You’ve spent years holding everything together… but somewhere along the way, you lost connection with yourself.

You’ve pushed through.
You’ve achieved.
You’ve carried others.
You’ve stayed strong even when your body whispered slow down.

Maybe now you feel:
• Emotionally exhausted
• Overwhelmed or disconnected from your intuition
• Numb, tense, or in discomfort
• Unsure of your direction
• Longing for softness, space and a deeper sense of “you” again

If you feel a quiet pull toward rest and reconnection…
This retreat was created for you.

This retreat is for the woman who…
• Is a high achiever, caretaker, or perfectionist
• Feels disconnected from her body, intuition, or emotions
• Holds inner tension or discomfort (emotional, physical—or both)
• Craves rest, clarity, and genuine support
• Longs to feel grounded, safe, and “in herself” again
• Is ready to reconnect to her inner world with gentleness
• Wants healing but not through force, pressure, or performance

You don’t need to be in pain to come.
You only need to feel the pull toward something deeper.

What if what you’re experiencing isn’t a problem?
But an invitation to return to yourself?

Many women think their exhaustion, tension, or numbness is something to “fix”.
But often, it’s simply the body asking for presence.
For softness.
For space to breathe again.

At Return to the Body, you’ll reconnect with your inner world through somatic practices, nature, community, and deep rest.

You’ll begin to:

• Feel grounded and more present
• Listen to your body with gentleness
• Release stored tension
• Settle your nervous system
• Restore your inner clarity
• Reconnect with softness, intuition, and pleasure
• Feel nourished, supported and deeply held
• Return home to yourself

Over five nourishing days we’ll move through:

• Morning Yoga at the Beach – Mindful Hatha & Vinyasa with Restorative elements
Awaken your body with presence and softness.

• Somatic Healing & Nervous System Regulation
Gentle, accessible practices to reconnect with your body and release stored tension.

• Collective Horse Healing Session
A grounded, wordless experience of emotional mirroring and profound safety.

• Whale & Dolphin Searching Tour
Connect with the vastness of the ocean, the rhythm of life, and deep, natural presence.

• Ceremonial Circles & Community Connection
Holding spaces where you are seen, supported, and honored.

• Sound Healing & Breathwork
To settle, soften, and integrate your internal shifts.

• Ocean, nature, rest, and silence
Time to just be with no pressure to perform or be effective.
