◆

You have built a beautiful life.
And something in you is asking for more.

From the outside, your life looks like something to be admired. You are capable, intelligent and deeply responsible. Done real work on yourself. Aware of your conditioning, attachment style, and patterns.

And still there is a tension or exhaustion that will not fully resolve. A knowing that the version of you that got you here is not the version that is meant to take you forward. Not because something is wrong, but because something is ready.

You are not lacking insight or effort. What is required now is an experience that speaks directly to the body, the nervous system, the deeper truth within.

She evolves.
Into who she was always becoming.

Who this is for

This retreat was created for a specific kind of woman.

You are not a beginner. You are not in crisis. You are at a threshold.

What makes this different

This is not a retreat where you listen
to someone else's wisdom.

It is where you access your own.

Most retreats offer content: frameworks, practices, processes. This one offers something rarer. A container safe enough, and deep enough, for you to actually encounter yourself fully. What you leave with is not a new set of tools. It is a different relationship with the intelligence you already carry.

Clinically held.

Between us, we bring decades of clinical and somatic practice so you are supported at every layer: nervous system, emotional, psychological, spiritual.

Emergent, not scripted.

The work meets what is actually present in the room so you stop looking outside yourself for answers and start trusting what arises from within.

High touch from start to finish.

Preparation before. Attuned care during. Real integration support after. You will be deeply held through this process.

Intimate container. Intentionally chosen.

Women are accepted by application, with attention to depth, readiness, and the particular alchemy of who is in the room together.

The retreat

Six days. One arc.

Each day holds its own invitation. Each builds on the last.

Day 1 · Sunday
Arriving
Slowing Down

Most women arrive carrying far more than they realize. The first day is an invitation to step out of your usual rhythm and settle into a different one — slower, quieter. There is nothing to accomplish here. Only an invitation to arrive fully and allow yourself to be held.

Day 2 · Monday
Heart Journey
Hearing Yourself Again

When life becomes quieter, we begin to notice what has been difficult to hear. This happens through a fully guided ceremonial Heart Medicine Journey held by Sukhi and Brea. This day is devoted to deep listening, exploring the ways of being that may be shaping your experience — not to fix anything, but to see more clearly with deep love.

Day 3 · Tuesday
Letting Go
What Are You Carrying?

Over time, we all accumulate things that no longer serve us: responsibilities that were never ours to carry, identities that once fit but no longer do. This day creates space to explore what may be ready to be released. Not through force, but through honesty.

Day 4 · Wednesday
Remembering
Trusting What You Know

Beneath the noise of everyday life, there is often a deeper knowing that has been present all along. Many women arrive believing they need more answers. What they often discover is that they already know far more than they think. This day is about learning to trust what you know.

Day 5 · Thursday
Emerging
What Comes Next

By this point, something has usually begun to shift. The pressure to figure everything out often softens. This day creates space for what is emerging — not forcing an answer, but listening for what feels true and allowing the next step to reveal itself naturally.

Day 6 · Friday
Returning
Bringing It Home

The retreat may be ending, but the work does not stop here. Before leaving, we will explore how to integrate what you have experienced in a way that feels practical and sustainable. Your support continues through two integration sessions and three weeks of individual guidance with Brea and Sukhi.

What's included

Everything you need to be fully held.

The Heart Journey

At the core of this retreat is a guided Heart Medicine Journey, held with clinical care, deep reverence, and unwavering presence.

Heart medicine, when held with intention inside an expertly prepared container, can quiet the part of you that narrates, defends, and protects — and create a profound felt-sense of safety in the body. From that safety, what has been stored and carried for years can finally be seen and processed. Many people access a depth of love and forgiveness, for themselves and others, that the guarded mind rarely allows.

For high-capacity women who have spent years in their heads — managing, achieving, holding — this can feel like coming home to yourself after a very long absence. The self-criticism quiets. The armor comes down. The worthiness is deeply felt. The inner wisdom that has been trying to get through becomes clear.

Sukhi brings CIIS and MAPS certified psychedelic-assisted therapy training. Brea brings years of heart medicine facilitation in intimate ceremonial containers with women. Together, they hold this with the skill, depth, and reverence it deserves.

The heart journey takes place on Day 2 of the retreat. The remaining days are held as spacious, supported integration: the land, the lake, the women around you, and both facilitators present for everything that follows. Full details are shared with accepted applicants.
What we'll explore

What we will explore together.

While there are themes we return to, the experience itself is shaped by the women who are present — and what feels most alive to move through together.

Throughout the retreat, we will spend time with the patterns, expectations, responsibilities, and identities that may no longer fit the woman you are becoming. We will look at what happens when you stop trying to force clarity and begin creating enough space to hear yourself more clearly.

Self-trust, as a lived experience.

Not as an idea, but as something felt. Many women arrive knowing far more than they give themselves credit for. The challenge is rarely a lack of wisdom. More often, it is learning to trust your own experience amidst the noise of daily life and the expectations of the world around you.

The way you relate to others.

As women reconnect with themselves, they frequently begin relating to others differently. Boundaries become more natural. Communication becomes more honest. The need to manage, rescue, or carry what belongs to others begins to soften. Your capacity to stay connected to yourself deepens even in the face of your roles in leadership, parenting, partnership and community.

Emotional fluidity.

There is an intelligence to our emotions, and yet most people don't know how to recognize and be with an emotion without getting flooded by it or shutting it down. At this retreat, we practice something different: meeting what arises with presence rather than resistance, and with curiosity rather than reaction. You develop a capacity and confidence to navigate whatever life throws your way because you are no longer at the mercy of what you feel — you are in relationship with it.

Above all, this work is about creating the conditions for something deeper to emerge. Not through force. Not through more effort. But through presence, reflection, conversation, nature, and the collective wisdom that naturally arises when women gather honestly.
Your guides

Held by two women who live this work.

Between them: decades of clinical practice, years of heart medicine and somatic facilitation, and the kind of depth that only comes from having done this work themselves.

Sukhi Bal
Sukhi Bal
Clinical Counsellor · Transformational Guide · Psychedelic Integration Facilitator

Sukhi is a clinical counsellor and transformational guide whose work lives at the intersection of somatic healing, emotional processing, spiritual intelligence, and psychedelic integration. Graduate of CIIS's Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy program, she is known for seeing the pattern beneath the problem and holding that truth with the precision and warmth that cracks something open.

She works with high-capacity people who have done the work and are ready for the kind of change that is not just cognitive — the kind that lives in the body, the nervous system, the deeper field of intelligence.

She has walked this path herself — through motherhood, marriage, and the work of unraveling who she was taught to be. She knows what it is to find her way back to her own innate wisdom. And she only takes people to places she is willing to go herself.

Brea Segger
Brea Segger
Embodied Somatic Mentor · Nervous System Guide · Heart Medicine Facilitator

Brea is a master guide whose work centers on embodied somatic work and nervous-system alignment. She creates a grounded space where the nervous system can settle and a person's own truth can rise to the surface — where real change begins from within, in alignment with their most authentic self.

Working between Vancouver Island and Nosara, Costa Rica, she guides people through navigating growth, transition, and the often uncomfortable space between who they've been and who they're becoming. She brings calm, precision, and deep trust in what wants to emerge.

What began as a personal search became a decades-long exploration of growth, leadership, relationships, business, spirituality, human behavior, and the many ways we lose — and find — ourselves throughout a lifetime. And like Sukhi, she only guides others into terrain she walks herself.

What they hold together is both precise and spacious: clinically grounded, somatically attuned, and built from years of working with women at the exact threshold you are standing at now. The container is safe. The depth is real. And both of them have done this work themselves.

What women say
"Working with Sukhi feels like sitting by a beautiful river. She helps me connect with the greater spiritual current I find myself in. Her wisdom is vast and clearly earned, her guidance is practical, and she always finds a way for me to see myself more clearly."
— F.R., Vancouver Island, BC
"The journey I have been on with Brea has completely changed every aspect of my life. I no longer look for someone or something else to save me. I have found my own power and I know how to share it with the world. Everything I needed was inside me. I just needed someone who could see it and teach me."
— L.M., Boulder, Colorado
What becomes possible

What women leave with.

The tension in your body finally moves.

Not managed or meditated around. Actually metabolized — once stored in the nervous system, now released. You actually feel at home in your body.

The pattern you keep returning to loses its hold.

Not because you understand it better with your mind. Because the root of it shifted. You find yourself responding differently — less reactive, more flexible.

Your own voice becomes clearer.

What used to feel difficult to express becomes available and potent. You experience clarity of knowing and expression. You trust yourself to speak truth.

Decisions that felt impossible become obvious.

Not because someone told you what to do. Because you stopped filtering everything through everyone else's expectations. Because fear is no longer the primary influence.

Something you have been carrying gets put down.

And weeks later, you realize you have not picked it back up. The inner critic, the anxiety, the self-sabotage. That is what real integration feels like.

Synchronicities become the norm.

Amazing opportunities, connections and experiences arrive in your lap, like magic. You experience a sense of co-creating with the universe that feels deeply supported.

A final word

You have been waiting long enough.
It is your turn now.

You have tended everyone else's becoming. You have held the container for others — in your work, your relationships, your home. This is six days where the container is held for you. Where the holding, bracing, and managing gets to rest. Where what has been waiting beneath all of it finally has room to show up.

If something in you recognized itself in reading this, that recognition is already the beginning.

She evolves.
Into who she was always becoming.
