They continue caring for everyone else while quietly navigating physical, emotional, and identity shifts.But midlife often carries an important invitation.A pause.A moment to slow down, listen inward, release what no longer fits, and reconnect with who you are becoming.Release and Reclaim: The Pause Before Becoming is a one-day retreat created to honor this moment.Through creativity, gentle movement, nature, reflection, and meaningful conversation with other women, this retreat offers a supportive space to step away from daily demands and reconnect with yourself.What We Will Explore TogetherThis retreat blends reflective practices, embodied experiences, and creative exploration to support women during the midlife transition.Together we will explore:Creative ExpressionGuided art-based practices that help move beyond overthinking and reconnect with deeper self-awareness. No artistic experience is needed.Embodied MovementGentle movement practices that help you reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, and listen to your inner signals.Nature and ReflectionQuiet time outdoors for journaling, contemplation, and reconnecting with natural rhythms of change and renewal.Meaningful ConnectionHonest conversation with other women navigating similar life transitions.Play and Creative ExplorationCreativity invites curiosity and spontaneity. Moments of play and humor throughout the retreat help soften the rigidity that often builds around our roles and responsibilities.Sometimes laughter and play open doors that reflection alone cannot. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/sebastopol/release-and-reclaim-the-pause-before-becoming/100001984651206183 - **Event Categories**: art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 8 hours - Location: Open sky retreat space - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 397, max: 497, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Sebastopol - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Open sky retreat space - **lat**: 38.3400338 - **long**: -122.838139 - **full address**: Open sky retreat space, 4500 Bloomfield Road, Sebastopol, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Release and Reclaim: The Pause Before Becoming - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/bb3fd846508447924b73855deb63859ac4d20ff20baf066af115027a2b96d0a9-rimg-w1200-h675-dc1e3617-gmir.jpg?v=1775569484 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Release and Reclaim: The Pause Before Becoming being held? - **A:** Release and Reclaim: The Pause Before Becoming takes place on Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 09:00 am to Sat, 17 Oct, 2026 at 05:00 pm at Open sky retreat space, 4500 Bloomfield Road, Sebastopol, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Release and Reclaim: The Pause Before Becoming? - **A:** Release and Reclaim: The Pause Before Becoming is organized by Myriam Martinez & Michelle Maree. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
