The Details:

The Women's Sacred Pause Retreat Nov 7-10, 2025 is a gathering of women in sacred circle in sacred place to dive into the 5 koshas or layers of self as we welcome ourselves HOME. We will explore this theme through gentle yoga, yoga nidra, nature rewilding, ayurveda, journaling, sound healing, and connection. This retreat is for conscious caregivers, holistic healers, and wisdom seekers to pause, rest & restore. 

Your Guides:

This retreat will be facilitated by Jennifer Allen. Jennifer has been practicing and teaching yoga for over 30 years. She has been leading retreats since 2019. In addition to being a retreat leader, Jennifer is a yoga instructor, Ayurvedic wellness counselor, soul purpose coach, and yoga nidra facilitator. She is the founder of the Easeful Yoga Collective where she supports women in crafting more rested lives through yoga, yoga nidra and connecting to nature. 

Special guest Anais Brown will provide collective sound healing with Tibetan singing bowls as part of the Sacred Pause experience. Individual sound healing sessions can also be scheduled through Anais. The individual sessions are very limited and are donation based.

Special guest Radha Swaller will provide Ayurvedic nourishment. 

The Price:

The price is $900 paid in full. The Sacred Pause Retreat is open to 12 women. 

The cost includes all retreat events and Ayurvedic lunches. Lodging is a separate cost and reserved through Joyful Journey. Lodging options include hotel rooms with private bathrooms, yurts with shared bathrooms, and RV campsites. The lodging rates include breakfast, dinner, and soaking. 

The Location:

We are gathering at Joyful Journey Hot Springs in the magical San Luis Valley of Southern Colorado. The weather in the San Luis Valley in November is cool with typical highs in the 40's and lows in the 20s. Joyful Journey is in a very rural location with very few amenities. It is about 3-3.5 hours from Denver, Colorado, which is the nearest large airport. Those flying in can arrange carpooling to the retreat center from the airport.
