Highlights

  • A Retreat for Women: A thoughtfully held space for women to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and be supported in community.

  • Small, Intimate Women’s Circle: A consciously small group of women allowing for trust, deep listening, and meaningful connection.

  • Nervous-System-Informed Pace: Gentle, optional practices designed to support regulation, rest, and safety rather than pushing or performance.

  • Nature as Co-Regulator: Time in nature, forest walks, and outdoor stillness that support grounding, restoration, and presence.

  • Rest as a Practice: Rest is woven throughout the retreat as a lived, embodied experience rather than something earned.

Schedule

As spring gives way to summer, nature reminds us of the beauty in transition—a time to restore, recover, and step into a season of growth and renewal. You are a woman who wears many hats—nurturer, achiever, dreamer—but deep down, you know there is more. Beneath the roles and responsibilities lies a radiant, authentic essence that is calling you to reconnect. This retreat invites you to pause and rejuvenate in the serene surroundings of Cedar Springs Lodge. Through mindfulness, movement, and soulful connection, we’ll guide you in reclaiming the parts of yourself that may have been set aside along the way. This is your time to rest, reflect, and step into the season ahead with clarity and vitality. This Is For You If... You feel caught between traditional expectations and modern-day pressures. You’ve been yearning to reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been set aside. You want to cultivate a deeper sense of freedom, joy, and alignment. You’re ready to rejuvenate your spirit and embrace your true self. You crave time away to recharge, reflect, and rediscover your inner strength. What You Will Gain: A renewed sense of clarity and purpose. Practical tools to ground and nurture your mind, body, and spirit. Embodied practices to embrace freedom, joy, and creativity in your daily life. Deeper self-awareness and a connection to your authentic essence. The support of a community of like-minded women walking a similar path.

Testimonials

info

Jigna was a wonderful guide to a weekend full of activities that nurtured my soul. There was such a lovely mix of events that facilitated connections with self, others, nature, and the big picture, whatever that may be for you. She was able to create a unique space of safety, both calming and energizing, that enriched my life through the weekend and beyond. I highly recommend attending a retreat with Jigna and allowing her to be your teacher and guide.

From the moment I arrived at the Sacred Pause Retreat, I felt ease, wonder, and gratitude. Jigna’s soulful, joyful guidance through meditation, yoga, ritual, and dance created a transformative weekend. From soaring eagles to river and fire ceremonies, every experience helped me reconnect with my free, creative, love-filled self. I treasure this retreat and can’t wait to join Jigna again.

Jigna’s Sacred Pause retreat was a warm hug for my soul. Every moment felt intentional, creating space for deep rest, reflection, and true connection. I left feeling transformed—able to slow down, honor my needs without guilt, and say no when I need to. I’m so grateful for this beautiful experience (and the AMAZING food!) and can’t wait for Jigna’s next offering.
