Women's Wellspring Retreat: A deep rest and whole-hearted reset for OTs and Women who hold so much

A deeply embodied retreat for women in caring roles — OTs, therapists, leaders and space-holders — who are ready to move from burnout to embodied aliveness.

This is not just rest — it’s a reclamation.
In this immersive retreat, we’ll move gently but powerfully through a journey of nervous system reset, burnout recovery, sensory and sensual awakening, and rewriting the unconscious patterns that keep us depleted. You’ll reconnect with pleasure, presence, and purpose — not as concepts, but as embodied truths.

Through somatic practice, breath, stillness, movement, and deep rest, we will:

• Regulate the nervous system and shift out of survival mode
  
  

• Explore the roots of burnout and rewrite the patterns that keep you overgiving
  
  

• Awaken joy, sensuality, and full-bodied aliveness
  
  

• Tap into your body’s innate wisdom as your guide for leadership and life
  
  

• Build your capacity to lead, live, and serve from your inner wellspring — not from depletion
  
  

This retreat is an invitation to come home to yourself — and rise from there.
