About the event
Sacred Pause by the Sea
Oct 3–5, 2025 at Surfcrest Estate near Deception Pass, WA
It was a good summer—full of joy, adventure, and showing up for the people you love.
But it was also a lot. Constant motion, caring for everyone else, little time to just be.
This fall, I invite you to give yourself permission to pause.
Join us on the beaches of Deception Pass for a weekend of sacred restoration. The Surfcrest Retreat is just 50 minutes south of Bellingham, and 1.5 hour drive North of downtown Seattle, located on beautiful Whidbey Island, just before the iconic and stunning Deception Pass Bridge.Through movement, stillness, community circles, and soul-nourishing rituals, you’ll reconnect with the part of you that’s been quietly waiting beneath the busyness.
The Experience
Held at SurfCrest, a 9,000 sq ft private beachfront estate, the retreat takes place across two beautifully designed homes nestled into the shoreline. Each space offers a blend of comfort, simplicity, and soul—inviting you to fully exhale.
You’ll be nourished with chef-crafted meals by Chef Siiri, supported through practices like breathwork, gentle movement, somatic rituals, creative expression, and restorative stillness.
A soothing sound healing experience will offer a space to release, restore, and reconnect with your inner rhythm.
This Retreat Is For You If...
You’ve been holding it all together—and it’s starting to wear on you
You’ve been yearning to reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been set aside
You want to cultivate a deeper sense of freedom, joy, and alignment
You’re ready to rejuvenate your spirit and embrace your true self
You crave time away to recharge, reflect, and rediscover your inner strength
You’re seeking sacred space to simply be—without roles, demands, or judgment
If your heart is whispering “yes,” —even if you can’t explain why—you belong here.
What You’ll Walk Away With
A softened nervous system and a clearer connection to your inner truth
Soulful practices that help you return to yourself again and again
A deeper sense of trust in your body, your path, and your inner wisdom
Space to remember what truly lights you up—beyond roles and expectations
The quiet strength that comes from being witnessed, held, and not alone
A rekindled sense of joy, freedom, and alignment that lives beyond the weekend
The world may not be quieter when you return, but you’ll carry a quieter mind and a more grounded heart through it.
