a 4-day retreat for exploring inside and out

for connecting and reconnecting with what matters

Imagine the sweet, salty air, a wide open sky, and the constant, soothing, energy of rolling waves over your bare feet. There is space around you and within you, and there is nowhere else you need to be, no one else you need to tend to, nothing you need to do except breathe.

Imagine standing here for as long as you felt like it…..

I know many women who rarely have this space in their lives. They are so overwhelmed with the day-to-day demands that they have forgotten what they really want for themselves. They are so busy living by habit, by circumstances, by someone else’s rules, that they have lost touch with what’s important to them.

Does this sound familiar? Do you find yourself just going through the motions of your life without a sense of purpose or direction or meaning?

Do you wish you had the time and space for exploring and remembering what really matters to you?

Retreats are a time for self-reflection, for being in the space inside of yourself where your truest voices can be heard.

It is amazing what you can discover when you tune out the have to’s and should’s of daily living and tune in to your heart’s deepest desires.

Surrounded by nature, and beauty, and like-minded people, this retreat offers you an opportunity to get away from the busyness and distractions of daily life and reconnect with your deeper self.

There will be lots of quiet time, to walk, read, nap, whatever you need.

There will be times in community where we share and ask deep questions.

And there will be lots of play and laughing and creative activities.

NO ARTISTIC EXPERIENCE NECESSARY

The intention is for each person to reconnect to their heart and leave with tools to stay connected even after we return to our busy lives.

” Ruth’s retreat gave me a chance to sit back and look at things differently from my everyday, work-a-day life. I was able to get back in touch with, and remind myself what is important.

The beauty of nature often does that for me and I knew Ruth would provide activities and space that would encourage this reconnection.”

— Brenda C., Phoenix, AZ

“I used to go on retreats yearly and haven’t for a few years. It’s soooo important to get away, get quiet.

I had time and space to hear myself and my soul. I realized that I’m not very good at self care – I tend to think I am but this weekend gave me opportunities to see how I need to claim this a lot more for myself!

I appreciated the time to slow down and just be me and not be concerned about clothes and any should’s. And the rustic nature of it all was a wonderful reminder that all that extra stuff and luxury isn’t what’s really important.”

— Frannie W., Mesa, AZ

Are you ready for something else, but not sure what that might be or how it might happen?

When we are contemplating a change, often, we are only able to see either the old way or what we think is not possible. It’s so easy to get stuck there, unable to open to any new ideas or possibilities.

And yet we are aching for something new, something deeper, truer, more authentic, something we truly love. We long to be more of ourselves. But we’ve lost touch with who we truly are and what kind of life we really want to be living.

We can’t discover this by thinking our way to a new way of life.

The answers lie in our dreams, in our imaginations, in our hearts. But until we can quiet the old voices in our head, we can’t hear these new love songs.

Getting quiet, being in nature, asking ourselves new questions is the heart’s path to discovering who we really are and what we truly want to be and do and have and share in this life.

 

“I felt very nurtured at the retreat and was able to experience myself differently than I have before.
I have more confidence and acceptance of who I am, and am much more aware that my life is truly in my control. Life seems fuller, more interesting and exciting since the Retreat.”

– Nancy A., Phoenix, AZ

 

The Central California Coast is an amazing place. The pace is slow, the vistas are wide, and there is water everywhere. A heart can’t help but open up and breathe here.

Perhaps your heart is ready to open up and reconnect with who you really are and what you want to manifest in your life.

I’ve led several women’s weekend retreats – three times in Sedona and once at a retreat center in the desert in Carefree, AZ. I absolutely love creating and holding space for women to breathe and slow down enough to discover something new to love about themselves. This time, we’re gathering at the beach, which will make everything even more magical!

“Between the breathtakingly beautiful grounds, the loving, safe and supportive space of the workshop, I returned home energized with a joyful heart, a nourished soul and new friends.”

– Gale A., Phoenix, AZ

WOMEN, WONDER & WAVES :

a 4-day retreat to explore what is and what’s next

Thursday – Sunday

March, 2024

at the beach in Morro Bay, CA

limited to 5 women

Drop me an email if you’d like to chat to see if this is a fit for you

 

“Just show up. Ruth’s retreat, true to the name, will spark your heart. She personally is so heart-centered that heart healing happens as if by osmosis, by being in her presence.

I discovered/uncovered things that have been hidden in my heart for at least 15 years; what a (healing) relief to let them out! I’m delighted that I dared to show up because I came away with new tools, new friends, and a heart-centered approach to my life.”

– Kelly M., Glendale, AZ

WHAT THE RETREAT IS:

 

You’ll arrive on Thursday so you have time to settle in and adjust to the time zone. We’ll begin our time together on Thursday, late afternoon, with an opening circle on the beach. We’ll enjoy a light dinner before the sunset, and ease into some deep questions to take to bed with you.

Over the next days we’ll talk, we’ll walk, we’ll explore and discover all kinds of things, both internally and in nature. We’ll enjoy local seafood and farmers market deliciousness. 

And we’ll engage in creative coaching activities that will help you gain clarity about who you really are, what you are ready to let go of, and what you most want to create with your life.

There will also be lots of time for rest, and quiet, and beach walking in between our times together. There will be opportunities to enjoy tide pooling, gentle kayaking on the back bay, and a trip to the local Farmers Market. And you can choose to not participate in any activity at any time.

This retreat is for you!

We will close our retreat on Sunday before lunch, but I encourage you to stay an extra day so that you have the entire day and another night for absorbing, and processing, and assimilating your experience.

What You’ll Experience during the Retreat:

	You’ll explore your intentions, your blocks, and your dreams with Guided Exploration Writing Sessions. We will engage in several easy, yet powerful writing exercises designed to tap into your deeper self. There are no rules, no spelling requirements, you just follow your pen on the paper and see what happens.
	You’ll open to new ways to define and access your creative spirit in the One Hundred Sticks Circle. We often have a pre-conceived idea about things. When we begin to consider new possibilities, it’s amazing what magic can happen.
	You’ll learn simple exercises to ground and center yourself with several Present Moment Practices. We’ll engage in a variety of practices so you can find the ones that resonate best with who you are.
	You’ll explore and express your deepest visions for yourself as you create your own Talismans and Touchstones. This is where you’ll bring it all together into a tangible object that reflects who you are, what’s important to you and what you dream to bring into your life. All materials are provided. No “artistic” experience necessary.

 

 

You can arrive by car, plane, even a train!

Morro Bay is on the central coast of California, halfway between San Francisco and Santa Barbara. The closest airport and train station are both in San Luis Obispo, about 20 minutes south of Morro Bay. If you choose not to rent a car, you can get an Uber to Morro Bay. I’m happy to help you with the details.

ACCOMODATIONS:

The retreat includes daily activities,  lunches and snacks. Accommodations, as well as breakfasts and dinners, are NOT included.

ABOUT MORRO BAY:

Morro Bay is the quintessential California beach town, with surfers, fresh seafood, and a gorgeous, six mile walking beach.

March is typically sunny and warm on the coast, but with the weather these days, you’ll want to bring layers so that you’re comfortable, no matter what. You’ll get a complete WHAT TO BRING list and other information before the retreat.

 

This retreat is all about you – committing time and space for yourself and for your heart, and for opening up to what else you want to be living in this lifetime. And, I promise you, as soon as you say YES, you will begin to see and experience extraordinary synchronicities in your life.
