RETREATS

Choosing to retreat is powerful and while a retreat can be life changing, more importantly ~ retreats change where we stand in relationship to our lives. This shift in relationship and perspective expands our capacity in beautifully surprising ways. From simply seeing things anew to being deeply renewed, the possibilities, connections and magical potential are infinite.

While a retreat is the ultimate investment in yourself, it is also an investment of your time, your financial resources and your trust. I deeply honor all that it means to choose to embark on retreat and offer support for each step of the way.

Whether you are an experienced world traveler or brand new to international travel – you will find the perfect level of support in booking arrangements for the perfect experience.

the sacred pause ~

JUNE 6 - JUNE 14, 2025

BRAČ ISLAND, CROATIA

when we pause … something deep within both stills & awakens. the witness self is pulled from the spell of the surface, of the outer. the pause creates a moment of infinite expansion in all directions. perhaps the sheer warmth & golden light of the sun are noticed in full, the fragrance of the breeze appreciated, the subtle & nuanced sensation of air on skin ~ we are fully present & this is the gateway to both wonder & inspiration.

in yoga ~ we enter & depart the pause, over & over with our breath. experiencing the fullness at the top of the suspended inhale, the sculpted & spare at the bottom of the suspended exhale. these pauses in respiration are referred to as “kumbhaka” ~ Sanskrit for “vessel” or “pot”. we are the vessel and kumbhaka is the holding or retention. this “no breath” space (pause) is where it happens ~ the infinitely expanding in all directions moment where we observe the eternal, assimilate the vast mystery, rest in awareness. this is a pause that is both gorgeous & safe ~ inviting the physical body into rest, digest, a soulful unspooling of tension.

this is the power of the pause. here, we are intentional in pausing ~ the sacred & the holy make themselves known here and we are replenished in all ways.

*Seva ~ I believe deeply in offering a portion of my time & energy to any community that I spend time in. On retreat, we give back in some way to the community where we are staying. The actual service is up to the community and could include things like removing invasive plant species, painting a community center, cleaning up a section of beach ~ or even, in 2023 ~ learning to play Bocce & participating in the local Bocce Tournament! The word Seva is Sanskrit, sourced from the Sanskrit root “sev” ~ it means to serve, selflessly. Our seva outing is always a beautiful offering & good time. Deeper connections are made here ~ both to the people & the place.
