RIGHT HERE Retreat
for women who give all day,

Is this you?
- Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, because you are so busy taking care of everyone else, that you don’t have any time left for your own self care?
- Do you barely have time to feed yourself, never mind PROPERLY!
- Do you barely sit down, never mind chew your food or DIGEST your life experiences?
- Do you find yourself in a perpetual state of tummy in knots from constantly worrying about the future of your loved ones and what the baring the burden of that responsibility means for you?
- Is your own health is suffering because you are taking on more than you can handle and you are worried that it is only a matter of time before you are faced with your own health crisis because of it?
- Do you secretly resent having to put your dreams and passions on the shelf, because your loved one`s needs are taking up most of your day, and pretty much all of your energy (in just about every way!)?
- Do you suffer with a persistent anxiety about missing out or secretly fear that you might be running out of your own time to find, fully embody and embrace your life purpose?
- Do you sometimes feel so conflicted about your role as a caregiver, that at the end of the day you silently question yourself and even harbour guilt feelings because you wish things were different?
- Do you worry that you haven`t given enough and wonder if you should be giving EVEN MORE?
- Do you often find yourself totally bored, daydreaming and wishing that you were somewhere else?
- Do you ever wish that someone would truly see and acknowledge all that you give, the sacrifices you have made and the beauty of who you are to express your love in such a tangible way?
- Do you secretly (or not so secretly!) long for a day to yourself in an oasis of relaxation so that you can finally come back home to yourself in a group of people who truly understand and relate to what you are going through?
Soooo, Are You Ready To Show Up For Yourself?
Are you ready to step into a new future with a new circle of friends who understand what you are going through and who want to support you in a continuing practice of self care? Are you ready to show up for yourself and put the structures that you need in place that will support you to expand into a higher level of self care?
Or Struggle in Isolation, Overwhelm and Exhaustion?
Or, will you continue to struggle in isolation, overwhelm and exhaustion? Will it take a level of busyness that is so distracting, that you have to hit rock bottom before you STOP? Will you give up the opportunity to connect more fully with who you are and let your spirit take a backseat to all the urgency requests that have no hope of pause, allowing your soul’s desires to slip through yourfingers for yet another season?
Nothing Happens by Accident….
By virtue of being here and reading this far, you can rest assured that you are exactly where you need to be and something is definitely calling to you.
So, if your soul has been crying out for respite? If you've been seeking solace, a little more luxury in your life, community, support and practical tools to help you squeeze as much bliss out of each day as you can? Then your prayers have been answered! We are here to make that happen for you!
We can’t wait to see you at the retreat!
In Service to Your Self Care – and Luxurious Pleasure,

Luxurious Treats in Your Surprise Bag by
and more!
You’re Doing an Invisible and Often a Thankless Job
While the work of most caregivers is invisible and often a thankless job, WE understand the great importance, vast significance and intensity of what you do for your friends and family on a daily basis!
We know how you often suffer from sleepless nights, tension headaches, quiet boredom and utter exhaustion from the menial and often physically draining 24 hour on call work of care giving.
And How Do We Know That?
Because we are mothers, caregivers and survivors with tonnes of experience! And we have each cycled through all of these feelings ourselves at one time or another!
We know that the art of successful care giving is as much a precarious balance of being there for others, as it is a call to show up for ourselves.
Think that`s easier said than done? We are nodding our head in agreement with you!
If Your Own Needs and Desires Take Second Stage..
It is all too easy, isn’t it, to let our own needs and desires take second stage to the urgent, pressing and persistent needs of our little ones and loved ones?
While the Yoga of Self Care may be simple, we know that it isn’t necessarily easy to do and that just like yoga, it is a practice that we have to keep coming back to.
With that in mind (and the intention to give you a totally luxurious experience!) we have created a hands-on Urban Retreat to feed you, pamper you and empower you to explore more ways that you can love yourself up in a day, in less time than you ever thought possible!
A Little Urban Oasis
It is our intention to avoid intellectualizing or giving lip service to self care ideas and instead create a sacred space where you can embody what you learn in the present moment!
Under the Extreme Pressure of Care Giving
We have created a little urban oasis for you because we know that in the context of being under the extreme pressure of care giving, it is REALLY important to make a practice of regularly stepping outside of the daily context of our lives to recharge, rejuvenate and re evaluate how we can continually restructure our lives in way that we can both serve, and BE served.
Cultivate Self Care in the Mundane
We also know how important it is to be able to cultivate self care in the mundane day to day activities of our lives. And with that in mind we have included many simple acts of self care throughout the day that can be easily practiced in under 5 minutes or in the regular course of what you do in a day!
Most importantly, we know that you have an inherent need to be nurtured, as much as it is natural for you to take on the role of nurturing others.
In fact…
We Are All Responsible
Self Care is Not Even Enough to Support Your Work as a Caregiver
We believe that we are all responsible for raising the next generation and for embracing and providing for the needs of the elders of our community. This retreat is our way of supporting you to continue to do the amazing work that you do now, in a way that doesn't deplete you, but rather in a way that enriches your life!
Struggling to Make a Decision?
P.S. If you are still struggling to make a decision, you have an opportunity right now to gain some insight into some of the ways that you are keeping yourself from the abundant joy that is available to you each day regardless of where you are or who you are with.
And now for a little BONUS pre-retreat:
Journal Exercise for Some Insight Into What is Keeping You Stuck…….
When you hesitate to gift yourself this wonderful opportunity, what is your mind telling you (go get a notepad and write it all down).
Now, consider that everything that your mind is telling you is the same story you tell yourself over and over again that keeps you from getting what you want and NEED!
Notice how often you let these self sabotaging thoughts and limiting beliefs stop you in your tracks when you are on the verge of a breakthrough or transformation.
Now quiet your mind. What is your heart telling you to do? Follow that.
Sorry we are officially SOLD OUT for Saturday August 13th 10-6PM!
But if you are interested in joining us for the next retreat, please sign up for Beth's e-book "The Seven Secrets for Avoiding Caregiver's Burnout" (top right hand of the page) so that we can personally give you an opportunity to pre register for our next date (November 19th) at the EARLY BIRD investment of $197!
