WHAT TO EXPECT

Community, creativity, abundance & rest

Join Rachael & Eva in beautiful coastal Maine for four days full of inspired moments and coziness and let them gently guide you from exhaustion towards ease.

We believe that you are already a whole being. Our retreat is not here to optimize you, but to enchant you. To return from productivity to joy. To hold space for yourself.

Our thoughtfully crafted retreat is tailored to meet the needs of tired mothers.

A safe space for you to show up as who you are. A holistic approach to wellness, that combines breathwork, ritual, guided conversations, yoga and gentle meditation. Let Rachael’s nourishing, seasonal meals nurture you. Let Eva hold you in her ceremonial, guided circles.

The flow of our Maine retreat is intentionally designed to take you from stress to ease.

WHY MAINE?

With its rugged landscape and beautiful seascapes Maine evokes feelings of both earthiness and fluidity. Groundedness and creativity. Endurance and ease. Patience and delight. All the beautiful layers that make life and motherhood so raw and beautiful, too. We picked Maine for this retreat, because we believe its very nature is invitation to retreat to a simpler life, towards stillness, towards community.

We know that it takes a lot of courage, planning and effort to getaway for four days as a mother in a society devoid of the community all mothers deserve.

We invite you to make this investment not just for yourself, but for your children and in the knowing that it is our responsibility as mothers, women and wisdom keepers of the earth to heal, soften, and love from a place of deep rest.

WHAT ATTENDEES ARE SAYING

“I hope Rachael and Eva touch the lives of many more women”

“The Maine retreat was the perfect balance of rest and play. I didn’t expect to feel so comfortable in a group of mothers that I had never met before, but Rachael and Eva made everyone feel at ease right away. Everything is an invitation, nothing felt forced or dogmatic, like so many other things in our wellness-obsessed world.”

“I want to thank Eva & Rachael for their work in the world.”

“While it wasn’t easy to come up with a childcare plan and the funds to go to the Pause I am so happy that I found a way. Eva and Rachael put so much love in these retreats and it seeps through the food, the way they hold space for you and nurture you. The Pause is a beautiful reminder of your worth and strength.”
