Slow Power Retreat
As the high energy of summer wanes and the transition to Fall has begun, my soul yearns for a sacred pause.
The days are getting shorter, seasons are shifting, and I already feel the intensity of end of the year building.
When I get really quiet I can hear my body saying:
“Wait a moment. Slow down. Reflect. Replenish. Celebrate. Integrate the wisdom gained so you can mindfully set intentions for where you want to go next.”
Choose yourself.
Let’s create that sacred pause together. Come, fall in love with yourself as you cultivate your Slow Power.
Join us for an immersive, magical Slow Power experience at the Land of the Medicine Buddha in the magnificent Santa Cruz Mountains.
Slow power is the clarity of intuition, vitality in the body, and openness of the heart that come from letting go and slowing life down. Unlike the “do more to get ahead” approach encouraged by our culture (that inevitably leads to resentment and burnout), this kind of power will leave you fulfilled and energized as you take your life to the next level.
During this retreat you will:
- Slow down to the peaceful pace of nature.
- Tune into your heart, and learn tools for deeper self-awareness and compassion.
- Practice regulating your nervous system so you can calm yourself in times of stress.
- Explore putting your needs first, and setting healthy boundaries, so you can say YES to what most deeply matters to you.
- Create quiet space and time to listen to your inner wisdom and hear what it wants you to know about creating the life YOU love.
What will we do?
We’ll be be forest bathing, walking, meditating, practicing qi-gong, journaling, learning…
Eating delicious vegetarian food, nourishing your soul, experiencing deep rest…
In the mountains and the forest, among a fabulous community of women.
There will be plenty of spaciousness and quiet time in nature for grounded self-connection and reflection.
And then?
You’ll return with more energy: refreshed, engaged, motivated and inspired.
You can bring these new tools and focus back into your life so you can get more done with less struggle, and feel inspired and joyful in the process.
Why now?
From a Chinese Medicine perspective, mid October is the perfect time to let go of the hustle-bustle of summer energy and start nourishing your yin energy for a healthy, balanced Fall and Winter.
If you’ve been feeling disconnected from yourself, your motivation and your power, and long to experience this deep slowing down…
You deserve a break. I would love for you to join us!
What past participants are saying…
“Before the retreat, I struggled with overdoing in all aspects of my life – running my own business, raising kids, keeping my marriage alive. I was giving so much to others, I constantly felt exhausted and burnt out. I had no idea how much I needed this retreat to help me create more space and presence so I could connect with and enjoy my work and family more.
On the retreat, I felt a huge shift experienced so much peace and lightness. By the third day, I pretty much floated out of there! The location of the retreat was amazing with the enchanted forest where I connected with a part of myself that I was not even aware of before. It was such a magical combination of realizing my inner beauty and light in a beautiful and peaceful setting!
I would and have absolutely recommended this retreat to any women who needs a little space to check in with yourself.” – Leah R.
