It usually takes a few days into any retreat before we shed the stress of our daily lives. The mental load, the group texts and the running grocery list in the back of your mind all tend to come along for the ride. Set It Down is designed to wash away those layers of gunk so you can reach the deep tranquility that powerful growth requires.
Ojo Santa Fe is a 77‑acre desert oasis with spring‑fed thermal soaking pools tucked beneath the cottonwoods. The Pueblo people sought out these waters for healing centuries ago. You’ll understand why within minutes of your first soak.
For three days we surrender here. Together we’ll release the stories that were never ours to bare and go beneath the surface to find the freedom that has been hidden from us for too long. Letting go of the personas we’ve used as cover may be one of the bravest adventures a woman can take. You’ll do it alongside a circle of women who understand.
Cassie and Betty Jo will guide you through workshop sessions designed to help you untangle what you’ve been carrying. Between sessions you’ll soak in the healing waters, stretch through morning yoga, gather for a ceremonial temazcal sweat lodge and share a celebration dinner on the final night. The resort even has a daily puppy hour. Nobody has ever left a retreat worse off for holding a puppy.
Set It Down leaves you poised and ready for Rise, the 10th Annual Women’s Retreat, so you can step into the main retreat ready for profound transformation. If you aren’t joining us for Rise, you’ll still go home free of the burdens you arrived carrying. Either way, every woman is welcome.
