Pause 2024

Are you a woman who needs an intentional pause from the whirlwind of obligations and commitments that swallow the days, weeks, and months of life? Do you need uninterrupted time to reflect — where you are right now and where you are heading next?  Would you allow me to guide you through a carefully crafted weekend experience where you can answer the important, but not necessarily urgent questions?  

What's Included?

Pause is limited to a select group of seven women just like you.

  • Two nights at The Legris Home, one of the last historical homes in Bourbonnais, an hour south of Chicago
  • One-hour one on one coaching session with Amy 
  • Four group coaching sessions with other attendees
  • Hot yoga class
  • Saturday dinner prepared by a private chef
  • All meals, drinks, snacks
  • Your own bedroom

Participants will dig into questions like:

  • Am I using my unique gifts to serve the world? 
  • What am I resisting? What is the root of the resistance? 
  • What is draining me most? To what or to whom am I giving too much?  
  • How are my support systems?  Where do I need more help or less?
  • What am I supposed to create next?  What will that require?

Our Luxury Location

This year we're excited to be in The Legris Home, one of the last historical homes in Bourbonnais. The original log cabin home was built in 1857 by Joseph Legris and is beautifully renovated, just a one-hour drive from Chicago. We'll start our program on Friday at 6:00 pm CDT and will end at 11:00 am CDT on Sunday.

If you're flying in, Midway is a little closer than O'Hare, and you should plan to arrive in Chicago by 3:00 pm Friday and after 1:00 pm Sunday.

Pause 2022 & 2023

Take a look at some of the fun we had in 2022 and 2023!

Had we not said yes to this weekend retreat, we most certainly would have filled our time with errands, cooking for our families, answering our emails, and anything else that was loud enough to move us to action. But because we made a choice for ourselves, to leave the busyness of our regular routine, we experienced intentional rest in a powerful way. We were quiet. We paused, and in pausing we came alive.

Our time together drew all of us to new realizations. We asked and answered hard questions. We contemplated our life choices—the big stuff like marriage, careers, and health. It was a safe space to be vulnerable. This vulnerability revealed our value. Understanding our value is the greatest realization we could ever know. We paused, and in pausing we internalized our worth.
