​When you hear the word "devotion," what's the first thing that comes into your mind?
You may have learned early on (as most women have) that devotion looks like giving it all, literally pouring your time, energy, and attention - your t.e.a. - into everyone and everything around you. You may have learned devotion carries a religious connotation only appropriate for organized worship under specific parameters. You may have learned that devotion is the label some people give to a state which is really closer to relational imbalance or codependence.
What would it feel like be devoted to YOU?
To trust, to honor, and to revere yourself so deeply that you will never betray yourself again?
You're invited to remember what it feels like to come home to yourself.
This year’s Joy Reset retreat will give you the time and space to explore what devotion to self can truly be. It's different for each of us, and you'll know it when you feel it. It may be uncomfortable at first, simply because it's unfamiliar. As you soften and start to reconnect with your own inner wisdom, you’ll see yourself in a whole new way. You’ll deepen connections between your thinking mind, your loving heart, your knowing intuition, and the divinity connected with your own highest Self.
And as you remember what it feels like to choose yourself again, to nurture your heart and soul, you’ll see that you will always be able to welcome yourself home.
​
This Joy Reset retreat is about:
-
moving in ways that help you tune in to your body, your own container
-
rebuilding trust and connection between your mind, heart, and inner knowing
-
creating a safe container to gently and honestly ask yourself, "what do I need?"
-
quieting that inner critic so you can listen and honor yourself
-
experimenting with a variety of practices to learn what feels best for you
​
It may be uncomfortable. And that is okay.
You will be safe, you will be seen, and you will be heard.
We’ll learn to embrace all of these pieces and integrate them to create a beautiful symphony that is you. You know there is another way to live because we see people doing it, every day.
If you're ready to become more of who you are truly here to be, this retreat is for you.
Taking care of ourselves fully allows us to show up for others in all the ways we want to. Self-care is an act of devotion, nurturance, and love. When you can welcome yourself home again and again, you rebuild a sense of trust within. When you nurture yourself, you begin to recognize that choosing yourself is essential if you truly wish to show up in the ways you want to for everyone and everything else in your life - for what matters most to you.
What is best for you is truly what is best for everyone!
​
We’ve concentrated this into a weekend to give you as much depth as possible so you feel safe, protected, dearly held, and deeply loved in our work together. This time will open up your inner spaces, making room for the practices to percolate and settle in. You will have a safe container to explore ideas, ask questions, and feel through what comes up.

-

Nourishing meals and replenishing snacks starting with Thursday dinner for early attendees, and Friday dinner through Sunday brunch for all

Opportunities to unpack your mental baggage
No matter what Life has dealt you so far, no matter how you have changed in the face of it, I want you to remember that you are still you at your core. This retreat is a way to return to your body and your Self, to remember what is most important to you, and to reclaim your unique you-ness that no one else can bring to the table.
Clarity will open the door for you to welcome yourself home.
Let’s reconnect with each other and with ourselves.

More FAQs:
Food allergies, sensitivities, intolerances?
There is a place on the registration form for you to indicate any specific dietary needs. The Nine Mountain website specifically states, “Our meal plans are designed individually for each group, and we do our best to accommodate all diets and dietary needs including gluten free, raw, etc.”
What if I get sick and can’t come?
We understand life happens. Due to the nature of this event, there are no refunds. If something prevents you from attending, you will be given 50% of your payment (whether deposit or full) as credit toward a future retreat.
Please say more about the yoga class - I’ve never done it before. Our yoga teacher, Denne Ziegler, has over 10 years of experience in instructing people from beginner to advanced levels of practice. The classes at our retreat are opportunities to move your body and open yourself up to the work being offered over the weekend. The poses are tailored to the group and the practices are curated specifically for our retreat.
I’m not flexible. Denne will provide modifications and brief demonstrations of alternate movements as needed.
What if I have physical limitations? It is strongly recommended that you check in with your medical professional (doctor, PT, etc) to identify what will be best for you. We do not give medical advice. Please be sure to practice within your own ability level at all times.
What if I want a private oracle card reading from Virginia? At this October 2025 retreat, Virginia will be offering readings on Thursday, October 23rd. The rest of the weekend is a group event with focus on providing the best experience for all attendees. If you are unable to attend on Thursday, we can talk about how to set up a reading with me in the weeks following the retreat. We’ll make it happen!
What if I want a private coaching session with Virginia? This is a group event with focus on providing the best experience for all attendees, so private coaching sessions can not be scheduled for the retreat weekend. We can talk about setting up a personal conversation in the weeks following the retreat.
This isn’t for you if:
-
You want the trick and aren’t ready to create the magic. If the idea of creating magic gives you butterflies, you’re in the right place!
-
You’re a skeptic hoping that someone will try to persuade you so that you can resist. We welcome all personal perspectives and opinions; we require kindness and respect.
-
Your idea of a relaxing weekend includes day drinking, shopping, and a party scene - zero judgment, this is simply not that environment.
