Awakening Joy in Midlife

Come home to yourself in the sacred space of midlife.

This retreat is an invitation to pause, reflect, and rekindle joy through embodied movement, deep rest, yoga, storytelling, and soulful connection.

Together we will honor the wisdom of our lived experiences, release what no longer serves, and open to the radiant vitality available at this powerful threshold.

A retreat for women navigating the sacred terrain of midlife—a space to reconnect with your body, heart, and spirit through gentle, embodied movement, soulful ritual, restful yoga, and sacred circle, Soaking in the beauty of the land and ocean in the sweet company of other women, we pause, reflect and reconnect with Joy.

This time of midlife gets such a bad rap, as the notorious midlife crisis suggests, yet midlife can also be this potent and empowering time of our lives… this time of truly becoming all of who we are. The middle point where we have the opportunity to settle deeply into our skin and embrace every step of our journey along the way.

Together we will honor our changing rhythms, celebrate the wisdom we carry, and awaken joy as a guiding light in this vibrant season of becoming. An invitation to pause, be held in what is unfolding for you at this moment, and celebrate the power of being fully and beautifully YOU.
