For the woman who has been holding everything together


Hi Reader,

Ubud has been my home for the past six months - and it's also where my yoga journey began back in 2013. It's a place I find genuinely difficult to describe to people who haven't been, because the atmosphere does something to you that has nothing to do with the activities or the scenery.

For a very long time, I have wanted to create something here worthy of what this place makes possible so today is a very exciting day for me ๐Ÿฅฐ

Consider this your invitation to come back to yourself

Our Vision For This Retreat

This six-day immersive retreat was created for women navigating seasons of change - hormonal, emotional, relational, or identity shifts that leave you feeling disconnected from your body, depleted by the pace of your life, and uncertain about who you are becoming.

โ€‹Dhara and I have spent months designing this retreat together, drawing from our own lived experience of what women in transition actually need and almost never receive.

Through breathwork, restorative yoga, sound healing, therapeutic touch, and intentional rest - held within the quiet power of honest female community - A Pause in the Season works at the level where real change happens: the nervous system, the body, the breath.

It will guide you from disconnection to embodied presence, from depletion to genuine restoration, from confusion to a quiet, rooted clarity.

Limited to just 15 women, this intimate retreat is not designed to fix what you are going through. It offers something more valuable: the experience of meeting it from a place of rest, trust, and genuine support - surrounded by women who understand, because they are living it too.

It is a sanctuary where you can soften instead of push, receive instead of give, and return to yourself instead of continuing to drift away.

Why Ubud

Nestled in the highlands of Bali, surrounded by ancient rice terraces and dense jungle canopy, Ubud has long been a place where women come to rest and recharge - and there is a reason for that.

If you've read/watched Eat, Pray Love, you already know what I mean ๐Ÿ˜„

It's a place that slows you down before you've even decided to slow down. It holds you in a way that feels almost inexplicable.

Our stunning resort is booked exclusively for our group: private pool, lush gardens, dedicated yoga shala, and an on-site spa. Every room is serviced daily, your meals are prepared with care, and the space around you is designed to let you exhale the moment you arrive.

What's included

  • Five nights accommodation
  • Two plant-based meals per day
  • Daily restorative yoga
  • Meditation & breathwork
  • Sound healing
  • Cacao ceremony
  • Two afternoon workshops
  • One half-day excursion into Bali

Your facilitator - Dhara

Dhara is the founder of Soma Yoga Flow and has spent over a decade holding somatic and therapeutic space for women in transition.

Her work sits at the intersection of restorative yoga, breathwork, and sound healing - modalities she came to through her own lived experience of navigating profound inner change in relative silence.

She knows what it is to hold everything together on the outside while something essential shifts within.

Her retreats are born from that knowing: deeply safe, exquisitely supported, and grounded in the belief that you are not broken. You are simply in transition.

"Every session feels intentional and grounding. It's more than a practice, it's a full nervous system reset. I felt held from the moment I arrived. The experience stayed with me long after the session ended." โ€” Rachel

09 April 2026 - Issue #029 Hey Reader, Let me tell you about my new phone lockscreen. You're either going to love it or think I've completely lost it. Both are fair ๐Ÿ˜„ Actually, let me just show you! I'm not exaggerating when I say this has been the best reminder I could give myself right now (and the best conversation starter ๐Ÿ˜…). Every time I pick up my phone to check something, I read it, pause for a second, and suddenly everything drops into perspective. It's like a constant nudge to stop...

02 April 2026 - Issue #028 Hey Reader, Guess what? After living in Bali for six months I finally left Ubud for a weekend, which I think says a lot about how much I love this place ๐Ÿฅฐ Last weekend I finally got out of my comfort bubble and drove to Sidemen for what turned into something a bit special. The timing couldn't have been more perfect considering what I've been thinking about lately. I'm truly struggling with the version of wellness that asks for more of me. More discipline, more...

a pause in the season retreat

26 March 2026 - Issue #027 Hey Reader, And so it happened, I experienced my first Nyepi here in Bali and I loved every minute of it. If you have no idea what Iโ€™m talking about, I wrote a blog about this very unique Balinese celebration where, for twenty-four hours, everything stops. No travel, no work, no lights, no noise. Just stillness. I wrote this the day before Nyepi, when I was still in that phase of excitement and disbelief that something like this still exists in 2026. Now, almost a...
