TBD 2025 | Carlsbad, CA
Compassionate Women's
Retreat
A life-shifting, growth-inspiring weekend for everyday grievers who navigating loss, death and change.
This invitation is for compassionate women
Specifically, for the Compassionate Woman seeking authentic connection, personal growth, deep soul care, time to reflect + heal, space to unwind + relax in a gorgeous destination retreat location.
And also, for women of all faiths and those who may be figuring out their spiritual beliefs, who are experiencing losses due to death, broken relationships, illness, injury, aging, or any grief-striking loss.

Many circumstances can trigger feelings of grief and sadness. We can be left feeling hollowed out, as though we are simply a shell of our former selves.
Changes In:
- A Job Or Career Path
- A Daily Routine
- Life As You Knew It
- A Loved One's Illness or Passing
As women, we may struggle that much harder as our bodies take on a new shape, our career opportunities wane, our children leave the nest and our parents are getting older and require more care, even sometimes dying before we are ready to see them go.

Obstacles to Inner Peace…
Deep
Grief
What if we OPEN Pandora’s Box with our questions and discover a pit of darkness?
Limited
Time
When would we have the TIME to really dive deep into these hard places?
Others' Expectations
UNDERSTANDING that we are still strong and capable, even while experiencing grief.
Imagine
- Lounging with a hot cup of coffee and a book in the beachside village, after an invigorating workout or sleeping in
- Relaxing with kindred sisters in the hot tub or doing yoga beachside during sunrise or sunset, or both!
- Finally getting the rest and inspiration you’ve been wanting
- Receiving expert guidance and spiritual coaching to release what’s holding you back and renew yourself before the busy holiday season
- Being TENDER about our pain and loss while also connecting with our true desires to create an inspired action plan.
- We will use ART and MUSIC to get inspired for the next chapter.



Retreat Location: Carlsbad Beach Getaway. Originally purchased in 2015 by Deborah Lahman and our family to host retreats and rent to families for beautiful and cozy beach vacays. The location has become an oasis for many healing experiences. 3 bed/ 3 bath and community dinners for up to 15 on-site. We will also rent an adjacent neighbor’s house for the retreat so that guests can choose a solo experience or be willing to share a room for a discount.

I was undone...
Imagine Removing the Obstacles
What if you could surround yourself with a community who gets you without having to put on a mask or pretend that you are “okay?”
What would it feel like to:
- Honor your grief AND live in harmony with the present moment
- Integrate soul care and sacred healing into your everyday life?
- Live a full and balanced lifestyle, enjoying the activities you choose.
- Release some of the stuck energy you have surrounding your current grieving.
- Move with grace through this season, without having to sacrifice your memories and special moments that blessed your past.
- Listen to your inner wisdom and take steps toward healing and growth without the noise of your current life and task list?

Starting In September
We’ll gather for a monthly online preparation where we can get to know each other better and start setting the stage for some deep transformational conversations. To join, please RSVP to Angela for the details to join Our Soul Care Sanctuary.
The end of summer is a time of harvest and like any crop, the yield nourishes us with abundance, beauty, and inspiration. We will use some amazing methods to help you uncover the voice of your inner knowing and inner wisdom, connect with your high-vibe self and unleash the voice of your wildest desires. PLUS we have the know-how and experience to create the feel-good action plan to bring your dreams to life.
During our time together, we’ll reflect on our own lives and consider how we might create daily practices and rhythms that will help us flourish as we move toward the last 90 days of the year!
