A Sacred Pause
All-gender Self-care Retreat Fall 2025
Friday Oct. 10th - Monday Oct. 13th
at Doe Bay Resort on Orcas Island
This is the first-ever
Self Care Creature retreat
and it’s intentionally spacious.
A place to come as you are. To slow down.
To be in your body. To be in community — without pressure.
Think spa, rest, nourishing meals, yoga, and quiet connection.
We will gather in the Retreat House at Doe Bay Resort
in the San Juan Islands, surrounded by forest and sea,
held in a rhythm of rest and reconnection.
You have the option of staying in a bedroom at the Retreat House
or booking your own lodging either
at Doe Bay Resort or elsewhere on the island.
Slow DownRest is necessary. For our cells to recover, our bodies to integrate, to find alignment in our lives.
It’s the secret to actually following through. This is your permission slip to rest without guilt, pressure, or productivity. A serene, luxurious setting to take a deep breath and simply be. |
ReconnectConnection is vital. Not just to yourself, but with others.
This retreat is an intentional blend of both. In our inclusive space, we invite you to take off the masks and get curious about what’s underneath the daily show. Nothing is forced, and there are no expectations — just shared presence and real care. |
Create SpaceFeel into some spaciousness in your life. Let it be sacred, supportive, and completely yours. Einstein realized that spaciousness isn’t a void; it’s where insight has room to arrive! Come move gently, soak in the waters, be held by nature, and listen for what you actually need, what you actually enjoy.

Is it For You?

This retreat is inclusive of all gender identities.
While women’s retreats are common (and powerful), this space was created with a broader invitation in mind, one that welcomes nonbinary and queer folk, while also gently encouraging men to step into spaces of rest, reflection, and care. We’re especially calling in those who are open to slowness, curiosity, and connection. Those ready to soften, be present, and show up respectfully in shared space. This is for the tender and the curious. For those craving less noise, more connection. For anyone in need of a sacred pause. No experience required — just bring your full self. |
