Retreats & Trips
For women in the in-between — no longer in the life they had, not yet in the life they’re building.
Thoughtful travel and shared experiences for women rebuilding life after divorce.
Our retreat philosophy
Dispatched Divorcée retreats are not healing intensives, productivity bootcamps, or spirituality vacations.
They are experiences built around rest, curiosity, adventure, beauty, and friendship — intentional, and without the pressure to do anything, if permission to rest is what you need. Our experiences are where you can step out of your daily life long enough to hear your own voice again, and where community forms in the small moments inside the bigger adventure.
Every retreat is guided by the same beliefs:
- You’re not broken — you’re in-between
- Being witnessed changes everything
- The next chapter often begins with an unexpected conversation
These retreats are opportunities to explore new places with new friends, and to experiment with different versions of yourself. Open to divorced women and members of our community.
Retreats aren’t an escape — they’re where we begin.

Meet your host
Hi, I’m Laura
I created these retreats because I was once where you are now — in the in-between. Desperately needed to process everything that just happened while the world was telling me to “bounce right back.” while the world was asking me to “bounce back.”
After years in survival mode, I was craving…something. And I found it traveling in-and-out of airplanes around the world. I found it when I moved from the US to Switzerland as my divorce was being finalized. And in Tokyo, where I was living when I found a group of women who I felt like I truly belonged with. These places helped me remember who I was and what kind of divorcée I wanted to be in this chapter of my life.
I designed the Dispatched Divorcée trips and retreats to be experiences in the places that inspired me finding my way back to myself. And I want to share them with you.
I host these retreats to guide you through new experiences and places where you have permission to explore, play, and build trust in yourself at your own pace, and in good company with someone else taking care of all the administrative duties.
Our bags are packed, we're ready when you are.
