❋
The Sacred Pause:
An Autumnal Reset
A gathering for women ready to come home to themselves.
Saturday, September 26 · 12:00–4:00 PM · $65
At a beautiful private location in Watsonville, CA
Some seasons ask everything of us.
Maybe you're rebuilding after a divorce or separation. Maybe you're learning who you are after loss, after retirement, after your kids have grown and left the house. Maybe your body is changing in ways no one prepared you for, and you're finding your way through menopause without a map. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to carry it alone.
As the season turns and the light begins to soften, step out of the noise of your everyday life and into an afternoon built entirely around you. No agenda to perform, nowhere to be but present. Just soil under your feet, women around you, and space to simply exhale.
-
This gathering is for you if:
You're in the middle of a life transition and craving a soft place to land
You're longing for real connection with other women, not small talk
You feel disconnected from your body, your intuition, or the earth beneath you
You're ready to release what these eclipse months have stirred up and start moving forward
You need permission to slow down, even for one afternoon
-
We'll spend the afternoon moving through a gentle rhythm together, no rushing, no performing:
Arrive & Ground — A short meditation to settle into the space and into ourselves
Move & Release — Gentle dance to live music, letting the body speak what words sometimes can't
Circle & Connect — Honest conversation about how we move forward from these intense eclipse months, together
Nourish — Farm-to-table food shared slowly, the way meals are meant to be
Reflect — Journaling and quiet time to hear your own thoughts again
Root — Walking barefoot in the garden, hands in the dirt, reconnecting to something steady and alive
Plus very special musical guest, Chelsea Marie!
-
Every woman leaves with more than she came with:
A bundle of pumpkins and butternut squash from the garden
Fresh, seasonal flowers
A little more space in her chest than when she arrived
New connections with women who understand exactly where she's standing
Meditation, movement, live music, farm-to-table meal, journaling materials, garden time, and your harvest to take home.
Location will be sent after registration.
This is one of my favorite gatherings of the year. A deeper dive into the collective of women who need a real retreat from their busy lives, even if just for an afternoon.
If you're ready to walk barefoot in the garden, get your hands in the dirt, and remember what it feels like to be held by community, I'd love to have you here.
xoxo,
Julie
