The Exhale

That’s natural. Most women arrive with butterflies. You don’t need to show up “ready” — just willing. From the moment you step into the circle, you’ll be held with compassion, and everything unfolds at your pace.

No. You’ll never be pushed to share more than you feel comfortable with. Some women speak, some don’t — both are valid. Transformation happens through the practices, rituals, and energy of the space, not performance.

Absolutely. You don’t need prior experience — just a willingness to explore. Every practice is guided step by step, trauma-informed, and gentle. You’ll be supported whether this is your first retreat or your fiftieth.

The work can be powerful, but it’s never about ripping you open and leaving you exposed. You’ll be guided through safe release and then into grounding, integration, and nourishment. Women often leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected — not depleted.

• A journal and pen for reflection and exercises

• A water bottle to keep hydrated

• Comfortable clothing you can move in (layers work well)

• Slip-on shoes for moving between the sanctuary and my home if needed

• If you’d like, you can bring a small item, crystal, or personal memento to place on the altar. This can be something meaningful to you — a symbol, a stone, a token of intention — anything that feels aligned with your journey for the day. This is entirely optional, but it can deepen your connection to the retreat’s energy.

All mats, cushions, blankets, and props will be provided for you to fully relax and settle into the space.

Yes, accessible inside the house. Slip-on shoes are recommended for easy access between the sanctuary and the facilities.

Please note that I have a friendly dog on the premises — he’s lovely and sociable, but has no spatial awareness, so if you’re not into dogs, this might not be the space for you.
