A softer way to spend a weekend
Awaken the Light is an intimate wellness retreat created for women who want to step away from the pace of everyday life and return to what feels nourishing.
“This weekend is not about filling every hour. It is about creating space for the moments in between.”
A JOURNEY FOR YOUR SOUL
Arrive. Restore. Carry it forward.
From Friday evening through Sunday afternoon, the entire inn will be reserved exclusively for our retreat. Arrive, settle in, and leave the planning and everyday responsibilities behind.
Some moments will be quiet and personal. Others will bring the group together through conversation, shared experiences, and laughter.
-
Yoga and mindful movement
-
Breathwork and sound baths
-
Restorative practices and soulful connection
-
Unhurried time to rest, wander, or enjoy a warm drink in a quiet corner

Little surprises throughout the experience
Make room for the in-between
Exhale. Feel present.
Remember what it feels like to simply be.
If the weather allows, gather around an outdoor campfire beneath the evening sky. Enjoy the inn’s outdoor sauna, hot tub, cold plunge, and cold shower, or take a peaceful walk near the ocean.

A BEAUTIFUL COLLABORATION
I will host alongside my sister Stephanie, a yoga teacher who has shared yoga and retreat experiences in her community.
Together, we bring our experience, energy, and love for this work to create a warm weekend with meaningful practices and thoughtful touches.
