Would I attend this retreat again? Yes, absolutely. Karen’s retreats are a must for women who spend most of their time taking care of everyone else—whether it’s work, family, or all the day-to-day responsibilities—and rarely give themselves the same attention. This retreat gives you the space to reset, reconnect with yourself, and ground your mind and body. You get quiet time to reflect and realign, while also being supported by other women who are navigating similar phases in life.

Karen’s retreat guest

Karen Baskett is a huge part of why this retreat feels so special. She’s not just knowledgeable and calm—she’s witty, funny, a little silly in the best way, and brings an energy that makes you feel instantly at ease. Her expertise in Ayurveda and women’s hormonal health combined with her realness and humor creates a safe, uplifting environment to learn, heal, and grow. She makes the experience both meaningful and enjoyable. This retreat experience is the kind of retreat that stays with you long after you've returned home.

Karen’s retreat guest

I needed some time away from the world where I just focused on myself . I was very frazzled and exhausted before I arrived!

Karen’s retreat guest

I decided to join this retreat experience because I was feeling worn down and overwhelmed by the constant noise in my mind. The wellness guidance and supportive environment really spoke to me, and I came hoping to reset, gain clarity and reconnect with myself.
