Retreat leader

Kristine Carlson

Kristine Carlson invites you to join her for a truly life changing magical weekend.  A transformational teacher who has been connecting women and leading retreats for over a decade; the What Now Retreat is most significant to her life’s work. Kristine helps each woman to pivot toward what’s true for them at any stage as they step into their next chapter fully awake to their deepest desires to live their best lives.

LIFE-CHANGING RESTORATION

What you can expect

REVEL IN NATURE’S BEAUTY

Outside adventures

Soak up the scenic glory of coastal Northern California through hikes, beach walks, and open-air meditation. In nature, we find our origin and our center.

FEEDING BODY AND SOUL

Delicious food and drink

Enjoy the great organic food (and wine, too) that the North Coast offers. As we gather around the table with friends and nourish our bodies, we also deeply nurture our hearts and souls with laughter and great conversation.

CONNECT, TRANSFORM, AND GROW

Wisdom circles

Find transformation and growth through our beloved intimate “Wisdom Circles.” Led by Kristine and with the gentle listening and sharing of open-hearted peers, encounter peace-filled guidance for your soul’s current concerns. You’ll find awareness, discovery, and life-altering transformation together with a very special group of soul sisters.

CREATIVELY CAPTURE YOUR PURPOSE

Soul expressive art

Let your freedom and creativity flow through healing and expressive art. We embark upon a simple art project during the retreat, designed to awaken your heart in new ways and create space for healthy, soul-deep expression and whimsy. Most importantly, you’ll manifest art that reminds you of your experience, your purpose, and your vision for the future.

BREATHE, MOVE, AND CENTER

Meditation & yoga

Greet the sun each day with a powerful time of gentle yoga for beginners and novices, alike and morning meditation. These daily practices of breath and movement will cleanse your body, mind, and heart. Rediscover grounding and inner peace that you’ll carry back into normal life. The yoga will be led by esteemed instructor Janine Ellis.

LUXURIOUS R&R

Beautiful ocean-view rooms

Relax in beautiful guest rooms overlooking the ocean. In your own room, leave your chores and “to do” lists behind, simply to bask in the luxury of rest in this home away from home set on the coastal cliffs of the Sonoma Coast at Sea Ranch, California.

SOUL-SOOTHING HARMONY

Sound healing

Encounter the powerful healing that sound provides. Our yoga instructor, certified sound healing expert, Janine Ellis, will use Chakra bowls to promote holistic healing processes. Rehabilitate those out-of-harmony places in your being, decrease stress and anxiety, and awaken your deepest truth.
