Midlife Reinvention & Renewal Retreat: Reclaim Your Midlife Mojo in Uncertain Times 

Are you a woman standing at the threshold of “what’s next?”
Maybe the roles you've played—mother, partner, professional, caregiver—no longer define you the way they used to. You feel a stirring inside, a quiet whisper that there's more. More meaning. More joy. More you. 

But if you're honest, you may also be feeling stuck, overwhelmed by uncertainty, or just plain tired of holding it all together.

Especially now, with the state of our world leaving so many of us feeling anxious, untethered, and unsure of the future… It’s no wonder you’re craving clarity and peace.

Let us ask you this:

• Are you navigating a transition—divorce, career shift, empty nest, or simply a shift in your soul?
• Have you lost touch with your passion, your purpose, or that spark that once lit you up?
• Are you ready to reconnect to your inner wisdom, embrace this powerful phase of life, and become the most aligned and radiant version of yourself?

If you’re nodding your head, then this retreat is exactly what your soul has been calling for.

🌙 Welcome to a Weekend of Mystical Mindfulness, Soulful Sisterhood, & Sacred Self-Discovery

Join us in the quaint Colorado town of Niwot, right outside of Boulder, for a heart-opening, body-soothing, soul-nourishing weekend retreat created specifically for women in midlife and beyond.

This isn’t just a retreat—it’s a rebirth.

Imagine waking up to crisp air and birdsongs, sipping tea in the time you have set aside to focus on yourself and your soul. Engage in practices that honor your growth: gentle movement, guided meditations, intimate women’s circles, nature hikes, private dinner parties, and mystical mindfulness ceremonies designed to help you access your inner wisdom.

We lovingly refer to it as “Mystical Mindfulness”—an ancient way of accessing inner clarity and reprogramming outdated patterns. You’ll be gently supported in rebalancing your mind, body, and spirit through sacred ceremony, natural plant rituals, and guided inner journeys.

You’ll return home not just refreshed but renewed.
Not just restored, but reconnected.
Not just relaxed, but reawakened to the woman you’re becoming.

🌺 This Retreat Is For You If You’re Ready To:

• Release old stories about what midlife should look like
• Step into a new version of yourself—one that feels more aligned, confident, and free
• Break through the overwhelm and reawaken your purpose and power
• Cultivate real connections with other wise women walking the same path
• Feel held, seen, and supported in a sacred, nurturing space

🌀 Your Sacred Experience Includes:

• A guided mystical mindfulness ceremony and intention-setting circle
• Sound healing, guided meditations, and embodied movement
• Restorative yoga and goddess rituals under the moonlight
• Nourishing prepared meals and soul conversations
• Tools and practices you can carry home to sustain your transformation
• Private time for reflection, journaling, and deep integration
• Rejuvinate with On-Site Spa Services 

Spaces are extremely limited—this is an intimate experience designed for a small group of women ready to step into the next chapter of their lives with grace and fire.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment… this is it.
If you've been waiting for a sign… this is your invitation.

You are not meant to do this alone.
Come home to yourself in community, clarity, and connection.

🌸 Reserve your spot now. Your future self will thank you.

Mystical Mindfulness is our proprietary form of meditation designed to gently guide clients into a state of non-ordinary consciousness, where deep inner wisdom can be accessed and explored. Rooted in contemplative tradition yet infused with modern therapeutic insight, Mystical Mindfulness blends breath, presence, and evocative, mystic music to create an immersive meditative "journey."

In this altered state of consciousness, clients are invited beyond ordinary thought into the rich, symbolic, and soulful realms of their own inner landscape. The experience is both grounding and expansive, offering a sacred space for insight, clarity, and connection to the deeper self. Whether used as a standalone practice or integrated into psychedelic-assisted therapy, Mystical Mindfulness opens the door to profound self-discovery and transformation

We will check into our weekend retreat home and settle in. At 6 pm, we will meet for dinner and discussion of our intentions for the weekend. 

 Friday morning mindfulness Meditation and yoga

· Breakfast and Intention setting circle

· Guided mystical Mindfulness experience (in your own space but supported)

Explore and integrate the wisdom and insights that were gifted to you on your journey. Heather and Monica will help you make meaning and develop a path to integrate your new insights to create lasting change and on your personal path of self awareness

Together we gather as women in a circle by the light of the moon to celebrate our inner wisdom and divine ancestral power

A final feast to toast our journeys and collective wisdom
