Hike Little Talbot Island

June 8, 2025 by stephanie.cornais |

My next nature and wellness retreat is set! It’s a one-day hiking retreat at Little Talbot Island State Park. It is a beautiful place!

Join Me for a Transformational Day in Nature!

Near Winter Solstice, on December 20, 2025, I’m inviting women of all ages to step away from the noise of daily life and immerse themselves in nature, connection, and personal growth.

Why This Nature Retreat?

Planning an adventure can feel overwhelming, but I take care of the details so you don’t have to. From day packing guidance to hiking safety tips, I’ll support you every step of the way.

This retreat will be a chance for you to deepen your connection to nature and to yourself. It will be a transformative and memorable experience that you will cherish forever.

Once we arrive at Little Talbot Island State Park, you’ll enjoy:


✔️ Guided hike through stunning landscape

✔️Nourishing snacks and tea after the hike

✔️ Yoga session on the beach to restore and energize


✔️ Nature journaling and creative reflection activity


✔️ Meaningful group discussions to deepen self-awareness & connection


✔️ Plenty of downtime to rest, recharge, and soak in the beauty around you

Who Is This For?

🌿 Women seeking clarity, inspiration, and adventure
🌿 Those craving a break from the daily grind to reconnect with nature
🌿 Anyone who wants to strengthen friendships or build new ones in a supportive space

You don’t have to be an experienced nature girl— just bring an open heart and a willingness to explore.

Investment in Yourself

Only 12 spots available
$75 per person
Email stephanie.cornais@gmail.com to reserve your spot today! I have a feeling this is going to fill up super quickly.

*No refunds or cancellations 60 days before the event. The event will happen rain or shine.

Give Yourself the Gift of Renewal

This retreat is more than just a day away—it’s an opportunity to reset, reflect, and return home feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and deeply connected to what matters most.

Come with friends or arrive solo—either way, you’ll find a sense of belonging. Sometimes, the best version of yourself emerges among strangers who become lifelong friends.

Are you ready to say YES to adventure, connection, and transformation?

Email stephanie.cornais@gmail.com to claim your spot before they’re gone!

Testimonials from women who have attended past Nature Retreats with Stephanie:

“Surrounded by nature’s peace and beauty, this trip offered much more than scenic trails—it was a chance to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with nature and our inner self. Guided by the thoughtful and inspiring Stephanie, we shared meaningful conversations, quiet moments of meditation, and the simple joy of journaling in the stillness of the woods. Stephanie created a safe and welcoming space that brought us together, encouraging connection with one another and ourselves.”

“This retreat was a powerful reminder of the value of pausing, breathing deeply, and appreciating the present. I left feeling grounded, grateful, and reconnected with nature, community, and myself.”

“Loved spending time with like-minded, nature-loving gals identifying birds and wildflowers was the best!”

Life lately. I got potatoes in the ground! Potat Life lately. 

I got potatoes in the ground! Potatoes should go in around Valentine’s Day, but February kicked my butt and I was waiting to take over the garden bed next to mine.

My carrots and peas are coming up nicely, the mustard greens are still kicking, and my garlic got some extra nutrients as they enter the fattening up stage. My poppies have not bloomed-yet, but the coreopsis survived the freeze and is starting to put out new leaves. TBD if the African Blue Basil will come back. 

I planted 24 tomato plants in my new bed today too! I’m pumped to now have almost 100 sq feet of space to grow vegetables. 

My gardening class started last week, but if you missed it and need some support to get started, or have questions (and prefer asking human with expertise from hands on experience) doing a private consult with me is an option too!

This weekend I added a couple of bags of @man.in.overalls Magic Mix (which I accidentally called Magic Mike when checking out at @cultivatejax 😂🤦🏼‍♀️) and I planted some more carrots and peas seeds. Winter is almost over and it’s time to get in the garden! 

My gardening class starts next week! Link in bio.
Continuing to catch up. What an absolute joy it wa Continuing to catch up. What an absolute joy it was to grow Roselle last season! Roselle is also called Florida Cranberry, and it’s a special plant to grow if you live in the southeast. 

It’s a three season plant. Starting in early spring,  I planted seeds given to me by a friend. I cared for, and tended to, the plants all summer and fall. I enjoyed the blooms as much as the fruit! When it was harvest time, I decided to freeze some for tea making and I also made a huge batch of simple syrup for holiday gifts. 

If you want to learn how to grow fruits and vegetables in Florida and the Southeast, check out my online class starting Feb 26th. Link in bio.

This quote from Josephine Nuese is so true! “Anyone who thinks that gardening begins in the spring and ends in the fall is missing the best part of the whole year. For gardening begins in January, begins with the dream.” 

Even though we are in the dead of winter, I hope you are dreaming of summer gardening. If you are thinking about taking my online vegetable gardening class (starts Feb 26th!) and have questions, shoot me a DM and I’m happy to chat.

It was a head straight to the garden after work ki It was a head straight to the garden after work kind of day. Social media is such a weird place, but @avellinofarms said it well, we have to keep planting the seeds. 

My garden is the place that saves me over and over again. In times like these, a healthy and functioning nervous system is my top priority. I’m not ignoring the situation, I call my representatives and take action, but I also double down on taking care of myself, so I can keep functioning. 

I’d like to teach you how to garden. The nuts and bolts and science of how it all works, but also the esoteric poetry of it as well. The part that makes tending a garden healing work for yourself and for the world. 

Registration is open (link in bio), classes start the last week of February. 💚
