For immediate release
Longboat Key Women’s Wellness Retreat Returns September 23–24
BE YOU Motivate’s Radiate Retreat brings mindset, movement, longevity, nutrition, style and ritual programming to an intimate two-day gathering on Florida’s Suncoast.
LONGBOAT KEY, Fla., August 22, 2026 — BE YOU Motivate will hold its Radiate Retreat, a two-day women’s wellness and personal transformation retreat, September 23 and 24, 2026, on Longboat Key, Florida. Registration is open now at beyoumotivate.com.
The retreat is built for women with full lives and little unclaimed time: professionals, founders, mothers and women in transition who want two days of structured attention on their own health, direction and self-presentation. It marks a return to Florida’s Suncoast following an earlier Longboat Key edition, and is part of a retreat program that has also run on the West Coast.
The organizing premise is stated plainly in the retreat materials: this is not about escaping your life, but about returning to it differently.
Five program threads across two days
Movement and mindset. Yoga, stretching, guided reflection and BE YOU Motivate’s personal transformation work, led by founders Kim Wise and Krista Flynn. The programming is designed to help participants reconnect with their bodies, clarify what they want next and translate insight into practical action.
Longevity and biohacking. A session with Dr. Tracey Norman, a holistic chiropractor, yoga instructor, wellness educator and founder of Sanctuary of Life in Sarasota. Drawing on more than two decades of nervous-system-centered practice, she will explore practical approaches to gut health, recovery and nervous-system regulation, including the use of wellness technologies such as the Biomat.
Beauty and nutrition. A working conversation with Stanford-certified nutritionist and Beauty f(x) founder Denise Manning on functional nutrition and edible beauty, from high-protein formulation and marine collagen peptides to biotin and clinically studied ingredients, including key nutrition considerations for women using GLP-1 medications.
Style and self-expression. A session with couture designer Birgit C. Muller, a three-time Daytime Emmy Award winner for costume design, on how color, silhouette and self-knowledge combine—treating personal style as a form of self-definition rather than decoration.
Matcha and ritual. A hands-on matcha-making session, taught as a repeatable daily practice rather than a demonstration.
Connection is treated as programming in its own right rather than as a by-product. The group is kept deliberately intimate, and unstructured time is scheduled rather than left to chance.
The setting
The retreat takes place on Longboat Key, a barrier island northwest of Sarasota. Exact venue information is shared privately with confirmed attendees.
Practical details
The Radiate Retreat runs across two full days, September 23 and 24, 2026. Retreat experiences and all meals are included; travel and accommodations are not. Registration is at beyoumotivate.com under Retreats, with a non-refundable deposit of $250 due at the time of booking.
