The Very Peri Mental Pause

The Change isn’t an ending, it’s an awakening.

Join us for four days of rest, laughter and radical honesty as we reclaim perimenopause as a sacred passage into power.

Enjoy doctor-led workshops, nourishing meals, restorative massage and Reiki – leave with a clearer understanding of your body, a renewed sense of power and possibility and the reminder that you are not alone (and never were).

Featuring retreat hosts Kara Valentine, visionary, possibilities coach and storyteller; Dr. Tanya Atagi, board certified physician and advocate for women’s mid-life vitality; and Klaudia Burian, board certified health & wellness coach and functional nutrition counselor.

Reset your body and mind. Receive transformational knowledge. Meet heart-centered women and renew trust in yourself – in a beautiful, restorative lakeside setting.

This is for women who are done pretending perimenopause isn’t a big deal! Goodbye to chaos, exhaustion and myths. Bring on connection and empowerment as we heal and learn together.
