Are you ready to Thrive in 2026?
Join us January 23-25, 2026 on a scenic and secluded ranch near Bluff Dale, TX as we embark on a new evolution of Christy Hughes' empowering retreats!
Escape to the gateway to Hill Country and let your stress melt away with every mile toward The Hideaway Ranch & Refuge. Each of the ten cabins houses multiple guests, so grab your bestie, your sister, your mom, or even room with a stranger (soon to be friend).
Whether you’re a free-spirited hippie or a rugged cowgirl, we’ve created the perfect experience to support your healthy lifestyle. Recharge your mind, body, and spirit—this is a weekend you won’t want to miss!
Weekend accommodations include all meals, with breakfast kits to be enjoyed in your own personal space or as a group. Each cabin has a hot tub on the deck (you read that right) and there is a dry sauna and hot tub at the community center.
The community center will be the hub for our wellness discussions, group movement classes, and our tranformational vision board workshop on Saturday.
Lodging starts at $555 per person. Day passes for Saturday only will be available for $333 but we highly encourage you to unplug for the entire weekend!
Activities
Learn
Throughout the retreat, Christy will teach the six tenets her THRIVE method of confidence and leadership. Learn how Tenacity and Heart are prerequisites to pursuing your dreams. Tap into Resilience when things get tough and learn how both Intellect and Intuition guide your path. Finally, build Vitality through yoga and fitness classes and Envision your bright future with a vision board workshop.
Explore
The retreat is set on a sprawling 130-acre ranch just 90 minutes southwest of DFW and three hours north of Austin. Bring your camera for beautiful nature photography or your binoculars for birdwatching. Beat the January chill with a trip to the dry sauna or hot tub, or feed the cows for a real taste of ranch life!
Nourish
All meals will be provided on retreat weekends, including locally sourced sandwiches, baked goods and a farm-to-table style dinner. Gather around the campfire for a sweet treat as we roast our own S'mores (weather permitting).
