PAUSE
a 4-day retreat to access your flow
We live in a world where we give high status to ‘being busy.’
Yet, people are not designed to run constantly, machines are.
Don’t think of this retreat as ‘time off,’ but rather, ‘time in.’
Taking pause creates new rhythms and new ways of seeing.
It reveals new information, and often the kind that matters most.
These 4-days will be a nourishing and life giving journey to:
Reset your nervous system
Renew your senses
and Remember yourself as holy, whole, and wise
Join us in the sierra Foothills at a private residential retreat,
just minutes from the Yuba River
June. 20-23 2024
Check-in: Thursday 1pm | Check-out: Sunday 12pm
Over the years of holding space and teaching, I have found that our systems (body, mind, and soul) long for time to pause and tune in right around seasonal transitions. June 20th is Summer Solstice (the first day of Summer), so the dates and theme for this retreat are intentional and meant to serve you as we transition into a new season (and the mid-point of the year).
We will be exploring profound practices that activate our FLOW.
This is an opportunity to explore a deeper connection with yourself and with others, while also setting new pathways of ease and possibility within your very being. The focus of this retreat, while being nurturing and nourishing, will be all about ACTIVATION. Taking pause, when done right can activate your ‘superpowers’ and deepest creative wells. We will explore the concept of WIDENING - creating expansion/space in the body, so you can bring that into your dreams, your relationships, and your life. With a blend of exquisite energy cultivation rituals, somatic practices, insight work, mind/body release techniques, bodywork, deep relaxation, inspiring community, and the magic of nature - you will find this intentional pause to make a real and lasting difference. Plus, we are going to laugh so much and make deep, soul friendships that will last long after this experience.
Pause 2024: Sierra Foothills (near Nevada City, CA)
“PURE MAGIC! This was was hands down the best things I did for myself in 2017. Not only did I get to experience a completely magical part of the world with an incredible group of people, I also got to practice yoga and do some meaningful leadership and personal development work with one of my favorite mentors, Amber Campion. I’ve now been on three retreats with Amber and it’s clear that she puts her heart and soul into these trips and cares deeply about delivering a transformational experience to all who attend. I loved the intimate size of our group and connecting with other inspirational changemakers who are out there breaking molds and living a life they are passionate about. At the time of this retreat, I had recently started a new business, was in the midst of purchasing my first home, and was in a bit of a transitional time in my life. Amber helped me to get clear on a lot of my goals and helped me to transition into this new chapter of my life with a toolbox of knowledge that has proven to be very valuable. Amber and here team did an incredible job organizing this trip. As someone who organizes yoga retreats for a living, I know the amount of work that goes into providing a seamless travel experience, and they went above and beyond for all of us. Thank you for an incredible experience! I can’t wait to attend another retreat with you in the future!”
“Amber’s retreats are an exciting, organized, comfortable and safe way to travel. Meeting incredible people is definitely one of the highlights, I made friends for life! The atmosphere is one of acceptance and love. Amber’s teachings are extremely powerful to help us on our path of truth and happiness. She guided us through an unbelievable experience; I ended the journey a new person. I’m looking forward to next year’s destination! ”
What's included
3 nights / 4 days accommodations on a secluded forrest property in the sierra foothills by the Yuba River (about a 2-hour drive from Reno, NV)
Local, organic meals cooked by a private chef (she is magic!) + smoothies and elixirs!
Unlimited use of an incredible forrest spa: including large outdoor UV and colloidal silver filtered hot tub, Scandanavian-style cedar sauna, two soaking clawfoot tubs (for cold plunge or taking a hot nature bath!), outdoor showers, and changing room. Soaking under the stars and amongst the trees is a real treat of rejuvenation.

Access to trails winding through the forrest and a creek
1 group excursion to the Yuba River to lounge and swim (optional)
Daily yoga classes & transformational workshops/ceremonies with Amber
*Alcohol is not included, though you can bring your own if you want to imbibe in a glass of wine or a cocktail.
*There is plenty of parking space, though I do encourage carpooling. If flying in, I recommend connecting with me first, as it may be best to fly in and out of the Reno/Tahoe airport and carpool with a local driving up.
*High-speed WiFi is on the property if needed, though I encourage limiting your phone usage.
*Massage can be booked, though there is very limited space. If interested, please let me know once you secure your spot as I will need to book this out in advance.
*If you have specific dietary needs, please reach out via email once you have booked so I’m aware of your needs and can communicate this with the chef.

Common areas
THE MAGIC HOUSE: this is the main lodge where we can eat, hang out, play games, and relax
The classes + Workshops
Yoga + Transformational Workshops
Our workshops will be rich, meaningful, and deep. They will range from yoga (Dynamic Release Flows), breathwork, and experiential practices to connect deeper with yourself and build radical connection (with self and others). And THIS image is our studio space for the week! Depending on the weather, we will also practice outside on the star deck at times.
“I would travel far and wide to take class with you again. I’ve never met a teacher who has come close to the magnificence, presence, skill, and art of your classes.”

*The Red Door Studio + the Goddess Suite are near the magic house (where we eat and hang out at night) and also have 2 gorgeous modern bathrooms with a bathtub, just steps outside their rooms. Others can use these bathrooms, but you’ll find they don’t as their rooms have bathrooms much closer.
red door studio: SOLD OUT
*GODDESS SUITE (queen suite studio) with spiral staircase leading to the second floor entrance. Balcony with cafe table. Spiral staircase accessed. Heater/AC.
FULL PRICE: $1,599 (for 1 person) | $2,399 (for 2 people)
*The Red Door Studio + the Goddess Suite are near the magic house (where we eat and hang out at night) and also have 2 gorgeous modern bathrooms with a bathtub, just steps outside their rooms. Others can use these bathrooms, but you’ll find they don’t as their rooms have bathrooms much closer.
Goddess Suite: SOLD OUT

FULL PRICE: $1,399 (for 1 person) | $2,199 (for 2 people)
LOve den: SOLD OUT
*3 NATURE GLAMPING YURTS (Hillside Yurt, Forest Yurt, Creekside Yurt): furnished with queen beds, bedside table, lights, electrical outlets, heaters, fans, and air purifiers. These are close to the yoga dome and the crystal spa area and you’ll likely use the bathroom facilities there; however, there are additional (and super nice) bathrooms up by the main house as well. These yurts are SO cute - the photo above does not do it justice.
FULL PRICE: $1,399 (for 1 person) | $2,199 (for 2 people)
3 Nature Yurts: SOLD OUT
second row (from left to right):
*JEWEL LOFT (queen suite loft space) located above the crystal spa area (so if you need total silence this is not for you, as people tend to use the hot tub/cold plunge in the early morning around 6 or 7am, quite hours at night begin at 10pm). This is a GREAT option for someone who wants to be right at the spa, and doesn’t mind a bit of chatter as you’ll likely be among those people! Your home is an adorable loft space just above the spa (please note it is Ladder Accessed), with forest view, and has easy access to the outdoor showers and two bathrooms. There are also bathrooms up by the main house. Heater/fan.
FULL PRICE: $1,299 (for 1 person) | $2,099 (for 2 people)
Jewel Loft: SOLD OUT
*BLACK OAK BUNKHOUSE (sleeps 8): a 20-ft yurt with 4 comfy bunk beds. Propane heater and LED lanterns. Involves a slightly steep walk from the Madrone Hieron (yoga studio) and Crystal Spa. There is one outdoor (with a wall) bathroom; however, you will likely cross the small creek and head up the small, but slightly steep hill to the spa area and use those bathroom facilities there. We all mostly hangout at the spa or the main house (which has bathrooms). This outdoor toilet is more likely for midnight peeing. ;-) Last year the women in this bunkhouse LOVED it and said it was like being away at go-away camp as a child. If you’re looking to create sisterhood, book this bunkhouse!
FULL PRICE: $1,199 (for 1 person)
only 1 Bed left!
*3 LOTUS BELLE CANVAS TENTS (Camping - bring your own bedding): This is for the camp lovers out there! There are 3 camping belle tents on the property. This is just like camping, only a really nice, big canvas tent is set up for you when you arrive - you’ll need to bring your own bedding and gear (and know, it’s about a 10-minute walk from your car and down a short, but steep hill). There is a small pull cart you can use to bring your things and Peter can help you as well. The weather is likely to be wonderful in June, but do keep in mind, there is no A/C or heat for the tent unless you bring your own. There is one outdoor (with a wall) bathroom; however, you will likely cross the small creek and head up the small, but steep hill to the spa area and use those bathroom facilities. These tents are near the black oak bunk house and everyone out there for the last retreat seem to have a blast together. It’s a beautiful tree area.
FULL PRICE: $1099 (for 1 person)
only 1 BelLe Tent left!
