This past weekend, Chic Retreat OKGN welcomed 67 remarkable women to the luxurious Château Okanagan for an exclusive, transformative experience focused on personal growth, mindset, and genuine connections.

The retreat created a unique space for ambitious women to step away from their routines, embrace new perspectives, and refocus on their journeys within an environment of refined elegance.

The retreat was anchored by high-impact workshops and sessions on topics including Money Mindset, Resilience, and Authenticity, with expert keynote speakers offering invaluable insights.

With ATB Wealth as the presenting sponsor, we were filled with so many valuable take-aways on wellness, including financial resilience.

Sherri Wright-Schwietz of ATB Wealth said it best “Everyone is unique and understanding yourself is the first step to financial empowerment. The Chic Retreat allows us all the opportunity for reflection and to reset.”

The Chic Retreat OKGN provided an unforgettable weekend marked by powerful learning, community-building, and an inspiring atmosphere at the Château Okanagan, with premier local partners, Iconic Wineries and Delta Grand by Marriott to name a few.

In a commitment to support local communities, attendees joined together in raising $14,970 for the Kelowna Women’s Shelter, spotlighting the retreat’s dedication to uplifting and giving back.

Adding to the experience, country music star Dawson Gray enchanted guests with an intimate concert, creating an evening of celebration and connection.

The retreat’s highlights included:

• Insightful Workshops and Keynote Speakers: Sessions led by inspiring voices of Rachel Mielke, founder of Hillberg & Berk, and Olympic athlete Danielle Kettlewell (Reedy) to name a few.
• Intentional Networking and Luxurious Accommodations at the Château Okanagan and Delta Grand.
• Gourmet Cuisine: The Château’s exquisite setting, paired with chef-prepared meals and snacks with lake views.
• Wellness and Self-Care: From spa relaxing and red light therapy with Sona Wellness, to massage treatments by Moxness Massage, and Facials with La Creme (a local business with two locations; Penticton and West Kelowna)

Reflecting on the event, Amy Nicole Cohen, founder of The Chic Experience, shared, “The mission in creating luxury experiences such as the Chic Retreat, Okgn, is a simple one, I want to bring like-hearted people together (for some events, it’s women, and others it’s both men & women) to connect, be inspired and up level personally and professionally. I create events that I would be excited to attend, events that bring value into your life, and enrich it.”
