• Would you like to attend a guided retreat with a favorite teacher and save hundreds if not thousands of dollars?
  
  
• Do you yearn to connect -- again and again -- with all that is true and strong and wise within yourself?
  
  
• Or do you simply yearn to hear yourself think?
  
  
• Do you love to retreat but sometimes lose the thread of your experience or feel like your retreats peter out? Would you like to go deeper but aren’t sure how to do it on your own?
  
  
• Or are you faced with a particular issue, block, or question that you would like gentle guidance engaging with, and perhaps transforming?

Then Audio Sacred Pause Retreats may be just what you are looking for.

I've had a hankering to create self-guided audio retreats for years. I know how much I love to retreat and yet how difficult it can be to create satisfying, varied, deeply refreshing retreats all on one's own. I always take along the voices of teachers on audio to help me -- yet there are so few experiential programs that are also structured as spiritual retreats. I longed for that.

Hence the creation of Audio Sacred Pause Retreats: a way to utilize the mystery of the retreat archetype to drop into your deep wisdom and knowing, to change your perceptions, to brainstorm, to ignite your creativity, to deeply listen and rest... who knows what else we will dream up together as this series unfolds!

"Your Audio Sacred Pause Retreat blew me away. It's like having your own personal guide, leading you gently yet firmly into inquiries to reconnect with your very soul. It makes all the difference to have both the workbook and your recorded facilitation. Thank you for making this available at such a reasonable price!" ~Molly Gordon, Master Certified Coach, author of Authentic Promotion: Grow Your Business, Feed Your Soul

Illuminating, heartening, funny, refreshing, candid and spiritually satisfying -- or at least that is my intention -- these condensed (approximately 45 to 75 minutes) guided retreats are highly portable, designed to be experienced over and over again, and to be tailored to give you exactly what you need each time you retreat.

• A short talk on the subject we are exploring.
• An invocation of the retreat archetype.
• Powerful activities like journaling, meditation, movement, collage, sketching, and guided visualization.
• Clearly indicated moments in which you can stop the recording and extend the retreat using the accompanying retreat workbook (in a crisply designed PDF format) to enlarge and expand your retreat -- when you want!
• A caring voice to help you feel heartened and heard, and to encourage self-compassion.

"Jennifer is such an inspiration. Her sincerity and genuine concern is obvious. Her sessions are lively and entertaining and filled with valuable information. I only regret that I cannot attend each and every one of her events" ~Jane Cowart

Each program is designed as a multi-dimensional retreat -- not a lecture or an intellectual experience, but an actual step-by-step mind, body, and heart exploration of a particular issue.

Each retreat is a loving companion into your own inner world--created by me to help you feel guided and supported as you explore your questions and issues. Personal, immediate, and passionate is the mood and tone.

Each retreat is designed to be enjoyed over and over again -- these are not programs you will only use once or twice and then let rattle around in the back of your car.

Each program has numerous points where you can stop the audio and get creative with your retreat, substituting or adding different activities to suit your needs and mood at that time.

The retreats are brief. Each retreat is designed to create a rich inner experience and help you get what you need, even if all the time you have is a lunch break, while the kids are napping, or at a more reflective time -- perhaps on a Saturday morning or Sunday evening. And each retreat can be expanded to create the framework for an entire weekend!

Audio Sacred Pause Retreats use your imagination, your body, and your spirit to create insights and shifts in your perceptions of whatever you are struggling with or curious about in your life right now.

"Jennifer Louden's insights are tremendously helpful and her exercises very fresh and original." ~Hilda Flamholtz

If you liked The Woman's Retreat Book or Comfort Secrets for Busy Women... you're gong to love Audio Sacred Pause Retreats.

I've spent 14 years researching and exploring the core of self-care and the archetype of retreating. I've interviewed thousands of women, lead dozens of retreats, and taken many, many personal retreats. My research stretches from Ancient Greece to the yogic traditions in India to modern America. I draw on all this and the retreat experiences of readers and coaching clients to create the most powerful and interactive environment for Audio Sacred Pause Retreats.

"Whether we recognize it or not, each one of us has a central sacred question around which our lives circle... whatever the questions, how passionately we pursue and live it in large part determines how fully and wholeheartedly we live and how peacefully and contentedly we die." ~Roger Walsh
