Join us on a life-changing transformational journey with your new sober sisters. 

A soul-nourishing weekend in the heart of Arizona, created for women ready to embrace their authentic selves—wild, whole, and well.

Hosted by Kristi Tanner and Michelle Smith, this luxury retreat invites you to rest, reflect, and rise within a powerful community of women—all in an alcohol-free space designed to help you truly come home to yourself.

Xo, Kristi
& Michelle

Not just a weekend away—but a soul reset. Space to breathe. Time to reflect. A place to reconnect—with yourself and other women who get it. A space without needing to explain your choice not to drink.

Whether you’re alcohol-free, sober curious, or simply craving wellness without wine, Wild + Well was made for you.

You’re craving a reset

 Not because you have to be sober to join us, but because you deserve a space where wellness doesn’t come with a wine glass.

 This retreat is designed for women who want more from life—and less from alcohol.

And yes—this retreat is alcohol-free!

Laughter, tears, reflection, and release in a space where you’re fully seen and supported. 

How does this sound?

Wholesome meals and delicious alcohol-free drinks that nourish your body and celebrate your lifestyle.

Michelle Smith 

Michelle Smith is a mom, bestselling author, keynote speaker, certified recovery coach, certified alcohol and drug counselor, and the founder of Recovery is the New Black, a digital community for women living or exploring an alcohol-free life. Michelle struggled for years with alcohol addiction that looked like “overdoing it.” In reality, she was drinking to escape the stresses of life ― and the “mommy juice” drinking culture was helping her self-destruct. Since getting sober in 2016, she has integrated both her personal and professional experience toward normalizing sobriety in our boozy culture.

Michelle’s work has been featured on The Today Show, TEDx, The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Recovery Today Magazine, Alkermes, KTLA, NBC, ABC, and more. Michelle lives in the Pacific Northwest with her family and adorable dog.

“Come as you are. Leave as the woman you were always meant to be—clear, confident, and deeply connected.”

— Michelle Smith
