You are not too busy to pause. You are too important not to.

Meet Abby Knowles, the visionary founder and host of Alone Together—a transformative women’s development retreat born from her own journey of growth, clarity, and courage. Over her 28-year career as a corporate executive, Abby has coached and mentored countless professionals toward their goals. What began as her private December ritual to pause and reset has blossomed into a sacred space she now shares with women seeking more—more alignment, more intention, and more joy.
Abby understands the pressure women carry: to lead, to serve, to achieve—often without the time or permission to simply be. Alone Together offers a safe space and inspiring environment where Abby brings her experience, tools and resources to help women slow down, listen inward, and design lives that reflect who we truly are.
This is more than a women's retreat—it’s a reset. Come and write your next chapter.

Kelly McIntosh is Abby's sister and a wellness coach, author, and certified group facilitator known for her transformative work helping others align their lives through intentional choices around health, self-awareness, and personal growth. Drawing from her own journey of healing and change, Kelly guides individuals to reconnect with their vision for a well-lived life—one grounded in clarity, calm, and purpose.
Her powerful “Life in Alignment” approach as part of this women's development program, equips them with the tools and courage to assess misalignments, take empowered action, and sustain harmony across all areas of life.
Come experience her soul-stirring session that helps you take back the driver's seat, with warmth, wisdom, and practical tools,
You’ve poured into others. Now it’s your turn.

Held every first weekend of December since 2022, Alone Together
has been a transformative women's development program designed to help women experience personal and professional growth in a supportive environment. One of the biggest challenges women face is allowing themselves the freedom, without guilt, to set aside time to invest in themselves; a time for self-reflection and understanding their unique genius so they can design a life they love. This women's retreat and workshop provides that sacred space and the skills to build that life they want.
In December 5 - 7 2025, Our 4th Alone Together was held at its first international location. It was a dream come true to provide an opportunity for women to truly step away and pamper themselves.
"Great work Abby. Thanks for creating the space for me to practice living an authentic life." 2024
"I would definitely recommend this event to women of all ages." 2023
"Thank you for pulling this together. It was time well spent, more work to do. I am determined to make myself a priority this year." 2022
"I loved your use of the words “sisterhood” and “legacy.” You called us to “something higher” than when we began." 2022
"Other women whom I told about the workshop said they too would have been interested. You guys have latched on to something contagious." 2023
"The exercise with The Future Magazine was very powerful. It changed my perspective on my future goals by highlighting the opportunity to design and proactively take steps to execute the foundational precursors that will directly and indirectly lead to the realities I envision for tomorrow " - 2023
"[I left with] a whole heap of ideas and hope and intentions and plans...' 2023
" I was afraid to do this in my phase of life but it was wonderful! I feel inspired and hopeful, THANK YOU!!!" 2024
"Coming out of the workshop I was able to flesh out parts of my personal vision which were hazy. I grew some courage. And I am now open and willing." 2023
"...was perfectly timed for me, because I am personally going through a transition professionally. I was moved and motivated by the statements: to "get caught living", chase my goals and dreams with "urgency", strive to "find my zone of genius, my fly state"; and that "success happens when opportunity meets preparation" and a resounding call to be prepared, stay ready and action." 2022
