The Alone Together Community

Our First Mid-Year Virtual Retreat For Women

Held May 16 & May 17, 2026
Women from several countries made the courageous decision as we gathered virtually: we were not too busy to pause. We were too important not to. 


The Alone Together Community's first Virtual  

Mid-Year Retreat was a success, creating

an itinerary and online programming for women to step away from the noise, reconnect with ourselves and other women, and begin shaping the next half of our year with clarity, alignment, courage, and joy.

      About The Retreat & Workshop Leaders

      Abby Knowles, Leadership & Development Expert

      Meet your host, guide & Founder: AbbY KNOwles

      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.

      About The Alone Together Women's Retreat

      Freeport Grand Bahama 2025

      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.

      the impact

      "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

      the impact

      the impact

      the impact

      " 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
