Rest as Medicine:
A Pneuma Women’s Day Retreat
Sunday, January 10 2026 | Starting at $165
Overview
Rest as Medicine is a full day immersion designed to help you stop earning your rest, reconnect with the part of yourself that is allowed to be still, and remember that slowing down is not falling behind.
January has a way of arriving with pressure attached. New year, new goals, new version of yourself to build. But what if the most revolutionary thing you could do right now is rest? Not as a reward for finishing. Not as recovery before the next push. But as medicine, as something your body and nervous system actually need in order to function, feel, and live fully. This retreat is an invitation to let yourself winter without guilt.
Through embodied practices, creative reflection, and intentional community, we create space to explore your relationship with rest and why it feels so complicated, to give your nervous system permission to genuinely downshift, and to practice receiving without immediately asking what comes next.
At the heart of this retreat is belonging. This is a space for women to gather in shared presence, to be witnessed, supported, and held within a community that values authenticity and care. Through practicing together, we support one another's growth and deepen our connection to ourselves and each other.
We are intentionally keeping this retreat small, with a maximum of 20 participants. This allows for a more intimate, grounded experience where each person feels seen, supported, and able to fully drop in.
The size of the group is a key part of how we create depth, safety, and meaningful connection throughout the day.
Throughout the day, you will be guided through a thoughtfully curated flow of experiences, including yoga, breathwork, sound healing, a cacao ceremony, reflective workshop practices, and a closing movement and dance integration.
Each element is designed to support nervous system balance, self-awareness, and the clarity needed to plant seeds with intention.
This retreat is about remembering that rest is not something you have to justify. It is something you are allowed to need.
Pneuma women's retreats are inclusive experiences. All who identify with or feel drawn to feminine-centered spaces, practices, and themes are welcome.
You will leave feeling clear, grounded, and more attuned to your inner compass, with a beautifully designed retreat workbook to support continued reflection and integration in the days that follow.
No prior experience with yoga, breathwork, or meditation is required. Come exactly as you are.
We cannot wait to hold this space and build this community with you.
Rest as Medicine is a full day immersion designed to give your nervous system actual permission to exhale. Through embodied practices, creative reflection, and intentional community, we create space to explore what rest really means, to release the guilt around it, and to practice receiving without needing to earn it first.

What to Expect

❋ Collaborative EnergyThere’s something powerful about doing this work alongside others. Shared practices create a sense of being held in the room, where your own experience deepens through presence, honesty, and connection.
❋ Expert FacilitationYou’ll be guided by facilitators who create a supportive container while leaving room for your own inner direction. Each offering is held with care, so you can explore what’s coming up without pressure or expectation.
❋ A Supportive SpaceThe environment is warm, grounded, and welcoming. You can arrive as you are, move at your own pace, and engage in the ways that feel most true for you throughout the day.

Our Commitment to Community
At Pneuma, we believe healing grows stronger when it's shared. As part of our 2|2|2 commitment, each retreat gives back in three ways:
For this gathering, that includes gifting one retreat ticket to someone in need, donating a portion of event proceeds to aligned charities, and offering ongoing community support beyond the day itself.
If you are in a season where this retreat is calling to you but the cost is a barrier, we invite you to apply for a gifted spot at the link below.
Good to Know
-
This retreat is for anyone drawn to feminine-centered spaces seeking clarity, intention, and community. It's for women navigating transitions and beginnings. You don't need any prior experience with yoga, breathwork, or meditation, just a willingness to show up and be present.
-
This SOMA breathwork practice is gentle and guided, designed to support regulation, release, and opening. We create a safe container and offer modifications so everyone can participate in a way that feels supportive. If you've never done breathwork before, you'll be fully supported.
-
We incorporate ritual elements like cacao ceremony and mindfulness practices, but this retreat isn't affiliated with any religion or spiritual tradition. We create space that honors many paths and welcomes all who feel called to self-connection and growth.
-
A yoga mat (we can provide one if you don’t have one)
A water bottle
Comfortable clothes you can move and relax in
Any personal items you may want to feel supported for a 6-hour retreat (layers, journal, snacks, pillow, etc.)
-
We offer gifted spots for each retreat. If cost is a barrier but this retreat is calling to you, please apply through our application form. Access to healing and community shouldn't be limited by finances.
We also offer access to weekly reflection circles with a purchase of our workbook. Check out the workbooks page on our website.
What’s Included
-
A thoughtfully curated sequence of embodied experiences designed to support presence and connection. The day includes vinyasa yoga, breathwork, and sound healing, each offered in a way that invites listening rather than pushing and supports both physical and emotional integration.
-
A guided workbook you’ll use during the retreat and take home with you. Through prompts and space for reflection, it supports clarity around what you’re carrying, what feels ready to shift, and what you want to tend over the next 30 days.
-
Time and space to connect with other women who are also navigating healing, growth, and transition. Shared experience, conversation, and quiet moments together create a sense of belonging without pressure to perform or overshare.
-
A small collection of intentional items to support your experience during the retreat and beyond. Practical, comforting, and a little bit special, designed to feel useful and meaningful while still leaving room for surprise.
-
A catered light lunch will be provided, along with tea available throughout the day. Simple, nourishing offerings designed to support grounding, ease, and presence as you move through the experience.
