Act 2 at Alisal

Tap into your superpowers at the ranch with our “Act 2 at Alisal” retreat 2025, designed to help women embrace the power of midlife. This is your time!

Act 2 – 2024 brought lots of laughs, self-reflection and connection. Last year host Monica Corcoran Harel—founder of Pretty Ripe— curated a lively itinerary with some special guests that included learning, leaning in and lots of laughter: workshops around trusting your instincts and career pivots with New York Times bestselling author Elise Loehnen, a “lasso your signature style” session with celebrity stylist and fashion influencer Abby Arad, yoga classes, a skincare tutorial with Vintner’s Daughter-founder April Gargiulo, and more. We are so excited to announce that Monica Corcoran Harel is back for another life changing experience through Act 2 – March 2025. Stay tuned as we get ready to unveil our 2025 itinerary and line-up.

Your nightly rate includes breakfast, dinner, drinks, all scheduled classes/seminars, 2 activities per night (horseback riding, golf, archery/air rifle, or axe throwing), and exclusive event swag bag.

*The 22 % Ranch Fee both helps offset the cost of various amenities made available to guests of the Alisal Ranch and funds additional compensation to the employees who provide service to our guests. The amenities provided include two branded water canteens, a bottle of wine in each room, Wi-Fi internet access, use of the fitness center, a shuttle to Solvang, bikes, scheduled and seasonal entertainment, tennis court use, fishing bait and tackle, use of non-motorized boats and aluminum boats at Alisal Lake, and various children’s activities, including the barnyard and kid’s arts and crafts. Part of the Ranch Fee is distributed to our service employees as additional compensation to eliminate the need for tipping at the Ranch.
