Dates: Friday, September 18th, 7:00-9:00 PM Friday, October 9th, 7:00-9:00 PM Friday, October 30th, 7:00-9:00 PM Friday, November 20th, 7:00-9:00 PM Find your spot! Stop me if this sounds like you… You’re capable, self-aware, and you’ve probably already done a fair amount of inner work. Therapy, books, podcasts… You’re not someone who avoids looking at yourself. And yet you’re still exhausted, dysregulated, and holding everyone else up. Still waiting for your life to actually feel like yours. This is burnout in a high-functioning woman. Not the kind where you can’t get out of bed, but the kind where you never stop moving, and nobody around you can tell anything’s wrong. These mini retreats are for the woman who is tired of explaining herself and quietly desperate for a few hours where she gets to be in the receiving seat for once. Most healing approaches ask you to talk more, reflect more, do more. But when you’re a chronic over-functioner, even healing can start to feel like another responsibility you have to manage well. Laurie leads a group reading where she intuitively picks up on what’s actually going on beneath the surface. The things you’ve been carrying that nobody else can see. For a lot of women, this is genuinely the first time someone names what they’ve been feeling without needing them to explain or justify it first. Four dates with four themes. Return to Mind. Return to Body. Return to Soul. Return to Self. Come to the one that’s calling you, pick the dates that fit your schedule, or attend all four at a discounted rate and get consistent support plus a community that’s doing this alongside you. Held in St. Catharines, in the heart of the Niagara region. my soul needs this What to expect Channelled Guidance Through mediumship and intuitive guidance, Laurie names what you’ve been carrying before you’ve even found the words for it, offering insight and clear next steps for navigating whatever you’re facing. Guided Meditation Sink into deep relazation and regulation with a guided meditation to help you quiet the mind and connect inward. This is a moment to return to yourself, to your intuition and a higher power. Supportive Community Connect with other women who can see you, support you, and validate you. We all want to feel less alone, retreats give you just that and so much more. Integration Time to reflect, journal, share and integrate How do I know if a women’s Retreat is for me? You’re tired of being the strong one. You’re the one everyone leans on. The one who keeps it all together. But inside, you’re exhausted—and craving space where you don’t have to perform or explain. This is that space. You don’t have to carry it all here. done the “work”—but still feeL OFF You’ve read the books. Done the therapy. Tried the routines. But something still feels… off. These circles meet you in that space where logic ends and deeper self-connection begins. You don’t just want to talk more… You’re in your head all the time—planning, fixing, managing. You’ve talked about healing and your wounds, and now you want to feel grounded. This is where you get to soften, breathe, and remember what it’s like to feel fully human again. “Laurie has such a calming presence and is able to help you navigate your circumstances with grace and compassion.

Overthinking, mental fatigue, the constant background hum of “what am I forgetting” — this session is for quieting the noise long enough to hear what’s actually true underneath it. Return To Body Your body has been keeping score this whole time, even when you’ve been too busy to notice. Tight shoulders, shallow breath, a nervous system that doesn’t know how to rest — this session is for coming back into a body you’ve been managing instead of living in. Return To Soul Somewhere between the schedules and the roles you play for everyone else, it’s easy to lose track of who you actually are underneath it all. This session is for reconnecting to the part of you that existed before all the responsibility — the part that still knows what it wants. Return To Self This is the one that ties it together. Not another version of you that’s more productive or more healed — just you, trusted again. This session is for coming home to the woman underneath the over-functioning.
