Walk Alongside Retreats
Clinical therapy meets somatic healing in the Canadian Rockies. Our mountain retreats in Canmore-Banff offer women a chance to step away from the noise and into intentional healing. Through therapeutic guidance, body-based practices, and the grounding presence of nature, you'll leave feeling more connected to yourself and ready to live differently.
WONDER & AWE.. A SACRED REMEMBERING
It gets to be this good.
June 10-13, 2027 | Château Canmore
If healing has brought you this far, maybe the next invitation isn't another lesson in coping. Maybe it's permission to play.
You've done the work.
You've learned to name the anxious thought before it names you. You've sat with the hard feelings instead of running from them. You've untangled beliefs that were never yours to carry in the first place, and somewhere in that work, you became someone steadier. Someone calmer. Someone who can breathe.
A question worth sitting with: now that you know how to come down from the ceiling, do you know how to rise into joy?
Because healing isn't only about subtracting the anxiety. It's about making room for what anxiety crowded out.. wonder, sparkle, delight, the kind of laughter that surprises you.
This retreat is an invitation to remember joy. To rediscover sparkle. To cultivate wonder on purpose, instead of waiting for it to happen to you. To intentionally create more moments that leave you in awe of your own life.
It gets to be this good.
WHY WE FORGOT HOW TO PLAY
Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, most of us lost the ability to play without an agenda. Maybe play wasn't safe growing up, there was no room for it, or it was met with criticism instead of delight. Maybe the pace of adult life simply crowded it out, until "productive" became the only acceptable way to spend a day. Maybe you've felt the flicker of wanting to be silly, creative, or spontaneous, and quietly judged yourself for it before anyone else could.
Whatever the reason, the result is the same: a quiet, low-grade joylessness that anxiety work alone doesn't fix. You can be regulated and still be starving for delight.
This retreat makes space to relearn something children do instinctively and most adults have forgotten how to access: play for its own sake, with no outcome to perform and no one to impress.
This retreat is for you if:
-
You've done meaningful healing work, therapy, coaching, your own inner work, and you're ready for what comes next
-
You notice you brace against good things, or feel guilty when life feels easy
-
You can't remember the last time you played without a goal attached
-
You're craving more moments of awe, delight, and "wow", not just fewer moments of anxiety
-
You're ready to believe, even just a little, that it gets to be this good
You do not need to have any of this figured out before you arrive. You just need to be willing to remember.
Joy is not something you have to earn back. It was never on loan. It's yours, and we will practice taking hold of it, one moment of wonder at a time.
VIP Integration Experience
Available exclusively to Evolve Her, Embrace Her and Elevate Her participants
June 14th, 2027 | Canmore
Investment: TBD
For those desiring deeper integration, the VIP WONDER & AWE Experience offers an intimate, one-day extension focused on somatic attunement, reflection, and expansion.
This deep-dive gathering supports the integration of the retreat through small-group “hot seat” coaching, somatic processing, and guided reflection with Bethany and Christine. Set within a relaxed, private environment, the day includes a bougie-style pampering experience, designed to nourish the nervous system through beauty, rest, and sisterhood.
This VIP experience is intentionally limited to preserve depth, safety, and relational intimacy.
Accommodations are not included, allowing participants to stay wherever feels most
aligned in Canmore or Banff. The VIP day is about allowing what has already emerged to land, root, and be carried forward with clarity, softness, and support.
