vision for what comes next.
And this won't be a weekend spent sitting in workshops from morning until night.
There will be meaningful conversations and guided activies, but there will also be delicious food, laughter, downtime, new friendships, quiet moments, and ---if Minnesota weather cooperates --- time around the campfire.
You don't need to reinvent yourself.
Sometimes you simply need enough space to reconnect with the woman who has been there all along -- and see what's still possible.
Your Host - Jean Abbott
What Will We Actually Do?
This weekend isn't about sitting around talking about everything that went wrong.
It's about honoring where you've been, reconnecting with with who you are, and intentionally looking toward where you want to go next.
Meet Your Host
Hi, I’m Jean.
I know what it feels like when life doesn’t follow the plan you had for it.
Over the years, I’ve navigated more than a few unexpected chapters. I lived three decades with a physical disability and a diagnosis that ultimately turned out to be wrong. I’ve helped care for a parent through in-home hospice, watched my two oldest children leave for college, navigated divorce and co-parenting, and most recently faced a major health diagnosis, surgery, and a long recovery.
Each transition looked different. But many of them eventually brought me back to the same questions:
- Who am I now?
- What matters to me in this season?
- Do I keep doing what I love—or is it time to do something different?
- And what do I want the next chapter of my life to look like?
I’ve learned that resilience isn’t simply about getting through difficult things. Sometimes resilience means giving yourself permission to stop, reassess, and decide how you want to move forward.
That lesson has shaped not only my own life, but the work I do today as a keynote speaker and certified Purpose Factor® coach.
I don’t believe our purpose disappears when our circumstances change. Sometimes a new season gives us the opportunity to rediscover it—and to live it in a way we never imagined before.
That's why I created the PURPOSE AFTER RETREAT.
Not because I have every answer for what your next chapter should look like. but because I know the power of creating space to ask the questions- and I would be honored to help you discover your own answers.
Life has rewritten my story more than once. Each time, I found the courage to move forward.
Now I want to help you do the same.
