Break the Cycle. Claim Real Connection.If you’ve ever found yourself pouring your heart into someone who couldn’t–or wouldn’t–love you back, you know how draining and isolating it feels. Known as “limerence,” this cycle of attaching to (and even obsessing on) unavailable people can leave you stuck, sad, and chasing scraps of affection while the life and love you deserve remain out of reach. This retreat is your turning point. Over three powerful days, author and Crappy Childhood Fairy creator Anna Runkle–whose work has reached millions worldwide–will guide you in gently uncovering the roots of these painful patterna, releasing addictive attachments, and building your vision for a committed, passionate relationship with a person who is right for you. You’ll leave with the tools, confidence, and a structured plan for dating so you can stop repeating old mistakes and find love that lasts.
This retreat is open to women seeking to change trauma-driven dating patterns and build a fulfilling, committed relationship. It is not appropriate for those in mental health crisis.

This retreat offers a rare space to face the wounds of neglect and rejection and embrace a new approach to love. By the time you leave, you’ll carry with you not just hope—but a clear, personalized plan to end relationship traps, live more fully, and find the right person at last.
