ConnectHER Weekend Retreat 2025 is Taking Over Chicago to Foster Connection, Confidence, and Community
A transformative three-day retreat designed to help ambitious women grow through intentional connection, real conversations, and bold self-discovery.
CHICAGO, IL, April 01, 2025 -- ConnectHER Weekend Retreat, the transformative three-day experience created by Dr. Tammy C. Barnett, is returning for its fifth powerful year—this time, taking over Chicago from April 25–27, 2025, at The Royal Sonesta Chicago River North which is a vibrant and modern space that sets the tone for a weekend of elevation and expansion. With the theme "Connection Is Currency: What's Your Net Worth?", the 2025 retreat promises to deliver an unforgettable experience designed to help high-achieving women grow their networks, elevate their mindset, and pivot with purpose.
ConnectHER Weekend Retreat is more than just an event—it's a movement. Built on the belief that connection is the true currency of life and business, the retreat continues to impact the lives of women across the country, providing them with the tools, support, and community needed to evolve and expand. What began as a bold idea to bring women together in the spirit of connection and clarity has become one of the most anticipated personal and professional development experiences of the year.
"I'm incredibly excited about the ConnectHER Weekend Retreat and the impact it's going to have on women from all walks of life. This year's theme, 'Connection is Currency: What's Your Net Worth,' is all about redefining what true wealth looks like. It's not just about dollars — it's about the strength of your community, the depth of your relationships, and the value you bring to the table. At ConnectHER, we're creating a space where women can find their tribe, share their stories, and realize that they don't have to do it all alone. Our mission is to empower women to not only survive but thrive, and I'm proud to be part of this movement," states Tammy C. Barnett, founder of ConnectHER Weekend Retreat.

The weekend will also include curated moments of rest and reflection, celebrations of womanhood, and surprise activations that speak to the heart and soul of every woman in the room. There will also be a VIP Welcome Cruise Friday evening and a Sneaker Ball Saturday evening.
