I took my first retreat in 2016. In the years preceding, my life underwent many changes. After 25 years, I went through a divorce, experienced the economy crash, taking my ceramics business with it, put myself through graduate school, and earned my therapist credentials. I was overwhelmed, burned out, and exhausted. I needed a place to heal.

While in Mexico, I turned off all the noise and distractions of my cell phone and iPad. Self-care was the theme of the week. I learned to listen to my body's natural rhythms; self-compassion was given freely. I learned to please my needs and desires. I learned how to be a human being, not a human doing.  When I returned, my family and friends wanted to know what or who happened to me. I felt renewed and restored to the person I once knew. 

My second vacation (retreat) was with girlfriends for our collective 60th birthdays. We went hiking in Utah, and the week was judgment-free, loving, supportive, and uplifting. Again I felt renewed and restored.

After these two events, I created a new part of my business called Renew and Restore. Under this umbrella, I wanted to host a retreat where other women could find a place to experience space to be yourself, a place to be pampered, off the grid, have restorative yoga, play in the turquoise waters, have a deep soul to soul conversations, grab a massage …  JUST BE!
