What retreaters from our prior retreats are saying!
"...left me feeling re-ignited and cracked wide open in the best possible way"
This retreat left me feeling re-ignited and cracked wide open in the best possible way. Between yoga sessions (as a total newbie, I felt completely comfortable and cared for), awe-inspiring food at every meal, and conversations that served as soul-food, it’s an experience I’ll never forget.
There is something truly magical about being among other people, with an unspoken level of trust, vulnerability and understanding, void of any judgment. That was a resounding feeling throughout the retreat, and I’ll always cherish the impact of it all!

"...a moment that truly boosted my confidence..."
Attending Pam's retreat in Vermont was a transformative experience. The serene environment provided a perfect backdrop for deepening my practice and turning inward, with stunning natural surroundings that fostered peace and focus. In the spirit of getting into my body, I vividly remember doubting my ability to do a headstand, thinking it was far beyond my reach.
However, Pam's expert guidance and encouragement helped me achieve it in less than ten minutes, a moment that truly boosted my confidence. Pam's view that anything is possible when you know the path, was the deeper lesson here.
The retreat also featured amazing vegetarian food, offering a delicious variety of healthy meals that left me feeling nourished and energized. Pam's retreat was a perfect blend of challenge, relaxation, and exceptional hospitality.

RETREAT LEADERS
Pam Godbois, LICSW, E-RYT 500, Life Coach
As a therapist and coach with over 20 years of experience, I’ve dedicated my work to helping women heal past wounds, build resilience, and reconnect with their true selves. My own journey with chronic inflammatory illness has shown me firsthand how deeply stress, trauma, and emotional baggage manifest in the body—something so many women silently carry. This understanding fuels my passion for guiding others through deep healing, nervous system regulation, and self-discovery.
At this retreat, I’ll be weaving together yoga, meditation, and transformational coaching to help you release what no longer serves you, realign with your authentic self, and step into a life of greater ease and vitality. This is more than just a weekend away—it’s an opportunity to reset, restore, and remember who you truly are.
Val Leyton, LCMHC, RYT 200
As a therapist and yoga teacher, I’ve spent years helping women navigate the weight of caregiving, grief, and life’s many transitions. Through my own struggles with health and caregiving, I’ve learned just how essential it is to slow down, listen to our bodies, and prioritize our own well-being—not just for survival, but for true healing.
At this retreat, I’ll be guiding you to breathe deeply, release what’s been weighing you down, and cultivate resilience from the inside out. With a mix of mindful movement, reflection, and a whole lot of laughter, we’ll create space for you to nurture your body, mind, and spirit—so you can return home feeling lighter, stronger, and more aligned with your true self.
