SEVEN SUNDAYS

you deserve a day off seven days in a row

Hello and WElcome!

I’m so glad you’re interested in joining me for the Seven Sundays Retreat at my vacation home in Las Terrenas.

Hosting this retreat became an imperative as I began to heal my own burnout and reflected on the needs of all the mothers, entrepreneurs and care givers I have had conversations with over the past three years.

The Invitation

Please join me for seven entire days devoted to renewing your spirit and your body. I’ve crafted a gorgeous experience that welcomes you exactly where you are in your journey of life.

The intention is to surround you with the space and the freedom to give yourself gentle self-care- all in a supported environment for a longer time than we might normally allow ourselves.

Part of this was inspired by a trip I made with some fellow women entrepreneurs to the house in 2018- we realized that 4-5 days was not enough to begin the unwinding process. We determined that seven days would be ideal, with travel tacked on either side.

Hence, Seven Sundays.

The Container

You may arrive any time on the Saturday July 6th and depart any time on July 14th. Our retreat container spans seven full days together- Sunday July 7 to Saturday July 13- without the specter of travel on the days when retreat events take place.

Another way that I’m inviting you to experience ease is that the trip, once you arrive at the house, is entirely inclusive. Every excursion, morsel of delicious food, gorgeous spa service, is included. You need not worry about a thing.

Finally, we will be focusing on receptivity and allowing our rejuvenation as opposed to Doing Things to Heal, which feels like it requires a lot of energy.

We won’t be passive of course, but I want this week to be gentle, easeful, and yes joyful- without efforting.

The Itinerary

This outline has been tough for me because I always want to add more, more, more. (LOL I suspect I’m not the only one like this.)

During the Seven Sundays, less is more. Of course, some of the itinerary is weather dependent and every day you will have the opportunity to walk the beach/take a dip in the ocean.

The Accommodations

You’ll be staying in my home in the Dominican Republic, Villa Arboleda.

The villa offers two King Suites, two more King bedrooms and an off site option if you prefer to arrange your own accommodations (all your meals and activities are completely covered in that case). You may choose any of the King rooms as single or double occupancy. All rooms offer private balconies.

I have been told that our photos do NOT do this place justice. It’s dreamy!

About Food

We will have the services of an amazing private chef, Virginia, who honed her craft aboard sailing yachts off Mallorca.

She and her team will be preparing fresh, healthy meals for us all week and she will customize our menus for specific allergies, intolerances and preferences.

All participants will fill out a “Retreat Magic” questionnaire so that we can further personalize your experience, including food.

Setting the Stage

Prior to our trip, each participant will have a 1:1 session with me so that we can get to know one another and be clear about what you want to experience during your Seven Sundays.

We will also have a virtual group session prior to the trip to connect and create an energetic space for our time together.

For those who book prior to March 15, you will receive two additional 1:1 integration sessions after the trip.

Giving Back

After living in the Dominican Republic, the realities of poverty and education were hard to ignore. Over 10% of your fees will go to affordable housing for workers in Las Terrenas.

A bit about me!

If we’re not already acquainted, I’m Lauren.

I’m a fellow rebel mystic entrepreneur and I’ve been in business over 18 years and have for sure experienced highs (coaching CEOs of billion dollar organizations, hosting retreats around the world) and lows (experiencing financial insecurity, mental and physical health challenges and trauma).

My work equips the rebels and mystics, creatives and empaths, the right-brained and the highly sensitive with tools that can help us better navigate this physical world while honoring our spirit and our dreams.

I’ve spoken at SXSW (5 different times), written a weekly newspaper column, and advised over 500 individuals via my consulting and coaching work but I’m most proud of breaking generational dysfunction and creating a safe home with my husband and little girl.

I hope you will join me!

But you don’t have to take my word for it… (lol if you know you know)
