I'm honored to be partnering with BuDhaGirl Wellness Collective as the facilitator of the Returning to Yourself Sessions and co-leader of The Return: an intimate, all inclusive retreat designed to help women slow down, reconnect with themselves, and experience deep restoration.
Set aboard a private yacht on the breathtaking shores of Bainbridge Island, this thoughtfully curated four day experience is intentionally limited to just six guests, creating a rare opportunity for meaningful conversation, authentic connection, and personal reflection.
If you've been longing to step away from the demands of everyday life, this retreat is an invitation to pause, breathe, and remember the version of yourself that exists beneath the responsibilities, expectations, and constant busyness.
Returning to Yourself
Throughout the retreat, we'll gather for Returning to Yourself Sessions—guided experiences that combine meaningful conversation, reflective practices, experiential exercises, and shared wisdom to help you reconnect with yourself and integrate what you're discovering throughout the retreat.
Drawing from more than twenty years as a psychotherapist, I've had the privilege of facilitating women's circles, workshops, and retreats throughout Dallas and internationally in Bali and India. Again and again, I've witnessed what happens when women are given permission to slow down, speak honestly, and reconnect with themselves.
Those experiences have shaped the way I facilitate every gathering—with warmth, curiosity, compassion, and the belief that meaningful transformation begins when we feel safe enough to be fully ourselves.
These sessions are not about fixing yourself or becoming someone new. They are an invitation to remember who you've been all along.
Whether you're navigating a life transition, feeling disconnected from yourself, recovering from burnout, or simply longing for space to breathe, these gatherings are designed to help you cultivate greater self trust, clarity, and presence—both during the retreat and long after you return home.
Your Retreat Experience
01 / Accommodation
Spend three peaceful nights aboard a private yacht surrounded by the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
With accommodations for only six guests, this retreat offers an atmosphere unlike larger wellness retreats. There is space to slow down, build meaningful relationships, and experience genuine support within a small community of women.
02 / Expert Facilitation
Guided by Lauren Cureton and Jane Ballard, you'll be supported by two experienced wellness professionals who share a passion for helping women reconnect with themselves. Lauren leads transformative breathwork and immersive sound experiences, while Jane facilitates reflective Returning to Yourself Sessions informed by more than two decades as a psychotherapist and her experience leading retreats in Dallas, Bali, and India. Together, they create a grounded, compassionate experience that nurtures both inner reflection and deep restoration.
03 / Collaborative Energy
Every element of this retreat has been thoughtfully designed to work together. Lauren's breathwork and sound journeys help regulate the nervous system and create openness, while Jane's Returning to Yourself Sessions invite deeper reflection, self discovery, and authentic connection. Together, they create an experience that feels both deeply restorative and profoundly transformative.
