DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

You’ve been through a lot of transformation.


Some of it beautiful. Some of it messy as hell.


And now you’re here…in this in-between where you’re not who you were, but you’re still learning how to fully land as who you’re becoming.


You crave rest.
Connection.
Depth.


But you don’t always slow down long enough to actually receive it.


You want friendships that feel aligned, where you don’t have to overthink, overperform, or hold everything together.


You want space to just be. To play. To exist without constantly planning, fixing, or doing.


You’re not looking for another breakthrough. You’re looking to land.

Imagine this

You wake up slowly as the Sedona sun starts to rise.


You walk into the kitchen to the sound of giggles. Some of the girls are already up and you all chit-chat about the day ahead while you make your morning coffees/teas.


No one's rushing.

No one's "on."


You all make your way outside, still in your PJ's to pull some oracle cards and let the sun warm your face.


As the days unfold you find yourself thinking "how have I only known these women for a few days??"


There's no pressure to perform or be a certain way. You feel the kind of relaxation that can only come from places there you feel safe to bring all of you online.

INTRODUCING

The Becoming Retreat

This is for the women who is in her Phoenix Rising era. The one who's walking through the fires of her own transformation. There is no denying your life looks different now. You feel different. And even if it was the choice that you feel so certain will serve your highest good, there is still that subtle question of "who am I now?" This retreat is for this version of you.

MEET YOUR GUIDE, LAUREN RUSSELL

SOMATIC PRACTITIONER

AND EMBODIMENT COACH

Hiiii, I'm Lauren. 

Let's get straight to it -- I’m not here to teach you quick nervous system hacks so you can push harder, do more, or numb what’s truly asking to be felt.

My work isn’t about becoming more efficient, productive, or perfectly regulated.

It’s about descent. Into your body. Into your bones. Into the places you’ve learned to leave behind, the grief, the rage, the tender cracks where your power hums beneath the surface.

I’m a somatic practitioner, shadow guide, and space-holder for women who want to remember what it feels like to be fully alive.

We go into reclamation, expression, devotion, play, and the messy, sacred process of becoming human again.

I weave together nervous system healing, shadow work, somatics, parts work, and spirituality, not to fix you, but to help you remember yourself.

Your body is the altar. Your desire is holy. Your expression is medicine.

If you’re tired of intellectualizing your healing, if you want to soften, scream, grieve, laugh, and create new patterns in real time — this work is for you.

let me introduce myself

Testimonials

Chloe B.

This retreat cracked me open, quite literally. I feel like a new woman. I have more confidence, I see my value, I realize my ability to connect to other humans on the deepest of levels.

Emily P.

The retreat truly transformed me in all ways. I left a different person than in which I came. It showed me that I can show up fully as myself, and that there are people out there who have gone through similar things. People that love me no matter what, and I should do the same for myself.

Ashlee C.

This retreat stirred up a lot of feelings inside of me - both good and uncomfy. It gave me the space and time to really sit with my feelings, and with some things that I’ve been running from for a while. It felt heavy at times, but in the way that feels like a huge transformation is coming, and I feel like that’s exactly what’s in store for me. This retreat opened my eyes to what’s possible for me, if I stop letting fear and doubt run the show, and get out of my own way.

Elyse L.

The retreat was deeply recharging mentally, physically, and emotionally because it was the first time I slowed down + took a step back out of my life in over 9 months (I got home from 1 year of travels and hit the ground running and never stopped). In that spaciousness I had the gift of perspective change and realizations of changes I needed to make in "normal" life to support myself differently, so now POST-RETREAT I have new practices and boundaries in place that have SIGNIFICANTLY positively impacted my well-being in all realms.
