UNAVAILABLE: The Retreat
June 4th-7th, 2026
Becoming Energetically Unavailable for What Is Not Yours
A 4-Day In-Person Embodied Retreat | Good Commons, Plymouth, Vermont
You know exactly what a regulated nervous system feels like.
Maybe you've explained it to others hundreds of 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. Your clients regulate. Your students settle. The people in your life lean in — because you've made it safe for them to.
And somewhere in the process, you stopped being one of the people in the room.
You're not burned out in the way people talk about burnout. It's quieter than that.
It's the shoulders that never fully drop. The nervous system that's always running in the background. The bone-deep tiredness that sleep doesn't touch.
You've tried rest. You've taken the vacation. You may have even done your own therapy, your own healing work.
And still — there's a version of you that hasn't fully exhaled in years.
What's missing isn't more information. It's not another tool or practice or framework.
It's the felt experience of actually being in your body — safe, steady, and yours.
This is what UNAVAILABLE was created for.
Not relief. Not a pause.
A stabilizing, embodied initiation into becoming energetically unavailable for what is not yours — and deeply available to yourself.
This is the work of learning to put down the heaviness. Not bypass it. Not push through it. Put it down.
We don't shut down sensitivity to survive. We don't "high-vibe" our way out of reality. We don't add more to your already full life.
We come back into the body — because the body is where steadiness actually lives.
Here, you'll learn how to stay open without absorbing everything.
How to stop bracing.
How to hold yourself the way you've been holding everyone else.
What This Retreat Is Really About
Over four intentionally paced days, we create the internal conditions that allow your nervous system and energetic body to reorganize — naturally and sustainably.
This is not about fixing yourself. It's not about pushing for change. It's not about leaving your life behind.
It's about stabilization.
We work through the body because the body doesn't lie. It remembers what the mind has adapted around.
Here, you don't force release. You build enough safety and steadiness for release to happen on its own.
This retreat is an initiation into:
Learning how your energy actually moves through your body
Recognizing where you've been unconsciously bracing or over-functioning
Restoring a felt sense of internal authority and containment
Understanding the difference between being open and being unprotected
Coming home to a version of yourself that doesn't need to manage everything to feel okay
What You’ll Experience
Across four days, you’ll be guided through somatic practices, nervous system regulation, and embodied energetic work designed to help you:
Recognize and release chronic tension patterns held in the body
Stabilize your nervous system so you're no longer living in a constant state of "on"
Understand where your energy leaks — and how to call it back
Reconnect with your body's natural rhythms and internal cues
Feel the difference between knowing about groundedness and actually inhabiting it
Leave with a different internal orientation — one you can return to again and again
This work unfolds slowly and intentionally. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is forced.
As your system stabilizes, clarity follows — not because you tried harder, but because your body finally has enough support to settle.
You don't leave this retreat with a temporary high.
You leave having put down something you've been carrying for a very long time.
You do not need to be a yogi.
Yoga is part of this retreat — but not in the way you might expect.
Movement here is slow, intentional, and fully adaptable. There are no expectations around flexibility, strength, or prior experience.
Yoga is used as a tool for nervous system regulation, gentle supported release, and rebuilding trust with your body.
This is not performance-based movement. It's body-led.
If you can breathe and move a little, you belong here.
What our days will feel like
This retreat is intentionally paced.
There is structure — and there is spaciousness.
Each day follows a gentle rhythm designed to support regulation, integration, and rest.
Morning ✨ Slow mornings to ease your body awake ✨ Gentle yoga and embodied movement ✨ Grounded teaching woven directly into lived experience
Midday ✨ Nourishing lunch ✨ Unstructured free time — naps, walks, journaling, or simply being
Afternoon ✨ Guided workshop or somatic practice focused on release, regulation, or deeper self-understanding ✨ Sound healing
Evening ✨ Dinner together ✨ Restorative or somatic yoga to unwind and integrate ✨ Quiet evenings, with early nights encouraged
You are not required to participate in everything. You are invited to listen inward and respond accordingly.
Over the four days, you’ll experience:
Gentle yoga and embodied movement designed to support regulation, not performance
Somatic practices that help your nervous system settle and reorganize
Teaching woven directly into lived experience — no information overload
Guided reflection and journaling to deepen integration
Sound ceremony and deep rest to support release
Time in nature to ground and restore
Spaciousness — so your body can slow down and reconnect on its own timeline
Nothing here is about doing more.
Everything is designed to help you come back into yourself — steadily and sustainably.
Who the Unavailable Retreat is for:
This retreat is for you if:
You're the therapist, coach, teacher, helper, healer or woman who holds space for others with extraordinary skill — and quietly holds your own weight alone.
You know the language of the nervous system. You can probably explain co-regulation, somatic release, and window of tolerance in your sleep. And you live, too often, outside of your own window.
That's not a character flaw. It's what the work does to you when you haven't had the right container for yourself.
You're ready for this if:
You're exhausted in a way that sleep doesn't fix
You know what nervous system regulation is — and rarely actually feel it
You've been the strong one long enough that you've forgotten what it feels like to be held
You give generously and return to yourself on fumes
You want to stop managing your life from your head and start living it from your body
You're ready to put down the heaviness — not push through it, not reframe it — put it down
A note about timing:
If you're already thinking "I would love this, but June is complicated" — I need you to sit with that for a moment.
The woman who is always available for everyone else will always find a reason why the timing isn't right. There will always be a client who needs you, a class to teach, a person depending on you.
That's not a scheduling problem. That's exactly the pattern this retreat was built to address.
The question isn't whether you need this. You already know the answer to that.
The question is whether you're going to let the timing be the reason you say no to yourself again.
This retreat may not be for you if:
You want a packed schedule and constant stimulation
You're not willing to slow down and be with yourself
You're looking for information rather than transformation
If the first list felt like being seen — you're exactly who this was created for.
Yes, I'm ready to come home to myself.
Spots are limited to 16 women. Once they're gone, they're gone.
The Retreat Location
Good Commons | Plymouth, VT
Good Commons was chosen intentionally.
It's quiet. Grounded. Surrounded by nature.
The environment doesn't distract you from the work — it becomes part of it. Something shifts when your body is held by land, by stillness, by a space that has no agenda for you.
Everything about Good Commons encourages you to slow down, come inward, and feel held without being overwhelmed.
Good Commons is a fully renovated 4,700 square foot home combining modern amenities with over 150 years of tradition as a space for rest and restoration. The ground floor includes a yoga studio, dining room, and commercial kitchen.
To view additional house information including a floor plan, CLICK HERE!
This retreat is intentionally small.
Good Commons holds 20 women. That's the container — and it's not changing.
Small means you're not anonymous here.
Small means Pam & Cassia know your name by the first evening.
Small means your nervous system isn't navigating a crowd — it's settling into a community.
When these spots are filled, they're filled. No waitlist overflow. No extra rooms. No exceptions.
June 4th arrives whether you're ready or not.
When We Work Together
There are moments when two paths converge — bringing together different ways of working, sensing, and supporting healing into one shared space.
This retreat is one of those moments.
Pam and Cassia each bring decades of experience guiding women back into connection — with their bodies, their breath, and their deeper inner knowing. Their approaches are distinct and deeply complementary.
Together, they create an environment that is both grounding and expansive — where clinical understanding and earth-based practice, structure and intuition, come into relationship with each other.
Participants are held from multiple angles — through nervous system awareness, movement, breath, sound, and connection to the natural world.
The result is a space that feels intentional, alive, and safe — where each woman can meet herself in a deeper way.
We can't wait to share these gifts with you. XO, Pam & Cassia
Meet Pam
I spent over two decades as a therapist — sitting with women in their pain, helping them find words for what their bodies already knew.
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.
I held space for everyone else while quietly pushing through my own exhaustion. I taught regulation while bracing. I guided women home to their bodies while being quietly homeless in mine.
Until my body stopped letting me.
In 2021, I experienced a heart block that required a pacemaker. What followed were years of complications — a lead fracture, and in 2025, a diagnosis of systemic sarcoidosis affecting my heart.
Looking back, my body had been speaking for a long time. I had just been too trained — too needed, too capable — to listen.
What changed everything for me wasn't more insight or more information.
It was learning how to actually come back into my body — through breath, movement, and somatic work. Not as concepts. As lived experience.
That shift now lives at the center of everything I do.
I'm a trauma-informed therapist, intuitive coach, and somatic practitioner with over 25 years of experience. I work primarily with women in helping roles — therapists, coaches, educators, healers — who are capable, insightful, and quietly exhausted.
Women who have done the work. And still feel like something is missing.
What's missing is usually the body.
You don't need more information. You need a different experience of yourself.
That's what this work is built on.
Meet Cassia
Cassia’s path into wellness didn’t begin with training—it began with listening.
After decades immersed in yoga, breath, and healing traditions, there came a moment when all the structure and discipline she had learned no longer felt like enough.
Her body asked for something quieter, more honest.
Not performance.
Not perfection.
Just presence.
It was through the rhythms of the earth—tending soil, working with her hands, witnessing cycles of growth and decay—that something deeper began to unfold. The garden became a teacher.
Slowness became medicine.
And the practices she once led from memory began to rise instead from within.
Cassia now guides from that place—where experience meets intuition, and where nothing needs to be forced to be felt.
Her work weaves together decades of experience in yoga, breathwork, sound, and plant wisdom, but it is rooted in something far more essential:
helping others come back into relationship with their own body, their own pace, their own knowing.
Based in the mountains of Vermont, where she tends heirloom gardens and lives close to the land, Cassia offers spaces that invite people to soften, listen, and remember what is already alive within them.
There is a quiet power in her presence—one that doesn’t ask you to become anything, only to return.
Testimonials
“I came to the retreat at Good Commons completely depleted—physically, mentally, and spiritually. What I found was peace, clarity, and deep reconnection. The daily yoga, meditation, healing music, and nourishing food wrapped me in warmth and acceptance. It wasn’t just a break—it was a turning point. I still practice the golden ball imagery daily and feel such lasting peace. So grateful.”
Lori S. - MH Therapist
"The retreat was exactly what I didn’t know I needed. I walked in anxious, but Pam created an environment where I felt supported and comfortable. I learned how crucial mindfulness and self-care are, and left with a refreshed mindset, ready to prioritize my well-being. Plus, I made lasting connections with incredible women. I can’t recommend this experience enough!" –
Mackenzie M. - Admission Director
“This retreat left me feeling reignited and cracked wide open—in the best possible way. As a total yoga newbie, I felt completely comfortable and cared for, and every meal felt like awe-inspiring soul food. But what stayed with me most was the magic of being in a space where trust, vulnerability, and understanding flowed without judgment. That unspoken connection with others—that’s what I’ll carry with me.”
