Weekend Getaway Ideas for Women: Relax, Explore, and Recharge

The Greenbrier, the celebrated resort set in West Virginia’s Allegheny Mountains, hosts a special Women’s Weekend from March 27–30 as part of its inaugural Discovery Series. Designed to inspire, educate and entertain, the weekend features a thoughtful lineup of talks and activities covering empowerment, relationships, sexuality, style, nutrition and fitness. Events culminate with an elegant evening gala. A portion of weekend proceeds will be donated to the Mountaineer Autism Project.

The weekend program blends practical workshops, expert-led demonstrations and leisure activities meant to support personal growth and well-being. Highlights include fitness sessions that combine strength, flexibility and cardiovascular work; nutrition seminars focused on boosting metabolism and using nutrient-dense foods; image and style guidance; relationship and self-awareness discussions; plus social events that foster connection among attendees.

Scheduled sessions and activities include:

  • The Greenbrier Circuit: Strength, Stretch & Stride — a blended movement class that emphasizes muscular strength, mobility and cardiovascular conditioning suitable for a broad range of fitness levels.
  • Mastering Your Metabolism — practical nutrition and lifestyle strategies to support metabolic health and sustainable energy.
  • Super Demo with Super Foods — a cooking demonstration showcasing nutrient-rich ingredients and simple techniques to make healthy meals both delicious and accessible.
  • The Type E Woman: Everything to Everybody — a talk exploring the pressures of caring for others, setting boundaries and claiming time for self-care.
  • Fun Run/Walk — a casual group run or walk on scenic resort paths to promote movement and camaraderie.
  • Spring Forth Your Best Image — personal styling and grooming tips to refresh your wardrobe and boost confidence for the season ahead.
  • What Makes You Tick — a session focused on self-discovery, stress management and building habits that support emotional resilience.
  • A reading of You Are a Prize to be Won! by Wendy Griffith — an author reading and conversation centered on self-worth and empowerment.
  • Benefit Gala Dinner in Colonial Hall — an evening fundraiser featuring a seated dinner and opportunities to support the Mountaineer Autism Project.
  • Farewell Breakfast — a closing meal to reflect on the weekend, share takeaways and plan ongoing steps for personal growth.

Attendees can mix educational sessions with the resort’s extensive amenities. Known as “America’s Resort,” The Greenbrier spans more than 10,000 acres in White Sulphur Springs, and offers four golf courses, a championship indoor and outdoor tennis complex, The Greenbrier Clinic which focuses on executive health, and a 40,000-square-foot spa. The combination of curated programming and resort services creates an ideal environment for rejuvenation, learning and social connection.

The Women’s Weekend is crafted for women seeking meaningful conversation, practical skill-building and an opportunity to recharge in a refined setting. Whether participants come for fitness, nutrition insight, style refreshes, personal development or simply to enjoy time with like-minded people, the weekend aims to leave attendees with useful tools and renewed confidence.

Because a portion of proceeds benefits the Mountaineer Autism Project, the weekend also provides a chance to support a local cause while enjoying the resort’s hospitality. The program format encourages interaction with presenters and fellow guests through workshops, group activities and evening events, making it easy to translate what you learn into daily life.

Information about registration, lodging options and the full weekend schedule is available directly from The Greenbrier. The resort’s combination of comprehensive amenities and thoughtful programming makes Women’s Weekend a memorable and purposeful escape for women interested in personal wellness, growth and connection.
