Colorado Wellness Retreat for Midlife Women

Larkspur CO - July 20 - July 23, 2023

RECOVER - from the stresses of your everyday life!

UNCOVER - the you that’s gotten lost in all the busyness!

REDISCOVER - the vibrant you that you know is still somewhere inside of you!

It's time to shut down the outside noise and escape to the majestic Rocky Mountains of Colorado and reconnect with yourself.

As a busy midlife woman taking care of everyone else’s needs, it’s been far too long since you gave yourself the gift of serious self-care. I’m not talking about the little things we do such as massages, pedicures, reading a book, etc. I am talking about seriously putting yourself first in order to replenish your body, your mind, your emotions, and your spirit. It’s time to fill your cup up and YOU DESERVE IT!

Join me in the mountain and forested area of Larkspur, Colorado located just north of Colorado Springs as we come together as like-minded women to nurture and feed our souls.

Watch the deer pass by, soak in the hot tub, read a book, play some cornhole, or go for a hike. Calm your spirit by enjoying daily yoga and meditation practices. Support your growth through specially curated workshops designed specifically for women in their midlife years and beyond.

This retreat will feature the opportunity to play around with SUP Yoga (Stand Up Paddleboard Yoga). If you’ve never tried it before this Glowga experience requires no experience to join in. Glowga is done from sundown to dark with glow-in-the-dark lights attached to the boards. This is a playful and fun experience, not to be missed. (Participation is included in the price of the retreat, but is optional.)

In your free time, you might also consider shopping at the nearby Castle Rock Outlet Mall, or dropping by the Colorado Renaissance Festival going on just a few miles away.

Be pampered as you enjoy healthy and delicious meals prepared by our personal chef, Jess Ragland. Yeah - no cooking or cleaning for you! And wine flowing freely nightly.

Make new friends (or bring some with you). Gaze at the twinkling stars as you warm by the nightly outdoor fire. Laugh a lot! Learn something new, share your own knowledge, and find acceptance, strength, joy, and peace.

We will enjoy a beautiful upscale newly built private home that will provide the perfect location and setting to refresh and recoup from the stresses of life from the past few years.

What do I bring?

Yourself. That is really it. Ya, we will send you a packing list a couple weeks ahead of time, but really, the main thing you need to worry about is bringing you - all of you. (Some retreat venues have yoga equipment available and some do not, the host will advise you if you will need to bring your own mat and props.)
What if I have diet restrictions?

When you register please note any special requirements you have. I will do everything possible to accommodate your needs.
Can I bring my service animal?

Well now this is just difficult to say...but no. Sadly our host locations are animal free areas, including service animals.
Are there payment plans available?

Yep! Choose the payment plan option with a $500.00 deposit. The remaining balance will be divided evenly by the number of months left to pay (Final payment is due 60 days prior to the retreat). There is no interest on payment plans, however, there is a $25.00 payment plan fee. Your host will contact you with exact payment plan details once your deposit has been made.
Who are my retreats suitable for?

If you are reading this far- it is definitely suitable for YOU. My retreats are designed for women who want to come connect to other like-minded women- and to themselves. Many of my guests find peace, growth, ridiculous laughter and fun, healing and nourishment of the mind & body. COME.
Are your retreats for women only?

Yes. Although we have MUCH love for men, our retreats are designed to share sacred, safe space for the ladies.
What are the ages of the attendees?

So here is the thing; As you have probably figured out by now from the name of my company, Reshape Midlife, my business is geared to women in the midlife years and beyond. That being said, no woman is excluded. Just know that workshops and classes are geared to this phase of life. Because alcohol is served at retreats they are restricted to women 21 and over.
What is your cancellation policy?

Yikes - NOOOOO say it ain’t so! Ok, yeah, I get it. Life happens. Deposits, however, are non-refundable (boooo I know). You can gift it to someone else if you would like (they are transferrable). Also, I do not offer any refunds on payments with less than 60 days to the retreat start date (another boooo). So, like, please don’t cancel. Just COME. You can read the full cancelation policy here.
I don’t really do yoga, or have only done it a few times. Is this still for me?

Uh YASSSSS. It is. Whether you have NEVER done yoga or you consider yourself an ADVANCED yogi- our yoga offerings are a fun place to explore yoga & your body. You are not too small, too big, too 'unhealthy', too stiff...you are perfectly designed to attend as you are right now. COME.
Is daily housekeeping included?

Ahhhh the joys of someone else doing the dirty work! My retreats are typically held in private properties thus there isn’t any housekeeping included (unless noted). I do take care of all the meals outlined in your program and NO DISH DUTY for you! My intention is to cultivate a relaxed, carefree environment.
Can I share a room with a friend?

If you have a roommate you’d like to share accommodations with, be sure to clearly indicate that when you register for your retreat- and if the room structure allows it, it will happen. Otherwise roommates are selected randomly in shared rooms (trust me you will love everyone you meet!).
