A Sacred Pause Fall Retreat

Sunday October 18, 2026

A day to rest, release, and come home to yourself.

We're returning to Wisdom Gardens

An Invitation To Pause

Our first gathering here was so special, so warm and restful and quietly magical, that I knew we had to come back. And there's something fitting about returning now, as the trees begin to let go, releasing what they no longer need without effort or grief, simply because it's time.


Nature makes it look so easy. What might it feel like to let yourself do the same?

This is my invitation to you, and to a small circle of women in midlife and beyond: step away from the noise and the endless to-do lists, even just for a day, and gently set down what you've been carrying, so you can come home to yourself.

The Location

Wisdom Gardens

Tucked into the forest in East Gwillimbury, Wisdom Gardens is a peaceful wellness retreat wrapped in trails and tranquil gathering spaces.

A wood-burning sauna, a magnesium pool, and a hot tub to soak in. It's the kind of place your whole body exhales the moment you arrive.

How the day unfolds.

A Gentle Journey to Release

Our whole day moves softly through one quiet question: what am I ready to release? Not through effort or digging, but through softening, noticing, and letting go.

Arrive & soften Breath focused yoga and guided self-inquiry to land in your body and notice what you've carried in with you.

Clear & release An energy clearing meditation to rebalance and let go of what's ready to move on.

Wander A guided fall colour walk through the trails, the forest quietly showing us how it's done.

Surrender Yoga Nidra, deep rest and a full nervous-system reset. Sink into the spaciousness that's left.

Gather at the fire We close around the fire, with a gentle, optional moment to set down whatever you're ready to leave behind.

Woven through the day: leisure spa time in the sauna, magnesium pool, and hot tub, plus a beautifully catered lunch, tea, and nourishing snacks, all included, so you can simply receive.

Your Guide

Hi I'm Lisa

For over twenty years I've been immersed in yoga, breathwork, meditation, and energy healing, and for the past decade I've had the joy of walking alongside women in midlife as they find their way back to themselves.

My work isn't about adding one more thing to your already full life, or pushing through another program. It's about pausing, softening, and letting your own heart's wisdom lead you home. That's where the real clarity and ease live.
