A Weekend to Rest, Rejuvenate, and Reconnect
POWER OF PAUSE WOMEN'S RETREAT
April 25TH-26TH, 2026 Wanderstay Hotel | Houston, TX
You spend your days caring for everyone else, This is your invitation to pause and care for yourself.
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 curated weekend designed to help you breathe again. This isn't just another event, 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.
WHERE YOU'LL STAY
The retreat will be held at Wanderstay Boutique Hotel, a serene and intimate space designed for rest, renewal, and connection. We have a number of rooms available for booking. You can view more of the space and rooms by visiting here.
