A 4-Day In-Person Embodied Retreat · Good Commons, Plymouth, Vermont
UNAVAILABLE: The Retreat
Becoming Energetically Unavailable for What Is Not Yours
You Already Know This
You know exactly what a regulated nervous system feels like.
You've explained it to others a hundred times. But you can't remember the last time you actually felt it yourself.You've been holding the weight of everyone else's world — and you're exhausted in a way that no one around you fully sees. Not because you're weak. Because you're good at it.
You show up. You hold space. You track what everyone needs before they ask. And somewhere in the process, you stopped being one of the people in the room.
It's not burnout the way people talk about burnout.
It's quieter than that.
- The shoulders that never fully drop.
- The nervous system always running in the background.
- The bone-deep tiredness that sleep doesn't touch.
What's missing isn't more information.
It's the felt experience of actually being in your body — safe, steady, and yours.
Why August Exists
This retreat exists because of you.
Earlier this year, hundreds of women said the same thing:
"I want this. I need this.But I can't do June."
I sat with that for a few days. Because I know what it means when the woman who holds everything for everyone says the timing isn't right.
So I called Good Commons.
And I booked it again.
August is for the woman who said not yet —and meant I'm almost ready.
Who This Is For
The helpers. The doers.
The quietly, privately exhausted.
You don't need to be a yoga practitioner or a healer. You need to be a woman who is ready to finally be in the room as the one who receives.
What You'll Experience
Four days of coming back into yourself
Gentle Yoga & Movement
Slow, intentional, fully adaptable. Body-led, not performance-based. If you can breathe and move a little, you belong here.
Somatic Practices
Nervous system work designed to help your system settle and reorganize — naturally, without force, without catharsis.
Sound Healing
Deep ceremony and rest that support release at a pace your body chooses, not your mind directs.
Embodied Teaching
Woven directly into lived experience. No information overload. No more tools to carry home and never use.
Nourishing Food
All meals from dinner Thursday through lunch Sunday. Slow mornings, shared dinners. Your body taken care of from the moment you arrive.
The Green Mountains
Good Commons sits in the Vermont mountains. The land, the stillness, the air — they become part of the healing.

A Note on Timing
You're already thinking
August is complicated.
that's the pattern itself showing up to protect itself.
The busyness isn't the obstacle to coming.
The busyness is the reason to come.

From Women Who've Been Here
What happens when you
finally let yourself receive
I came completely depleted — physically, mentally, and spiritually. What I found was peace, clarity, and deep reconnection. It wasn't just a break — it was a turning point.

Your Guides
Pam & Cassia
Two paths, one shared space — where clinical understanding and earth-based practice come into relationship with each other.
Pam Godbois
Trauma-informed therapist · Somatic practitioner · Intuitive coachI spent over two decades as a therapist sitting with women in their pain. And for most of that time, I was living the paradox I now teach — I knew the language of the nervous system. I just couldn't feel my own. Until my body stopped letting me. What changed everything wasn't more insight. It was learning how to actually come back into my body — not as a concept. As a lived experience. That shift now lives at the center of everything I do.
Cassia
Yoga · Breathwork · Sound · Plant wisdomCassia's path didn't begin with training — it began with listening. Through the rhythms of the earth, tending soil, witnessing cycles of growth and decay, something deeper began to unfold. The garden became a teacher. Slowness became medicine. Based in the mountains of Vermont, she guides from a place where experience meets intuition — and where nothing needs to be forced to be felt.
