What is the Chakra system?
Chakras are energy centers within the body that function to balance our spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health as they receive, assimilate, and transmit prana, or life force energy. They are portals between our inner and outer worlds - working together to coordinate energy for our entire body system as a whole. The chakra system comes from ancient Vedic texts within Indian yogic traditions - dating back between 1500 and 500 BC.
This retreat is unique in that we look not only at the Chakra system, but also at the Chakra system through the lens of being a woman and how each chakra is affected by our own life’s story, living in the world as a woman, social messages we received as a woman, and our current life circumstances.
The Chakra system covers multiple layers of Self - from safety, to creativity, to authenticity, to spirituality, and more.
What is a Women’s Circle?
Women’s Circles are spaces to connect to our inner selves, the Divine, and like-hearted sisters. With topical questions, the group is guided to share one at a time from their most authentic truth. While one sister shares, the rest listen silently in support. This is not a group that offers advice or feedback - it is a way for you to find your own answer with sisters listening and believing in you. We sit in a circle to tap into the feminine, cyclical energy as well as reminding ourselves of the equality we all share.
Johanna’s Circle leading style incorporates ancient traditions of red tent gatherings and spiritual practices with modern modalities of guided discussion, journal work, ritual, somatic movement, guided meditation, and more.
This retreat is not for the faint of heart.
We go deep.
We vow to be vulnerable and authentic with ourselves and one another.
We show up…
ready for the inner work, ready for big shifts, ready to receive…
Ready to transform.
Choose from 4 Unique Packages:
Nestled amongst the trees in the private Thanksgiving House - explore hiking trails, listen to the waterfall (that is literally in our backyard!), rest by the fire, take a nap in the hammock or reflect and journal in the 24/7 tea room.
This sacred space will be the perfect spot to reconnect to yourself, connect to sisters, and connect to the Divine in nature.

with Johanna
Begin your transformational journey today by pairing this retreat with 1:1 life cultivation coaching. These sessions are aimed to hone in on your desires, remove obstacles that are in the way, and utilize natural gifts you have within yourself to bring the biggest of dreams into your lived experience.
The beauty of pairing coaching with this retreat is that together we can begin shifting and transforming before the retreat begins, deepen the retreat experience, and ensure an impactful integration processes. Allowing for deepening-in of insight gained, continual follow-through, and expanding off of what was begun - while also setting yourself up with next steps, implementation, and more.
Johanna’s approach is one of partnering with you to co-creatively explore your inner world to find the answers you’ve been seeking. Sessions are via Zoom and include a mix of deep listening, intuitive questions, discussion, ritual, somatic movement, meditation, and more.
This deep work is perfect for someone that is ready to make major life changes (career, way of living, relationship, etc), put away unhelpful habits, step into dreams that have long seemed unattainable, and more. Or maybe it’s not even about shifting something…but expanding it! Taking something that you love and watching it grow even bigger…beyond your wildest dreams!

See what previous attendees have to say…
“The retreat was flawless. Each activity was planned and executed perfectly. It was very clear the authentic objective of the retreat was to support and heal the participants. It was a very powerful and transformative experience. The space Johanna and Crystal held was safe and allowed us to support each other. What was really beautiful is that our guides true intention was to lead us to what we need, not tell us what they thought we needed. It is an important distinction that made the experience even more powerful. The retreat center itself was breathtaking and the food was next level. I will be participating in their next retreat.”
— Melanie S.
“This experience was nothing short of amazing - it was deeply healing, supportive and so connecting! I absolutely loved this retreat and believe Johanna and Crystal each bring something beautiful and magical to the table! I will never forget my time here and cannot wait for the next one! <3”
— Ashley M.
“This retreat could not have been better! Crystal and Johanna thought of every detail to make the retreat meaningful, comfortable and fun. They created a safe space for sharing and personal growth and were available to talk privately if attendees needed additional support. They are both knowledgeable about the material and teach with warmth and sensitivity. The retreat location (Elohee) was fantastic and took such good care of this. I highly recommend this retreat and would do it again!”
— Kathy R.
