The R.U.T.H. Experience is more than a retreat — it is a meaningful and memorable experience designed to bring women together in a scenic, relaxing, and rejuvenating environment where they can laugh, love, learn, listen, and heal in community. Created for women who are ready to pause from the demands of everyday life, this experience encourages restoration of the mind, body, and spirit through connection, reflection, empowerment, and authentic engagement.
Originally launched as the 4R Women’s Retreat, the vision expanded after the first retreat when the women who attended expressed a desire to return and continue the journey together. During one of the retreat activities, participants were asked to write a heartfelt letter to another woman titled “Just for You.” That moment became deeply personal and transformative, reminding founder Dr. Rhonda Mouton of her mother, Marilyn Ruth Booker Mouton, whose legacy of love and encouragement touched countless lives through handwritten cards sent for every occasion. Once you met her, you were on her card list forever.
Inspired by those intentional words of kindness and the lasting impact they carried, the retreat was renamed The R.U.T.H. Experience in her honor. While each gathering may look different, the heart of the experience remains the same: creating moments of restoration, connection, healing, and empowerment that every woman will carry with her long after the retreat ends.
The R.U.T.H. Experience invites women to relax, release laughter, joy, fun, and what no longer serves them, rejuvenate their spirit, reclaim their voice and purpose, and leave renewed — with memories, connections, and experiences that will last a lifetime.
