By Shannon Jamail If you’ve ever typed “retreat to reduce my stress” into Google at 2 a.m. while stress-eating tortilla chips and hiding from your to-do list… hey, I see you. You’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re on the right track. Because while vacations are nice, and spa days are dreamy, there’s a reason…
By Shannon Jamail Let’s talk about something that’s not just a trend- it’s a tidal wave. Women. Are. Retreating. And I don’t mean running away from life (although let’s be honest, sometimes that’s the fantasy). I mean women are seeking out intentional space, packing their bags, and heading to women’s stress reduction wellness retreats in record…
By Shannon Jamail So you’re thinking about attending a retreat. Maybe you’re feeling tired, tapped out, overwhelmed by life – or just plain over it. But if you’re anything like the amazing women who come to our retreats, there’s probably a little voice in your head saying, “Yeah, but what will I actually get out…
By Shannon Jamail I just wrapped up two amazing retreats in October. One at my ranch and one at my favorite beach. And y’all… my heart is full, my voice is raspy from laughter, and my soul is lit up. One thing I hear over and over from the women who attend our stress reduction retreats is…

Most women I meet are operating in survival mode. Running households, managing careers, tending to relationships, keeping the pets alive, maybe even parenting or caregiving (or both)- and somewhere in that chaos, we’re supposed to find time to work out, meditate, and get 8 hours of sleep?
