October 2-5, 2025
A sacred breathwork-focused retreat inspired and facilitated by Jenn Brooks
Hope Springs Institute in Peebles, Ohio (near Serpent Mound)
The invitation, the calling for...
Reinventing Radical Self-Care
This weekend offers an opportunity to pause, reconnect, and recharge. It's a time to re-member and re-group, bask in friendship, and be seen in our authentic truth.
A New Approach to Self-Care
Breathwork Intensives create a sacred space for this “new” form of self-care — one that nurtures both the body, the emotional body and the mind.
Early Reservations
Early reservations are now open for those who have worked with me through retreats, classes, or workshops and are familiar with the integrity and power of my offerings.
Retreat Details
The retreat will be focused on restoration, with ample time to connect with nature, relax, and enjoy meaningful friendships. You’ll have the freedom to explore through leisurely walks, meditation, journaling, singing, or any other practice that helps you integrate and recharge.
The full itinerary and details about any additional facilitators will be shared in the summer of 2025.

Why a Retreat?
A retreat is a special kind of vacation. Taking a weekend away from the demands of everyday life offers numerous physical, emotional, and mental benefits. Disconnecting from technology is essential for resetting our nervous systems and nurturing our well-being.
A Weekend to Remember
Think of this weekend as an adult summer camp — a space to make new friends, play, laugh, and enjoy nature. It’s a safe environment for growth, learning, and self-discovery.
You might lose track of time, rediscover your creative spark, and learn to be more fully present in your body.
Welcome.
I'm Jenn, your facilitator and guide throughout the weekend. And Jack is my friend and amazing sound and ceremonial healer who is joining me as a co-facilitator throughout the weekend, offering sacred sound, cacao ceremony and Lucia Light sessions (light sessions are an add-on).

Frequently Asked Questions
Don't worry, we got you. Here are some answers for your questions.
Where will this retreat be held?
This retreat will be held at the Hope Springs Institute in Peebles County, Ohio. Serpent Mound is close by.
How do I get there?
The retreat center is located at 4988 Mineral Springs Rd, Peebles, OH 45660. The local time zone is Eastern Standard Time. If you are interested in carpooling please let me know, and I will connect you to others driving in from your city or airport if applicable.
When should I arrive? Depart?
October 2 (afternoon) is arrival and departure is October 5 (late morning to noon). The exact times will be determined at a later date.
Who is this retreat for?
This is a female-centric retreat for multi-generations of women on a healing path or identified as community healers. Retreating with you, expect to find grandmothers, mothers, sisters, friends, and daughters.
Shared and private room options:
Shared rooms are available with space for 2-3 people in separate beds. Priority for shared rooms is given to those traveling with a roommate. If interested in being matched with a roommate, please let me know on your booking form. I will do my best to meet requests. Guaranteed private rooms are available as well.
Accessibility
Paved, uncovered footpaths connect the Dining Hall, Studio, and Farmhouse, while there is a short walk over grass to reach the Spirit House. There is ADA rooming/bathrooms available. Please let me know if you have any specific needs or questions and we can discuss in greater detail.
Food:
Nourishing chef-crafted meals will be prepared for us each day and you’ll have access to tea and snacks throughout the retreat. Please let me know of any dietary needs on your registration form. There is a kitchen provided in the farmhouse to bring and prepare your own food or snacks.
What do I need to supply or bring?
Plan to bring clothing appropriate for the weather and a few personal items to create an altar space as we honor our time together. I’ll share a suggested packing list as we get closer, including some restorative yoga props.
What shouldn't I bring?
There is no cell service at Hope Springs, so plan on taking a little technology break and leave any unnecessary devices at home. Wi-Fi, and a landline telephone, are available if needed. Hope Springs is an alcohol-free and drug-free environment so leave those items at home as well.
Do I need yoga, meditation experience?
Absolutely NOT. I teach an accessible practice for all (or most) bodies and use chairs and a variety of props for those who need more accessibility for joint immobility. Yoga is a practice for any body. If you have a body, you have a yoga body. Meditation is guided by my voice throughout the practice. If you wish, you will have time available for silent and walking meditations on your own. Please email me with any concerns or questions.
More About Breathwork
The breakthrough experience is a breathwork journey that immerses you in self-exploration to release and align so you may express yourself with vibrancy and clarity. The process is simple: You'll be set up with surround sound headphones and an optional eye covering to create relaxation and a space for personal transformation. You will be guided through several rounds of breathing with the elements (earth, water, air, fire) paired with high vibrational beats to keep you in rhythmic, circular breathing. The last half of class is a guided meditation for heart-healing through your inner sanctuary, followed by time for integration. We will end with a gathering in a circle for final words of affirmation or sharing. These breathwork journeys foster a space for deep healing, personal discovery, and navigating challenging emotions and outdated beliefs and patterns. You'll be supported in a safe and caring environment with fellow travelers. Learn More Here. Read Online Waiver here (you will sign the waiver upon check-in at the retreat to participate in Breathwork sessions.)
Pricing and Payments:
The average price for this weekend retreat, all-inclusive with accommodations and meals is $960. After I receive your completed registration form, I'll reply with payment options.
Cancellation Policy
Whether you are paying in full, or in installments of your choice, your reservation is confirmed when I have received your 30% deposit. The deposit is non-refundable. There are no refunds after August 31st. Before September 1st, if the retreat is not full, and someone takes your place, you may be refunded less deposit. Insurance and Cancellations: I recommend purchasing travel insurance for your own peace of mind. In the very unlikely circumstance that our retreat is impacted by forces beyond our control and the retreat is cancelled, your fees and payments may be retained and our gathering rescheduled. This is the best option due to the significant amount of planning and investment both on the side of the facilitator and our venue.
Life happens! Please reach out and we'll do our best to figure it out together.
Get In Touch
Let's Connect
Prior to the retreat, I found it challenging to choose classes/times/locations for experiences/services.
The retreat setting/schedule allows for me to set aside a chunk of time for these experiences. I also found myself avoiding quiet time/meditation practices/energetic clearings, etc. that I had previously been drawn to following some challenging experiences in my life over the past couple of years - before attending the retreat this past weekend.
Today, I feel more intentional and present/mindful in the "grind," of everyday life. I feel lighter and excited/inspired again about my journey vs. feeling that I couldn't/didn't want to face my emotions that might come up doing this kind of work for myself and someday (maybe) again as a practitioner.
I have noticed that I am no longer having so many "sticky spots," related to feeling negative emotions.
Jenn's retreat allowed me the space and opportunities to process them effectively (and on an energetic level). I did not realize how much energy that avoidance or perhaps choosing to (stand on a platform of suffering) was costing me. I chose to step down from that platform this past weekend and feel more open now and at peace.
I can also say that my light feels a lot less dim (which life will do, in my experience, from time to time) and Jenn's tools always bring me back to my inner home.
