Rest and Receive®

Learn how to maintain and return to those practices on-demand, continuing long after the retreat.

It’s not all “dolce far niente” sweet doing nothing time. Some adventure takes place, too!

Upcoming Retreats

With this Rest and Receive®, you are taken care of from arrival to departure in Zagreb, Croatia’s capital, and throughout our leisurely journey together in Istria, a triangular peninsula at the head of the Adriatic arm of the Mediterranean Sea.

We’ll explore spectacular locations of ancient history, including Roman temples, Colosseum and basilicas, medieval towns in refreshing natural settings, mystical stone hills, and ancient Goddess sites. We’ll also spend time in vibrant city settings, romancing our taste buds with gourmet organic food bursting with vitality.

We’ll incorporate morning movement and skillful workshops to teach you how to amplify, maintain and return to practices of self-rejuvenation on-demand, continuing after the retreat.

Past Retreats

We gathered for a transformative 3-day Rest and Receive® retreat at the stunning Skamania Lodge in the heart of the Pacific Northwest. Nestled in lush forests and overlooking the Columbia River, the lodge provided the perfect setting for deep relaxation and renewal.

Immersed in nature, we enjoyed gentle hikes and mindful movement sessions that reconnected us with our bodies and the world around us. Our time together balanced activity and rest, offering a much-needed opportunity to recharge physically and mentally.

We explored the art of moderation, delving into insightful workshops and practical exercises that helped us find harmony in our daily lives. These sessions equipped us with valuable tools to carry the retreat’s benefits far beyond our time at Skamania.

Between our sessions, we embraced moments of quiet reflection, enjoyed nourishing meals made from local ingredients, and unwound in the lodge’s cozy accommodations and luxurious amenities. The retreat was a true gift—an invitation to pause, reset, and receive.

We gathered for a mini Rest and Receive® retreat, a chance to restore and cultivate our personal power through rest, movement, and nourishment after a busy week. Set in a serene, tree-lined spot by the river—just minutes from downtown Portland—the setting provided the perfect backdrop for relaxation and connection.

As we arrived, we sipped on light libations, including lovely rosé, delicious wine, and refreshing non-alcoholic beverages, while getting to know one another and exploring the beautiful premises. A scrumptious family-style meal followed, thoughtfully crafted to accommodate all dietary needs (GF, V, VG options available).

Together, we engaged in delightful, workshop-style exercises, blending gentle movement in nearby nature with moments of reflection and fun. Upon arrival and departure, each participant received carefully curated gift bags, with one lucky guest taking home a special prize.

The retreat provided a nourishing space for women to connect, share experiences, and build lasting relationships—a beautiful reminder that true restoration comes when we allow ourselves to pause, receive, and be in community.
