After 25 retreats, the time has come to make some changes at Get It Dunn so after this Autumn retreat, Get It Dunn will no longer be offering these one day retreats to the general public. It has been a great joy to be able to share these practices and teachings with all of you who have experienced the power of Yoga, Meditation and Life Balance over the last nine years.

You give, you work, you sacrifice.

But are you brave enough to put yourself at the top of your priority list?

Calling all women who do too much!

Self-care isn’t selfish. It’s a revolutionary act. A feminine road back to yourself. And it changes everything.

You already know this is true.

But sometimes, we need a reminder.
A skilled guide back to our own inner wisdom.
A sacred pause from life’s endless To Do’s … so we can return to our deepest, truest vitality.

This self-care retreat is lovingly designed to help busy women harness the healing power of ancient feminine wisdom within their modern lives … so you can reclaim the lasting harmony and happiness that’s your birthright.

Whether you’re running your own business or raising a family (or both), you’ll discover how to live a meaningful, authentic life, the feminine way: guided from within.

Based on Sara Avant Stover’s bestselling book, The Way of the Happy Woman, this retreat will show you how to live gracefully amidst the ever-changing world around you. It will be soulful and down-to-earth, inspiring and practical.

“When a woman is relaxed and rested, she is the most resourceful, receptive, creative and in tune with her Feminine Soul.”

~ Sara Avant Stover

Our heartfelt aim: to support you in reclaiming your true nature, unconditional health, happiness, and feminine radiance.

“[The retreat] experience was relaxing, strengthening, empowering and meaningful. An opportunity to share with other women is always strengthening and powerful.” – Laurel

“[The retreat reminded me] that we need different things, practices etc for different seasons. It reminded me that we can always make time for ourselves. It was just the right balance of quiet, reflection, yoga. And really nice to have the ‘me time’.” – Diana Rozos

“When a woman heals herself, she heals the world.”

— Sara Avant Stover

About The Way of the Happy Woman®

The Way of the Happy Woman is a global sisterhood, spiritual lineage, and prescription for sane and soulful living, based on the best-selling book and global women’s community led by Sara Avant Stover. This is a loving wakeup call for women to slow down, reconnect with what is most essential, and fall in love with ourselves and the world around us.

Drawing from yoga, Buddhist meditation, Taoism, Ayurveda, devotion to the Sacred Feminine, and psychological healing, this path weaves the timeless and esoteric into the practical day-to-day, in true wise woman fashion.

It reunites modern women with the natural seasons, cycles, and rhythms our ancestors lived by: within our precious bodies and in the natural world all around us.

At its heart, this is a Heroine’s Journey. A path of self love. A motherly and compassionate embrace of every aspect of yourself: dark and light, spirit and shadow, Queen, crone, and warrioress. A celebration of the wisdom of creative cycles, the strength in softness, the erotic in the everyday. A reclaiming of your innate wholeness and authentic happiness, that exists beyond all external circumstances.

Through simple practices for body, emotions, mind, soul, and shadow (accessible for women of all ages, denominations, and persuasions), we cultivate inner and outer resources. We root in the essential, celebrate the strength in softness, and transform obstacles into opportunities for more authentic happiness.

Because there’s wisdom in our rhythms. And self-care is Queen.

Gentle and direct, integrative and fiercely individualized, this Way brings us to fuller intimate relationship with ourselves, the Divine, one another, and the world. The Way is wise and wild, sacred and soft, messy and mysterious. It challenges every woman to always turn inwards for guidance, first … because your way is The Way.

FAQs

“I’ve never done yoga before. Will this be basic enough for me?” Absolutely! A great yoga practice isn’t a complicated one. Our on-the-mat practice will be simple and profound enough for newbies and experienced yoginis, alike. All ages and levels of yoga experience are welcome.

“It sounds great, but I’m not so sure about doing all this in a group. I’m an introvert OR don’t normally like spending time with other women.” You’ll love this. We’ll have plenty of solo, contemplative time. And you might be amazed by how this kind of retreat can heal your relationships with other women, your children, your loved ones (and yourself).

“What should I bring?” You’ll receive more instructions once you register, but they’re very simple. Bring your journal, a yoga mat, water bottle, comfy clothes, and anything you need to feel your best. Seriously.

“Is this for me?” If you’re curious about deepening into your femininity — yes. If you’re feeling tapped out, frazzled, and stressed — yes. If you’re ready to honor the power that’s unique to Autumn — yes. If you’re ready to feel more authentically, joyfully yourself — yes.
