Join us for a deeply transformative Women’s Retreat created to nurture your soul, awaken your inner fire, and hold you in a sisterhood of strength, safety, and support.
This retreat is an invitation to gently step out of survival mode and into presence. Together, we will explore what your body has been holding onto old tension, unexpressed emotion, stored stress and begin the process of releasing it with compassion and care.
Our intention is not to “fix” you, but to help you feel safe enough to soften. To move beyond fight-or-flight and reconnect with your body, your breath, and the present moment so you can truly experience life as it was meant to be lived.
The Flow of the Day
We are going to open with a short space for sharing not to tell full stories or relive experiences, but to allow what has lived in silence to be witnessed.
You are always in choice. Sharing is optional.
If you choose to speak, we invite you to stay with what is present now rather than describing details of the past. Simple, embodied language is enough.
Once spoken, we then learn life-saving self-defense, not from fear, but from empowerment. This practice helps restore a sense of agency, boundaries, and trust in your body’s ability to protect itself. When the body feels capable, the nervous system can begin to soften.
From there, we move into a guided emotional and physical release, a sacred container where stored energy anger, grief, frustration, or overwhelm can be expressed safely and intentionally. This is not about losing control, but about allowing the body to discharge what it has been holding in silence. Sound, movement, and expression are welcomed as they arise.
After a grounding snack break and time for integration, we transition into somatic healing practices, inviting the body into slower, more subtle release. Through breath, mindful movement, and nervous system regulation, we allow safety to settle in. This is where the body learns it no longer has to stay guarded.
We close the day with sound bowl healing, using vibration and frequency to support deep rest and integration. The tones help regulate the nervous system, quiet the mind, and anchor the healing into the body leaving you feeling held, whole, and deeply connected.
This retreat is for the woman who is ready to stop surviving and begin inhabiting her life.
For the one who knows there is more peace, more softness, and more joy available.
You are not broken.
Your body has always known the way.
