A Weekend to Rest, Restore, and Reconnect

POWER OF PAUSE WOMENS RETREAT

JAnuary 24-25th, 2026 Wanderstay Hotel | Houston, TX

You spend your days caring for everyone else, This is your invitation to pause and care for yourself.

YOU DESERVE THIS PAUSE

You've been carrying so much. Juggling responsibilities, meeting expectations, pouring into others while running on empty.

It's time to come home to yourself.

Power of Pause is a sacred weekend designed to help you breathe again. This isn't just another event on your calendar, it's a gentle invitation to remember who you are beneath all the roles you play.

Over two transformative days, you'll be held in a nurturing space where rest isn't selfish, where slowing down is celebrated, and where your wellbeing becomes the priority. You'll connect with other women who understand the beautiful burden of giving so much, and together, you'll discover what it feels like to receive.

SATURDAY: AWAKEN YOUR SENSES

Begin your journey with intention. We're engaging all senses to ground you back into your body and your peace. Saturday is designed to gently pull you out of doing mode and into being mode.

SUNDAY: GROUND + GLOW

Start your Sunday grounded and inspired. Ease into the morning with intention, a nourishing breakfast, and heartfelt connection. Be uplifted by speakers who share real wisdom, hope, and practical insights from lived experience. In the afternoon, restore your body and mind through gentle body movement, meditation, and sound healing. We’ll close in circle, reflecting together and carrying the calm forward.
