the Sacred Pause: A Restorative Retreat for Women
November 6 - 8, 2026 | Traverse City, Michigan
Rest, Connect, and Leave Renewed
You Are Always the One Holding It All.
Now, it’s your turn to be held.
You lead. You provide. You carry the mental load, the endless expectations, and the weight of "doing it all." But even the strongest flame needs a moment to catch its breath before it burns out.
The Sacred Pause is your invitation to step out of the noise and into a space designed exclusively for your restoration. In early November 2026, join a circle of women who understand your world without you having to explain a single thing.
Why Join Us?
This isn’t just a weekend getaway; it’s a recalibration of your soul.
✨ From Leading to Being Led
For a few days, the "Who, What, Where, and When" are handled. Your only job is to show up, breathe, and exist. You will be supported by a tranquil environment and a community that values your presence over your productivity.
✨ Tools for the "Real World"
We don't want you to crash the moment you walk back through your front door. You’ll leave with a personalized "Energy Reset" plan and sustainable tools to keep your peace intact long after the retreat ends.
✨ Rediscover the Woman Beneath the Roles
Beneath the titles, the tasks, and the responsibilities, there is a woman who is vibrant, inspired, and authentic. We provide the silence and the space for her to resurface.

Authentic Community

Our Accommodations
Your Space to Exhale
This retreat will be held at a lakefront sanctuary designed for both connection and rest. Nestled along the shores of Lake Arbutus, you’ll be surrounded by water, quiet mornings and unobstructed lake views.
During your stay, you’ll have access to: outdoor hot tubs, sauna + cold plunge, fire pits for evening connection and peaceful lakefront spaces for reflection
Nourishment, Thoughtfully Done
All meals are catered, farm-to-table, so you’ll be nourished with fresh, intentional meals shared in community, creating space for conversation, connection and presence without distraction.
Are you ready to embrace the pause?
Space is intentionally limited to maintain an intimate, supportive circle.
Your Retreat Hosts
KIm Dunn
Founder
We had the opportunity to work with an incredible consultant, Kim, who partnered with our team to strengthen our mental fitness and team culture. Through her work in 2025, she helped our staff explore shared values, build stronger communication practices, and intentionally shape the kind of workplace culture we want to sustain as we grow.
The experience created space for reflection, connection, and practical tools that our team continues to use. Investing in the well-being and mindset of a team is one of the most impactful things an organization can do, and Kim brought both expertise and authenticity to that process.
We’re excited to continue partnering in 2026 for additional trainings and growth with our team.

Working with Lisa is a breath of fresh air.
She is prepared, professional beyond expectations and can relate to any audience.
I have worked through several projects with her and each one she DELIVERED and then some!

Libby is an incredible coach who truly sees you, cares deeply, and guides you with a personalized strategy to navigate life and career challenges.

Molly Axe
Founder + CEO
Molly was our absolute favorite vendor to work with!
She had this enthusiasm that you can hear from the beginning of the phone consultation and carried it throughout the entire process!
You can tell she loves what she does.
Everything is made just for you, based on your specifications, and will never be used again for another couple. When we first met with her to come up with designs, she showed us her previous work.
She had a story to tell about every single one, which was amazing to see!
You’ll exhale the weight you’ve been carrying, not just because it feels good in the moment, but because you’ll learn how to lighten it for good.
