Do you need heart and body restoration? Of course you do, we all do, and we don’t get it often enough.
You might also need vocation restoration, as in “I’m hungry for the next iteration of what I’m here to do, I’m hungry to do something for the world and I don’t want to wear hemp and be all uptight while doing it.”
“Jen, I wish that I could show you the places in my mind you have opened, the places in my heart you have healed, the places in my spirit you have enlivened. I wish I could show you, because they are real, not tangible, but real.” –Joanna Meriwether
My retreats have changed thousands of women’s lives. Women have launched new careers, written books, staged art shows, gotten pregnant, and all kinds of s-heroic missions because they rested and listened to themselves.
“Going on your retreat was life altering; it was life saving. I had completely lost myself. I was overweight. I was an emotional eater. My energy was low. And very rarely was I ever actually ‘present.’ I always had this nagging feeling that I should be doing something else.
After just 1 year:
- I’ve lost 40 (yes FORTY) pounds.
- I’m doing the work I love.
- I’m seeing incredible success serving people I love.
- I’m fully in joy in every single area of my life.
- I LOVE the present moments in my life.
- The quality of time I spend with my daughter and family has improved dramatically.
- I can honestly say ‘I’m Happy.’
Up until the retreat, it had been YEARS since I had taken any real me time. Jen, I can’t thank you enough for putting your work out in the world.” –Jenn Givler
“Your retreat was the most wonderful, needed, joyful, mindful and juicy ‘event’ I have been to in 5 years. I felt the most taken care of and supported then I ever came close to feeling at others’ retreats and events. I am so grateful to you, to your work and to your spirit. Just in the short time I have known you, you have impacted me in profound ways and I feel lucky to have crossed your path.” –Melani Ward
