An intimate two-day retreat for 12 female leaders ready to pause, reconnect, and step into spring with renewed clarity and intention, organized by Stephanie von Behr and Emmie Faust.

Set in the serene Somerset countryside, 42 Acres offers an environment designed for restoration — ancient woodland, nourishing food, and the quiet intelligence of nature.

Together, we’ll explore what it means to lead from a grounded place, moving between stillness and conversation, structure and flow, solitude and shared insight.
