About this trip

POWER & PURPOSE

2021 Women's Mountain Retreat - POSTPONED UNTIL LATE SUMMER - STAY TUNED

Raise your hand if 2020 seemed unusual. Did COVID disrupt or delay your plans, trips or important milestones? On top of that, did you experience a major life transition or upheaval that caused unexplained emotions to surface? Believe me, more earth-shattering revelations are on the horizon. Rather than just bracing  for more change, wouldn't you rather be centered internally so while it seems like the outside world is in chaos, you are firmly rooted and feeling empowered as you remain grounded and on purpose? Come to the mountains beautiful soul.


Let's face it, we were all impacted in some way this year that we didn't expect. Women in mid-life already experience several road bumps dealing with some form of death, divorce, disease, addiction or disaster. Then we have the hormonal issues!! Our bodies now respond differently. Even our beliefs and mindset have shifted.  Perhaps you’ve experienced the loss of your parents, or even the pains of identity as a mother with your firstborn, only or youngest child leaving the home. You have prioritized your children, family or a job before your own needs, but you want to create a new way of life. You may not have the whole picture in your mind, but something has awakened and shaken you to the core. You have a sense that there’s something more out there, but just need to have a place, a space and support for self-examination. 


If you want to reset or redesign your life and you have questions upon questions about who you are (and what your role is during these volatile times), this is an opportunity to gain more clarity in order to consciously create the life you desire. Transitions in life are blessings for growth. They inspire you to embrace change, helping you to gain strength and happiness as you grow into the person you know you are destined to be. Consider this retreat as an investment in yourself to explore the possibilities. There is the exponential power being surrounded by women who help flame the fire of your intentions. 


Within us all is a deep desire for validation and to be appreciated for what you do and who you are. First things first, you have to feel gratitude for yourself so you aren’t looking for others to fill a void for you. This means being present and making a conscious, deliberate determined effort to be focused on you. Distractions and excuses will always exist, but what you resist will persist. Without taking action, you can feel even more depressed, anxious, restless, unhealthy, lost or confused.


Imagine being courageous, confident, free, focused, empowered, balanced and able to trust and express yourself fully. Investing in yourself is a declaration that you are truly determined and inspired to create a difference in this world. You are ready. You are deserving. You need this to replenish your soul and to remember your true self. That’s why you need to be here.


To celebrate all that you are and all that you.

To have a nurturing space to reflect on the changes that are occurring in your life.

To invite in compassion and understanding for the emotions that you are feeling. 

To create a clear vision of what you want in this chapter of your life.


This 2021 Power & Purpose New Year retreat offers you an incomparable, holistic and transformational experience nurturing the body, mind and soul. We recognize the value of a change from the every day routine and an often hectic pace of life. In this long weekend where there are no worries and zero stress, we ensure the time to slow down so you can get clear and prepare for extraordinary journey manifesting your best life.


The retreat begins on the first full moon of the new year and completes on the first day of February (2/1/2021). This is a powerful Full Moon that honors the releasing of the old to make a pathway for you to manifest your dreams. We will have a special Full Moon ceremony to kick-off the transformational weekend. 


Have courage for change. Come...come join us in the mountains.

Reviews

I had never been to a yoga retreat and Berni‘s was my first one! She has an amazing gift for leading a retreat. Her calm nature, gentle voice, and wisdom made it an enjoyable and relaxing learning experience. I loved the location in Sedona, the amazing house she rented, and the healthy, organic, vegetarian food prepared by the private chef. I enjoyed the Reiki massage sessions, yoga twice a day, and the connectedness of the group . The retreat was worth every penny! I highly recommend going on a yoga retreat with her and I hope to go again soon! Sincerely, Anda Seale

This will be my THIRD retreat with Burning Journeys and I HIGHLY recommend this incredibly life-changing opportunity for women who want to hit the reset button, to become tuned in to their unique purpose, and reconnect with a tribe of women who are seeking the same with whom you have a sacred shared experience away from the hustle and bustle of life. Giving yourself permission and space to BE, to take time for YOU, to honor the divine feminine inside is not only a GIFT, it is an investment in your greatest asset - YOU! Berni Slowey is incredibly insightful, intuitive, empathic and has the natural ability of connection with others that is truly astounding. She is a game changer, period. An experience of this magnitude is not to be missed. Your take away will be renewed, refocused and recharged YOU .. with resources to support your journey .. It will enrich your life .. forever!
