The Invitation You Didn’t Know You Needed
If you’re a woman who’s ever walked the line between holding it all together and breaking down in the mud room, this is for you.
If you’ve ever prayed through tears, penciled dreams in the margins of homeschool plans, and always feed the animals before feeding yourself—this is your open door.
Welcome to the Fluer-ish Retreat, a Western-rooted women’s leadership gathering set in the rugged beauty of Council Grove, Kansas. Not a conference. Not a girls’ weekend. This is something altogether different.
This is where we show up, shine, and set the table for a legacy that lasts.
Why Fluer-ish? Why Now?
Fluer-ish (yep, that spelling is intentional) is more than a clever name. It’s a nod to the French word fleur, meaning flower, and a gritty play on flourish — but with dirt under your fingernails. Because that’s what we do: we grow beautiful things in hard places.
I created this retreat for the woman who juggles faith, family, business, and branding while wondering if any of it will matter five years from now. It’s for the ones carrying stories in their bones, who need time to re-center and remember: you were made to fluer-ish.
You don’t need another productivity hack. You need clarity, community, and a deep breath of prairie air.
The Setting: Council Grove, Kansas — Tallgrass Country
Located in the heart of the Flint Hills, Council Grove is one of the few places left in the world where the tallgrass prairie still rolls wild and free. It’s the kind of landscape that doesn’t shout for your attention—it whispers to your soul.
Home to history-rich trails, local makers, and wide-open skies, Council Grove sets the perfect stage for reflection and reconnection. This isn’t a Hilton retreat center. This is The Territory Ballroom: a lovingly restored historic venue on Main Street, where our stories will echo off wooden floors and tin ceilings.

The Format: One Weekend, Lasting Impact
Fluer-ish is designed with intention, margin, and soul:
- Thursday Arrival & Welcome Dinner: Drinks at The Cottage House Hotel & dining at The Territory Ballroom
- Friday: Show Up Sessions – morning habit + identity workshops, optional pilates or prairie walk, coaching hot seats
- Saturday: Shine Sessions – personal brand, faith & leadership development, roundtable masterminds
- Sunday Morning: Set the Table Brunch – hospitality workshop, storytelling, and legacy-building sendoff
We’ll have fireside conversations. Quiet journaling time. A curated local maker pop-up shop. And space to laugh, cry, and go home different.
Want the vibe? Think cowhide and chandeliers, Navajo rugs and fancy tablescapes, coffee and cocktails. Boots at the door. Real talk at the table.
Who It’s For (And Who It’s Not)
If you’re building a brand, a family, a side hustle, or a life you love—this is for you.
If you lead in agriculture, education, entrepreneurship, ministry, or motherhood—this is for you.
If you crave authentic faith-filled sisterhood and conversations that go deeper than the weather—this is for you.
This is not for the woman who wants a spa weekend, a surface-level seminar, or a place to perform. There are no panels, no powerpoints, no pretense.
Just presence.
Your Host: Nicky Tiffany
I’m a horsewoman, a former collegiate equestrian coach, and a ranch mom turned entrepreneur. I teach rural women how to lead with legacy through hospitality, faith, and Western flair.
I built this retreat because I needed it. And I believe we build what we wish existed.
You can catch more of the backstory in Podcast Episode #XX — where I share how the Fluer-ish vision was born from burn out, prayer, and a desire to travel without leaving home.
