Joyful Journey
A Somatic Connection Retreat
November 19th – 22nd, 2026
Joyful Journey Hot Springs, Colorado
Limited to 8 women
A Pause Before the Holidays
Before the holidays arrive.
Before the pace quickens.
Before the gatherings, the expectations, the conversations that ask you to perform, explain, or hold it all together.
This retreat is intentionally placed the weekend before Thanksgiving as an invitation to come back to yourself first.
To reconnect with your body.
To settle your nervous system.
To remember who you are beneath the roles, responsibilities, and relational dynamics that often intensify at the end of the year.
So you can move into the holiday season anchored, resourced, and connected, rather than depleted or braced.
What Awaits You
✨ Unlimited soaking in the healing waters of Joyful Journey Hot Springs
✨ Daily guided sessions blending movement, breathwork, embodiment, and reflection
✨ A private yurt reserved for our small group, our sanctuary for practice, connection, and restoration
✨A labyrinth walk and tipi meditation for clarity and renewal
✨ Nourishing meals provided each day (Thursday dinner through Sunday breakfast)
✨ Spacious free time for what you most desire, soaking, walking, journaling, napping, or connection with new friends
You’ll Leave Feeling
✨ Grounded and centered in your body
✨ Clearer about what truly matters to you in the year ahead
✨ Rested and replenished from soaking, nature, and time away from daily demands
✨ Nourished by sisterhood, stillness, and soul-aligned practices
The Flow
We’ll begin Thursday evening with a welcome circle and gentle practice. Each morning will open with movement and breathwork, afternoons will include group sessions, and evenings will offer space for soaking, reflection, and rest.
Our final morning together will close with a labyrinth walk, sealing in your intentions as you return to daily life renewed.
(A detailed schedule will be shared closer to the retreat, but know that each day will include both guided practices and plenty of open space for rest and choice.)

A Different Way to Enter the Holidays
This is not about fixing yourself.
It’s about remembering yourself.
So when the season asks more of you, you have something to stand on.
Your body.
Your breath.
Your presence.
Your truth.
This retreat is limited to just 8 women to create intimacy, depth, and connection. Spaces will fill quickly.
