More than a retreat
The Power of the Pause is for women navigating the hormonal and energetic shifts of perimenopause, menopause, and beyond — a time when the nervous system, metabolism, muscle tone, sleep, and clarity all call for deeper support. Set in the sacred red rock landscape of Sedona, this 4-night luxury retreat invites you to rest, reset, and rediscover your strength.
Led by internationally renowned teacher Jennifer More — a pioneer in women’s wellness, corrective movement, and nervous system healing — this experience offers more than relaxation. It’s a chance to reclaim your body, your clarity, and your power.
You’ll leave with practical tools to support pelvic health, core strength, restful sleep, and emotional resilience — along with a deeper sense of calm, vitality, and connection. Whether you’re seeking answers, healing, or simply space to breathe, this retreat is designed to support the next chapter of your life — one rooted in strength, clarity, and self-trust.
A Meaningful Pause
In this short video, Jennifer shares the vision behind The Power of the Pause retreat, what makes this experience unique, and why this season of life holds so much potential for strength, clarity, and renewal.

The heart of your transformation starts here
Science & Soul Workshops
Each day includes immersive sessions from The Power of the Pause curriculum — a powerful blend of evidence-based education, somatic practices, and meaningful, guided conversation. These workshops are not lectures — they are embodied learning experiences that connect the dots between science, spirit, and your lived experience as a woman.
With Jennifer’s warm, grounded guidance, you’ll explore key insights from neuroscience, hormone research, movement science, and trauma-informed care — all translated into practical, approachable tools you can begin using right away.
Nervous System Regulation
Learn how hormonal changes influence your stress response — and discover simple, science-backed tools to calm your system, improve sleep, and support emotional balance.
The Evolving Core
Breath patterns, posture, hormonal shifts, and past experiences — including pregnancy, no matter how long ago — all affect your core. You’ll learn how to reconnect to pelvic floor and abdominal health through gentle, functional movement that supports long-term strength and alignment.
Hormones & Brain Health
As hormone levels shift, you may notice changes in sleep, focus, or mood. Explore ways to support your mind and body through these transitions with clarity and compassion.
Movement as Medicine
Discover how to move in ways that fuel energy, support your joints, and ease inflammation — without overexertion or pushing through discomfort.
Body Memory & Somatic Re-patterning
Our bodies carry the imprints of life: tension, habits, trauma, and caregiving. Learn how to gently unwind those patterns using breath, awareness, and mindful movement.
Redefining Strength
This is a season of potential, not decline. Through guided reflection and conversation, you’ll explore what it means to honor your body, trust your inner voice, and step into what’s next — on your terms.

Sacred Nature Connection
Explore Sedona’s healing landscape on a guided hike through stunning red rock trails. Let the land nourish your body, quiet your mind, and reconnect you to something greater.
More about our guided hike
Let the land support your healing. As part of your retreat, you’ll be guided on one or two half-day hikes through Sedona’s awe-inspiring red rock landscape. These experiences are more than a walk — it’s an invitation to ground, breathe, and remember your place in the natural world.
Possible trails include Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock Vortex, Boynton Canyon, Airport Mesa Loop, or the West Fork Trail — each offering its blend of beauty, serenity, and sacred presence. Whether you’re called to sweeping views or quiet forest paths, this journey meets you where you are.
Insight & Energy Alignment
One evening, you’ll be invited to join a Group Intuitive Reading — a shared experience led by a trusted local guide, offering insight, clarity, and connection as you move through your personal transformation. These sessions are designed to meet you exactly where you are — softening the mind, awakening intuition, and inviting in a sense of calm alignment.
Women’s Experience & Community
This retreat is about more than personal healing — it’s also about community. You’ll be part of a small group of women moving through similar transitions, all gathered in a spirit of curiosity, care, and mutual respect. Through shared meals, quiet moments, meaningful conversation, and supportive group sessions, we’ll hold space for each other’s stories and discover the power of healing in community.
Down Time & Spaciousness
Spaciousness is a core part of this retreat. Each day includes open time to rest, integrate, or simply do nothing at all. You might choose to float in the pool, sit with a journal, hike a nearby trail, or enjoy quiet conversation with new friends. Whether you’re craving stillness or movement, solitude or connection, this time is yours — free from pressure and full of possibility.
Restorative Welcome Kit
To support your journey both during and after the retreat, each guest will receive a thoughtfully curated wellness gift. This special take-home includes a selection of calming and nourishing tools — chosen to complement your retreat experience and extend its impact once you return home. Every detail is designed to remind you of your strength, your intention, and your capacity for ongoing transformation.
