About Us

Our retreats are designed to provide women with the tools and resources to take
home with them and continue to work on themselves. Each of our retreats has a specific theme, allowing attendees to focus on unique areas of their personal development.

Our retreats are 'moving,' meaning they occur in various locations throughout Ontario and eventually in other provinces and span from days long to weekend long to whole week retreats.

We are committed to providing a space where women can come together to grow, learn, and connect.

We are excited to welcome you to our community and look forward to helping you become the BEST you can be.

Darlene Kretz, Founder

Darlene Kretz grew up on the east end of Hamilton, and worked her way into a successful real estate career in Burlington. Throughout her success, she has consistently mentored and nurtured other women in business. A core belief of hers is that success is to be shared amongst all women.

Darlene has also consistently been a part of the Burlington community within her charity work, and women empowerment. Two of her very dear friends were such supportive, loving, gracious women who inspired her growth - Val and Shadi.

Both Val and Shadi passed away between 2020 and 2021. It is through their love, support, and inspiration that Angel Wings Retreat was born.

In every decision we make at Angel Wings Retreats, we reflect, “What would Val and Shadi do?”. It is their wings that guide us, and send us the unconditional love that only angels could truly possess.

Our main focus is on providing a supportive and inclusive space where women can come together, celebrate each other, and have fun in different geographic locations.

“A safe and welcoming space where women can empower themselves to become the greatest version of themselves.”

— Darlene, Founder of Angel Wings Retreats
