Once upon a time…

…you dreamed of a life that felt magical.

Not perfect, but rich. Real. Full of color, texture, depth. 

You imagined mornings that didn’t start in a panic, days that had space to breathe, evenings that felt soft around the edges. 

You thought you'd feel different by now—settled, maybe even joyful.

But here you are. 

Moving through your days with practiced precision. Meetings, messages, logistics, care. 

You are impressive in your capacity. 

And still, there are moments—subtle and fleeting—when the ache slips through. In the grocery store line. While brushing your teeth. A heaviness behind your ribs. A voice inside that whispers, Is this all there is?.

You wonder if the version of you who once dreamed was naïve. 

If the magic she believed in was just a story. 

If maybe this low-grade exhaustion, this endless managing, is just what life is. 

And yet, when you let yourself feel—even for a breath—you know it’s not the whole truth. You know something is missing. 

Or maybe, someone is missing. 

You.

And there’s grief in that. 

Grief you don’t have time to feel. 

Because the calendar keeps filling. The inbox keeps growing. And you keep showing up. Telling yourself you're okay, even when something in your bones knows otherwise.

What if the version of you who dreamed wasn’t naïve—but wise? And she’s still in there, waiting, buried under the weight of your life.


This is the day you remember who you are—and begin creating a life that honors her.

and this is exactly why I created…

A Sacred Pause: Reconnect, Release, Reclaim

We’ll gather for a full day at Sunrise Ranch, nestled in one of Colorado’s most peaceful valleys—a place that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what’s real.

In the style of a women’s circle, this intimate, small-group retreat blends somatic movement, guided meditation, sound, ritual, time in nature, and soulful sharing in community. You and 9 other women will be held in a sacred container that invites you to reconnect with yourself, release what you’ve been carrying, and reclaim the parts of you that have been waiting to be heard.

A nourishing farm-to-table lunch and afternoon snack are included to support and replenish you.

Your guide, Sonny Miles, MD, is a healer who bridges worlds—science and soul, medicine and mystery. She will walk beside you as you journey inward, offering a space of safety, insight, and deep remembering.

And when you leave?

Your life won’t change because everything is suddenly figured out.
It will change because something true stirred inside you—something ancient, steady, and deeply yours. You’ll feel it in the stillness of your body, in the tenderness of your breath, in the way you look at yourself with more softness.

You’ll walk away not with answers, but with remembrance—of your beauty, your power, and the wisdom that has always lived inside you, waiting for you to come home.

When you return to your life, it will still be full.
But you’ll move through it differently. You’ll pause before saying yes. You’ll be brave enough to say no when your body tells you it’s time. You’ll make space—maybe just five minutes—to check in, to breathe, to listen.

Small shifts will ripple outward. Because your needs matter. Your wisdom leads. And with that as your guide, new possibilities begin to rise—ones that feel nourishing, not depleting. Ones that feel like you.

This sacred pause isn’t the end of the story.
It’s the moment you begin writing a new one—with truth, with tenderness, with you at the center.

At A Sacred Pause…

You’ll experience an Intimate Circle for Deep, Personal Support

This isn’t a large retreat where you quietly disappear into the background.
This is an intimate circle of no more than 10 women—small by design, so there is space for depth, connection, and personal guidance.

Here, your journey inward will be supported every step of the way. You’ll have direct support, feedback, and reflection from both me and the group throughout the day. The space is intentionally created for give and take—so that your insights are nurtured, your questions are honored, and your experience is uniquely yours.

This is a rare chance to step away from the noise, be seen in your truth, and have someone walk beside you as you reconnect to yourself.

You’ll be Led by a Guide Who Has Walked the Path

Your guide, Sonny Miles, MD, is an expert facilitator, intuitive healer, and skilled space holder. She is also a conventionally trained physician who has walked her own profound healing journey. Over the years, she has explored the mind, body, and spirit from many angles and her deepest work has been weaving these threads together—creating truly integrated practices that meet the whole person.

Sonny doesn’t just teach this work—she embodies it. She knows what it takes to turn inward, to listen, and to create space for transformation. She will lead you deep into yourself with both courage and care—because she knows that real transformation often lives beneath the surface.

She isn’t afraid of hard conversations, difficult emotions, or the tender places you may have avoided. Her work goes to the roots—meeting grief, pain, and the buried stories that still shape how you live. And she will hold steady as you meet them too, creating a space that is safe enough, brave enough, and sacred enough for you to come home to yourself.

You’ll be Transformed by A Thoughtfully Crafted Container

A Sacred Pause is intentionally designed to create a space that truly supports deep healing. Each element of the day works together to help you reconnect with yourself and invite change that lasts.

Guided meditation, reflective writing, and sharing invite you to slow down, turn inward, and connect with your truth.
Ritual and somatic movement then invite the release of emotions or patterns you’ve been carrying, gently moving energy that has been stuck.
Sound and the natural surroundings nurture and regulate your nervous system, creating a sense of ease and spaciousness in both body and mind.

And in a circle of women, you’ll be witnessed—held and seen in a way that changes the experience. Healing in community is different than the healing we do alone. It is deeper. Stronger. More sustaining.

This day is a container for what’s ready to be felt, released, and reclaimed—with support to carry that shift into your life beyond the retreat.

You’ll be Held by the Land

A Sacred Pause unfolds at Sunrise Ranch, a spiritual retreat center nestled in a beautiful valley in Loveland, CO.

By November, the leaves will have turned, the air will have chilled, and the season will invite us to turn inward. The crisp air, warm sunlight, and quiet beauty of nature create the perfect backdrop for deep inner work.

This is a place that has been home to healing work for many years—and the energy of that work lingers in both the land and the space itself. When we step into it, we are held not only by the earth beneath our feet but by the collective healing energy that has been cultivated here over time.

You’ll be nourished with a farm-to-table lunch and snack, supporting your body as you nourish your spirit.

It’s the kind of place that invites you to pause, breathe, and remember what matters.

FAQs

  • Yes. And somewhere along the way, you learned that your needs come second. That being a good woman means showing up, holding it all, and rarely asking for anything in return.

    But your body is speaking—tight, tired, done.
    And your soul keeps whispering: not like this. You know it’s time.

    A Sacred Pause was created for exactly this moment—when the doing has taken over, and the being has been lost.

    It’s not just a retreat. It’s a radical act of remembering that you matter.

    Not after everything else is handled. Not when it’s convenient. Now.

  • It’s hard to spend money on yourself—especially when you’re so used to giving. Care, energy, time, attention… those flow out easily. But when it comes to receiving? To investing in you? That’s where the resistance rises.

    But here’s the truth: you are the foundation of your life.
    And tending to yourself—your body, your spirit, your aliveness—is not extra.
    It’s everything.

    A Sacred Pause isn’t just one day.
    It’s an investment in the life you say you want, not the one you’ve been settling for.

  • Tentative Flow of the Day

    Opening
    We begin in circle, opening sacred space and rooting into intention. This is where we arrive fully, grounding into presence and calling forth the day together.

    Reconnect
    A journey inward — returning to your deepest self. Through meditation, altar-making, journaling, and inquiry, you’ll begin to see where you may have abandoned yourself, where your life has drifted out of alignment with what you most need. This is a space for deep truth — and in truth, many emotions can arise: grief, pain, joy, liberation, celebration. Here you are invited to feel it all, to be witnessed, and to remember what is real and vital within you.

    Nourishment
    A midday pause for food and rest, nourishing body and spirit in community.

    Release
    We turn toward what is ready to be shed. Through embodied movement and ritual, we honor where we’ve been and let go of what no longer serves — pain, grief, shame, other people’s expectations, and the old stories we’ve carried that no longer fit. In loosening their hold, we create the spaciousness to step into a truer, more powerful, more authentic version of ourselves.

    Reclaim
    With sound, affirmation, movement, and writing, we anchor a new way of seeing and being into our bodies and our energy. We call ourselves back — our voice, our joy, our belonging, our courage — and commit to living in alignment with what matters most. Here, we are witnessed not only in our letting go but in our rising.

    Closing
    We gather once more in circle, honoring what has been opened, moved, and reclaimed. Together, we seal the container of the day — carrying forward the wisdom, clarity, and strength that has emerged.
