December Oaks Retreat: Vantage Point, Closing 2025, Creating 2026
with Stefanie Boyce and Justin Boyce
December 5 - 7, 2025
Price includes lodging, programming, fitness/yoga classes, contrast therapy and meals. Extra experiences (like massage or 1:1 coaching) can be added on separately after you register.
Everything on the schedule is optional. We want you to get what you need out of this weekend.
Check-in is Friday between 2:00-4:00pm. The first session is 4:30pm on Friday. We wrap up on Sunday around 10:30am, but we are about an hour outside San Diego and recommend planning some buffer time for travel and lunch so you’re not rushed leaving. We also have an early-check in option* if you’d like to add an extra day and come on Thursday. Then you would have 3 nights and 2 full days of full access to the property amenities, classes, and pre-retreat programming. You’ll see that add-on as an option when you register.
Join us for a transformative retreat as we close the chapter on 2025 and prepare for the year ahead. This is more than just a goal-setting retreat; it’s an opportunity to look back with kindness and curiosity, exploring what worked, what didn’t, and why we sometimes get stuck in the same patterns. We’ll dive deep into how we spend our days, what we give our time to, and how we can move forward with intention, investing in the work, relationships, and activities that truly bring us life. Let’s create a purposeful plan for 2026, where we’re not just reacting to the loudest demands but focusing on what matters most.
OPTIONAL WORKSHOPS

Pre-Session Workshop: Early Check-In Reflection
For early arrivals, join us for a pre-session workshop designed to set the tone for the retreat. We’ll start with a guided reflection on the past year, exploring what it means to review our year with kindness and curiosity. This session is about laying the groundwork for deeper exploration, giving you the space to start thinking about where you’ve been, what you’ve accomplished, and where you want to go. It’s a gentle introduction to the work we’ll be doing together, offering a moment to pause and consider the journey so far.
1. Mapping Your Year: A Reflective Timeline
In this workshop, we’ll create a visual timeline of your 2025, mapping out key moments, achievements, and challenges. By examining how you’ve spent your time and energy, you’ll gain insight into what has been driving you and where you may have gotten off course. This exercise helps you see patterns, recognize accomplishments, and identify areas for growth. It’s about acknowledging all you’ve navigated and using that understanding to shape your path forward.
2. Understanding Stuckness: What Holds Us Back?
We all have goals and intentions that, year after year, seem to elude us. This session dives into the root causes of what keeps us stuck. Through guided reflection and group discussion, we’ll explore the fears, habits, and beliefs that hold us back. You’ll gain a clearer understanding of why certain goals haven’t materialized and learn practical strategies to move past these barriers, making room for new possibilities in 2026.
3. Celebrating Wins: Recognizing Progress and Growth
It’s easy to focus on what we didn’t accomplish, but what about the progress we’ve made? This workshop is dedicated to celebrating your wins—big and small—from the past year. We’ll discuss the importance of acknowledging our growth and how recognizing our achievements fuels future motivation and confidence. This session is a reminder to give yourself credit for what you have done and to carry that positive energy into the new year.
4. Intentional Living: Designing a Life That Matters
As we look forward to 2026, how can we be more intentional about where we invest our time and energy? In this workshop, we’ll explore how to align your daily actions with your values and long-term vision. Through exercises and discussions, you’ll identify the activities, relationships, and pursuits that bring you life and how to prioritize them in the year ahead. This is about creating a plan for 2026 that’s not dictated by the loudest demands but by the work and relationships that truly give you life.
Why This Matters
This retreat is about more than setting goals—it’s about gaining perspective on how we live our lives and making intentional choices for the future. By reflecting on 2025 with kindness and curiosity, you’ll gain clarity on what drives you, what holds you back, and how to create a more purposeful and fulfilling 2026. Join us to invest in the activities, work, and relationships that truly make you whole.
Who This Retreat Is For
This retreat is for anyone ready to reflect on the past year and make more intentional choices for the future. If you’ve struggled with getting stuck in the same patterns or want to understand why certain goals remain out of reach, this is for you. Ideal for those looking to refocus on what truly matters—whether in personal life, career, or relationships—and align their actions with their values in 2026.
