The Compassionate Women's
Sacred-Self Retreat
A Self-Compassion Retreat
You’ve carried so much — for your family, your work, and your community.
Now it’s your turn to receive.
Join us for the Sacred Self Retreat — a deeply healing and soul-nourishing weekend for women ready to release the weight of self-judgment, perfectionism, and guilt. This is your invitation to soften, to exhale, and to meet yourself with the kind of kindness and tenderness you so freely give to others.
From October 23rd- 26th, 2025, immerse yourself in the quiet beauty of Carlsbad, California — where the rhythm of the ocean and the warmth of a supportive sisterhood will hold space for you to reconnect with your heart.
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 trauma while also connecting with our true desires to create an inspired action plan.
- We will use self-compassion modalities to get inspired for the next chapter.
Retreat Location: Carlsbad Beach Getaway. Originally purchased in 2015 by Deborah Lahman and her 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.
Step into Grace and Gentle Strength
This retreat is for the woman who feels the quiet pull toward her own healing — who knows she isn’t in crisis but feels the ache of unmet needs and unspoken exhaustion. It’s for the woman who longs to rest without guilt, to let go of the impossible standards she’s carried for too long, and to rediscover the joy and ease of simply being.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?”

October in Carlsbad, California is absolutely beautiful, a perfect blend of warmth and coastal breeze. Expect sunny skies with daytime temperatures in the mid to high 70s°, and cooler evenings in the low 60s°. It’s the ideal time to enjoy the beach, move your body outdoors, and cozy up with a sweater during evening sessions. We recommend bringing layers so you’re comfortable from sunrise meditations to beach bonfires.
