About Us
Our Founder
Lisa Russell is a soulful strategist, retreat curator, and transformational leader who blends operational excellence with intentional living. After 25 years leading high-impact teams, she founded Jade & Oak—a space for reconnection, reflection, and personal transformation.
Rooted in her deep commitment to authenticity and healing, Lisa brings both structure and soul to every experience she creates. Her daughter, Jade, contributes her creative and artistic gifts to the retreats, making Jade & Oak a generational journey—where wisdom and wonder meet.
Together, they craft experiences that nourish the mind, body, and spirit—helping others rise into their most aligned, expansive selves.
Strategy meets soul. Structure meets stillness. And legacy begins with love.
Core values
At Jade & Oak, we believe real transformation begins with creating space—space to breathe, to feel, and to reconnect with who you truly are. We’re rooted in authenticity, valuing presence over perfection and connection over performance.
Our retreats are intentionally designed to nourish the soul through shared experiences, gentle rituals, and moments of stillness that awaken your inner wisdom.
Like the oak, we honor grounded growth—steady, resilient, and aligned with your truth. And like jade, we embody balance, grace, and simplicity.
We don’t believe healing has to be complicated; we believe it has to be yours. Whether you’re here to rest, reflect, or rise, Jade & Oak offers a sanctuary where you can embrace the gray, honor your journey, and return to yourself.
