A Pause in the Season is a sanctuary where you can soften instead of push, receive instead of give, and return to yourself instead of continuing to drift away - created for women navigating seasons of change, hormonal, emotional, relational, or identity transitions that leave you feeling disconnected from your body, depleted by the pace of your life, and uncertain about your next chapter.

Through breathwork, restorative yoga, sound healing, therapeutic touch, and intentional rest - woven together within the quiet power of honest female community — this retreat works at the level where real change happens: the nervous system, the body, the breath.

It will guide you from disconnection to embodied presence, from depletion to genuine restoration, from confusion to a quiet, rooted clarity. 

This retreat is only open to women, womxn, and non-binary people.

You have been holding a great deal for a very long time. The household, the career, the relationships, the caregiving - and somewhere in the middle of all of it, yourself.

You know something has shifted.

Your body feels less familiar than it used to. Your sleep has changed. Your emotions arrive in waves you can't always make sense of. You don't quite feel like yourself, and you aren't yet sure who you are becoming.

A Pause in the Season was created for you.

Nestled in the highlands of Bali, surrounded by ancient rice terraces and dense jungle canopy, Ubud carries a quality of slowness that begins to work on you as soon as you arrive. It has long been a place where women come to find themselves again - and there is a reason for that.

The beautiful resort is booked exclusively for our group, with a private pool, dedicated yoga shala, and spa.

Your room is serviced daily, your meals prepared with care, and the space around you is designed to let you exhale the moment you arrive.

"Every session feels intentional and grounding. It's more than a practice - it's a full nervous system reset. I felt held from the moment I arrived. The experience stayed with me long after the session ended." - Rachel

Dhara - Soma Yoga Flow

Dhara is the founder of Soma Yoga Flow and has spent over a decade holding somatic and therapeutic space for women in transition.

Her work sits at the intersection of restorative yoga, breathwork, and sound healing - modalities she came to through her own lived experience of navigating profound inner change in relative silence.

She knows what it is to hold everything together on the outside while something essential shifts within.

Her retreats are born from that knowing: deeply safe, exquisitely supported, and grounded in the belief that you are not broken. You are simply in transition.

"Dhara is a beautiful space holder. Her presence is calm, welcoming and intentional. I look forward to experiencing her other offerings in yoga, sound healing and retreats." - Michelle

Each day unfolds with a gentle rhythm rather than a packed schedule.

• Mornings begin with restorative yoga, meditation and breathwork - giving your nervous system genuine permission to soften.

• Afternoons move between sound healing, therapeutic touch, dedicated workshops, and unstructured time to sit by the pool, journal, or simply be.

• Two afternoon activities and one cultural excursion take you into the heart of Bali and its traditions.

Nothing here is rushed. Nothing is performance. The retreat simply creates the conditions - and the rest unfolds in its own time.

Two plant-based meals are provided each day, prepared to accommodate all dietary sensitivities. Eating together is part of the experience - unhurried, communal, a quiet act of receiving that sets the tone for everything else.

A gentle landing with welcome refreshments, opening circle, cacao ceremony, intention setting and a grounding flow practice - arriving not just in Bali, but back into yourself.

A nervous system reset through guided meditation, breathwork, embodied education, journaling and a gentle cultural excursion - beginning to release what you’ve been carrying.

A restorative yoga session, sharing circle, journaling and evening sound healing ritual - creating space for emotional release and inner shift.

Embodied movement, a self-trust workshop, and extended sound healing - restoring clarity, connection and quiet joy.

Breath-led intention setting, integration practices, creative reflection and a closing ceremony with celebration dinner - anchoring your next chapter with grounded confidence.

A gentle morning practice and closing circle before departure - leaving centred, supported and reconnected to yourself.
