Spring Equinox

Women's Empowerment Retreat

March 20-23, 2025

Feeling stretched thin with never a moment for yourself amidst life's relentless demands?

You're not alone!

Whether you are:

👉 Juggling multiple responsibilities at work, home, and possibly caregiving roles leaves you feeling stretched thin, unable to find a moment to breathe.

👉 Constantly plugged into technology and obligations, you find yourself disconnected from your own thoughts, feelings, and desires, craving a deeper connection with yourself.

👉 Prioritizing the needs of others often comes at the expense of your own well-being, leaving you feeling depleted and neglected.

👉 The relentless pace of your life leads to burnout, draining you of energy and passion for your own dreams and ambitions.

👉 Despite yearning for change and personal growth, you may feel uncertain or fearful about taking the necessary steps to prioritize yourself and your goals.

...If this sounds like you, you're in the right place!

"...left me feeling re-ignited and cracked wide open in the best possible way"

This retreat left me feeling re-ignited and cracked wide open in the best possible way. Between yoga sessions (as a total newbie, I felt completely comfortable and cared for), awe-inspiring food at every meal, and conversations that served as soul-food, it’s an experience I’ll never forget.

There is something truly magical about being among other people, with an unspoken level of trust, vulnerability and understanding, void of any judgment. That was a resounding feeling throughout the retreat, and I’ll always cherish the impact of it all!

-Casey Cormier

This Retreat Is For You If...

you are sick of being stuck in Old Stories, Ruts, and Routines, and you are ready to Break Free from what has not been serving you, and use this Spring Equinox to imagine and create a better tomorrow!

WHAT TO EXPECT

We will use the inspiration of the Spring Equinox to plant seeds and embrace the practice of Becoming the version of you you deeply desire to be. As we transition from Winter to Spring, we are invited by nature to shake off the dormancy, shake off the heavy, and move into a state of intentional Joy!

Daily Yoga and Meditation Sessions: Start each day with rejuvenating yoga practices to center the mind and energize the body. Meditation sessions offer moments of stillness and reflection, promoting inner peace and mental clarity.
Creative Expression Workshops: Engage in various creative practices such as art, writing, and crafting. These workshops provide opportunities for self-expression, exploration, and tapping into latent talents and passions.
Empowerment Workshops and Teachings: Dive deep into empowerment workshops designed to unleash the inner badass. Participants will learn tools and techniques to overcome limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging patterns.
Self-Exploration and Reflection: Guided sessions for self-reflection and introspection, encouraging participants to gain clarity on their goals, values, and aspirations.
Outdoor Activities and Nature Walks: Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of nature with outdoor activities like hiking and mindfulness walks. Connect with the natural world and experience the healing power of the outdoors.
Community and Support: Build connections with like-minded women in a supportive and nurturing environment. Share experiences, insights, and challenges, fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie.

YES, I WANT IN!!

What people are saying...

Healing heartbreak...

"I healed from my heartbreak and grew to believe in my ability to manifest good things for myself. While I am a continuous work in progress I grew a lot with the community dear to my heart that I got from the retreat."

-Asena S.

Lifestyle practices to take with you...

"Pam and Val work so beautifully together to offer guidance and expertise in daily meditation, journal writing, creative expression activities, and group yoga sessions. I have totally added each of those to my current daily lifestyle practices."

-Dotty D.

Empowering and validating...

"The fact that it was an all-women event was empowering and validating. Women don’t get enough opportunities to hang with each other…and (Pam and Val) made everyone feel so welcome!"

Farm-to-Table Goodness

Like everything, the meals are amazing. Locally sourced, gluten-free, and heavy on vegetables. (If you have food restrictions let us know, our chef is happy to accommodate.)

Breakfast daily is based around Val's favorite slow cooker oatmeal. Along with a collection of fruits, hard-boiled eggs, breads, and cereals, breakfast is an "on your own" affair that is set out the night before to accommodate all schedules. Local coffee and tons of tea varieties round out the breakfast meal.

Lunch and Dinner are prepared daily and include some of my favorite recipes. Be prepared to be blown away by what there is to offer.

Sunday, following yoga, we are treated to a farewell brunch, including local farm-fresh bacon.

"...a moment that truly boosted my confidence..."

Attending Pam's retreat in Vermont was a transformative experience. The serene environment provided a perfect backdrop for deepening my practice, with stunning natural surroundings that fostered peace and focus. I vividly remember doubting my ability to do a handstand, thinking it was far beyond my reach. However, Pam's expert guidance and encouragement helped me achieve it in less than ten minutes, a moment that truly boosted my confidence. The retreat also featured amazing vegan food, offering a delicious variety of healthy meals that left me feeling nourished and energized. Pam's retreat was a perfect blend of challenge, relaxation, and exceptional hospitality.
