VIBRANT LIVING ANNUAL WOMEN’S RETREATS

JANUARY 16th – 19th, 2025
Release
Whether you are soaring into this retreat completely on top of your game, crawling here barely staying afloat in your life, or somewhere in between, we all have something to release. Our conscious and unconscious wounding from past events of our life affect everything we do – how we show up in relationships, how we perform at work, how we react to life, and how much we are able to offer the world.
When we release these wounds and traumas and break through the blocks that limit our growth, we free up and create space within our heart and soul to expand and create the life we desire.
We invite you to trust your inner guidance that has led you here. Step into this safe space. Take a deep breath (or two). Relax fully. And release.

We have intentionally curated a 4 day repose from life, designed to allow you to ground, heal, integrate and leave with your soul soaring! You will return to the woman you were born to be, feeling a sense of connection with your authentic self, and with the ability to gracefully navigate all of life.
Women are uniquely designed to handle a lot in life. We naturally multitask. We nurture. We lead. We set the tone for our home and our community. At our best we do this with grace and ease. But the demands of life in our hectic and fast-paced society take their toll on our bodies, minds, and souls.
Each day is carefully crafted to ease you into vulnerability, connection and expansion, with restful times to rejuvenate. This retreat is not for the faint of heart! You will be stretched and challenged. You will also be cared for and loved. There may be tears. There will be laughter and joy!

“A friend may be waiting behind a stranger’s face ” ~Maya Angelou
Research shows that human connection is a fundamental human need that directly impacts our mental and physical health and contributes to a happier, healthier, and longer life.
Not only will we provide an opportunity to make or deepen connections with some amazing women, but together we’ll explore the pathways to our higher selves, uncovering the wisdom, resilience and joy that lives within us all.
Through heart-centered conversations, empowering activities, and moments of introspection, you’ll connect, not only with the best version of yourself, but also with kindred spirits and awaken a profound sense of belonging and purpose. Let this be your invitation to reconnect, rise, and thrive with the support of a sisterhood that truly understands and celebrates you.
Energy / Body work
Unlock your inner vitality through energy work at Vibrant Living Retreats, where deep healing and rejuvenation await. Our skilled practitioners offer a variety of rare energy healing modalities to restore harmony and balance within your mind, body, and spirit.
Join us to reconnect with your inner light, heal from within, and leave feeling revitalized and empowered!
Each unique session aims to release blockages, reduce stress, and enhance your natural energy flow, fostering a profound sense of well-being and inner peace. Complement your energy work with other holistic activities, such as yoga, meditation, and bodywork to create a deeply transformative experience.
Sound Healing
All of life is made of energy vibrating at a certain frequency. We utilize sound throughout the retreat, intentionally crafting high vibrational playlists and playing instruments such as sound bowls, gongs, rattles, etc. to positively impact your body, mind and our environment. Sound healing sessions are designed to guide participants on a journey inward, facilitating a release of emotional blockages and encouraging energetic alignment. As the sound waves wash over the group, they foster a meditative state, helping women reconnect with their inner selves, ease anxiety, and enhance their overall sense of peace.
Testimonials:
“The thing that has made the biggest impact on me is first, how beautiful that all of the exercises and experiences we had wove together and built on each other and somehow created this cohesive, beautiful weekend. Something I learned in one session came out in another session and it brought this whole level of healing so it was beautiful how it came together. The other thing that really impacted me from this weekend was how everyone showed up. We had such a beautiful group of women from diverse backgrounds and together as everyone showed up, their healing helped me heal. Their stories helped me find peace in my heart and together we collectively we helped lift each other and it was the most incredible experience to feel that strength in a group of women.” – McKenzie

Yoga
Move your body and discover bliss and tranquility within through yoga that is more than just a practice- it’s a path to inner peace and mastery. Cultivated in a safe, loving environment, our retreat offers multiple daily yoga sessions, led by experienced instructors, tailored to all skill levels. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or curious beginner, you’ll find a welcoming space to connect with your body, mind and spirit. Whether you are soaring in a kundalini class, restoring in yoga nidra, grooving in a flow practice, or surrendering to yourself through yin, your yoga experiences will leave you feeling refreshed, balanced, and inspired.
Breathwork
It’s like a massage for your mind. Breathwork is a simple & powerful practice that reliably creates calm, clarity, and self-awareness. You tap into deeper levels of relaxation, release, and insight, helping you break through stress and uncover your full potential.
Breathwork begins with an intention, your desire for life. Then with self-awareness, uncovering patterns and emotions that shape your life. Through conscious breathing, you gain clarity and deeper understanding of your desires, guiding you toward your full potential.
You align with your true purpose, embracing authentic growth and a higher sense of fulfillment.
Breathwork creates states of transcendence—moments of deep connection and insight that shift your perception and elevate your life experience.
This ultimately leads to an elegant lifestyle, characterized by intentionality, grace, and inner balance, creating a life of quality, simplicity, and beauty.
Transformational Group Coaching
Your life will change when your thoughts change. Discover the unconscious patterns of your thoughts that create your life. Bringing these patterns into your conscious awareness will empower you to create lasting, life-long changes.
Through intentionally crafted group discussion, NLP techniques, and journaling exercises, you will identify disempowering thoughts and interrupt the looping patterns that these thoughts cycle through your life. This will empower you to choose thoughts that reflect your true authentic self and to step into your unique life purpose.
Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini yoga is referred to as the yoga of awareness. It is a spiritual and transformative form of yoga that focuses on awakening the dormant spiritual energy within the body lying at the base of the spine known as Kundalini. The practice works to transform and raise this energy through various methods to attain higher consciousness and the experience of your true self.
Some of the benefits of Kundalini Yoga include:
- Increased self-awareness and spiritual growth.
- Enhanced physical strength, flexibility, and stamina.
- Stress reduction and improved emotional balance.
- Increased focus, mental clarity, and creativity.
- Enhanced energy levels and vitality.
- Balancing and harmonizing of the chakras.
Food
At our annual women’s retreat, we believe that true wellness begins from within. Our dedicated personal chef curates an exquisite menu of plant-based wholefoods, focusing on raw, nutrient-dense ingredients that invigorate both body and soul. Each meal is crafted with love and mindfulness, using only the freshest, locally-sourced produce as possible to ensure optimal nourishment.
Our culinary philosophy is rooted in the idea that food is medicine. We carefully select ingredients known for their ability to support emotional balance, enhance physical energy, and promote overall well-being. From vibrant salads bursting with color to hearty, satisfying entrees, every dish is a celebration of nature’s bounty.
Whether you’re savoring a refreshing smoothie bowl at breakfast, enjoying a light, flavorful lunch, or indulging in a gourmet dinner, you’ll experience the profound benefits of a diet rich in whole, unprocessed foods. Our meals are designed to not only delight your taste buds but also provide sustained energy and emotional resilience throughout your retreat journey.
Join us in embracing the power of plant-based eating, and discover how nourishing cuisine can elevate your retreat experience, leaving you feeling revitalized and deeply connected to yourself and the world around you.

Shawna
Assistant Chef, Kundalini Yoga Teacher
Shawna (aka Dharma Jeet) has been a lifelong student of self actualization and a committed seeker of God. She grew up in a small town in Wisconsin, and always felt a little out of place; coming up with ideas in childhood unheard of by her tribe, like vegetarianism, seeking religion, & (later in life), abstaining from alcohol (in a land obsessed with beer, cheese & Packer games). When she was 20 years old, her mother introduced her to her first yoga class and she was hooked.
She practiced various forms of hatha yoga (including vinyasa, hot yoga, & yin) for 25 years before she found her way to Kundalini yoga. Her first class was nothing short of life changing and with only a handful of classes under her belt, she embarked on the journey of becoming a teacher, which felt like a return to herself.
Sensitive by nature and attuned to the emotions of others, she enjoys connecting with fellow humans and listening to others share the highs and lows of life. She is a wearer of many hats, including; wife, mother, sister, friend, daughter, realtor, homeschooling parent, health educator, teacher & death midwife.
In her “spare time”, she enjoys adventuring with her daughter, doing yoga of course, hiking, reading, drinking smoothies in the sun and all things healing and self care.
