Retreat to You on Hallmark Channel
According to the official synopsis, goat yoga and a sunset hike help two former friends reconnect. Abby (Emilie Ullerup) is a pragmatic Los Angeles attorney who is taken, reluctantly, to a wellness retreat up north by her friend Rachel (Megan Heffern). Meanwhile, once at the retreat, Abby runs into Sean (Peter Mooney), her one-time high school best friend to whom she hasn’t spoken since he was a no-show on her 20 years ago.
Despite her friend’s urging to hear Sean out, Abby is reluctant to dredge up old high school drama. As Abby tries to make the best of her time at the retreat, with the help of forbidden junk food and goat yoga, sparks fly between Rachel and a handsome chef (Donald Heng).
