If you're a woman who is ready to reclaim your DREAM and up-level your life via mindfulness and adventure with a group of like-minded ladies, then join us in Colorado's wildflower capital, Crested Butte, for this
high vibe, Dream UP!, mindful adventure.
"The body heals with play, the mind heals with laughter and
the spirit heals with joy."
Imagine this, you take a deep breath, drop your shoulders and arrive in the present moment. Your next exhale releases weeks, months, and years of living in multi-tasking, go-mode, letting the weight of the day-day pressures melt away from your mind, body and heart.
You are returning to who you truly are - the YOU on the inside - your true self. A smile crosses your face and giggles rise to the surface.
With renewed senses, you see the majestic mountain peaks with new clarity, you breathe in the colors of the wildflowers, you hear the calling of the bald eagle flying above. It's as if someone switched the channel from black and white to technicolor and you ask...
"Why did I wait so long to return to this joy?"
What is a
Mindful Adventure Retreat?
Mindful = to be aware
Adventure = an exciting, experience
"Words do not teach, only experience teaches."
Our mindful adventure retreats offer a unique combination of mindful practice PLUS physical adventure so you can better understand your thoughts, actions and behavior patterns in real time.
The insights that reveal themselves during physical challenges are powerful informers and easily surface via physical movement and fresh experiences.
With an emphasis on elevating your life through mindful awareness, this retreat provides an opportunity to expand, explore, and elevate to new levels of thinking, doing and being. All areas of your life will benefit - relationships, work, sport, career, healing - now and beyond.
What You Will Walk Away with...
So, what can you expext when you spend 5 incredible, insight-filled days at the Dream UP! Mindful Adventure Retreat?
*Well, what if you got the insight and clarity needed to refuel your life dreams?
*What if you finally figured out that missing piece to greater life satisfaction, joy and ease?
*What if you discover clarity through reset and relaxation?
*What if you surprise yourself with new levels of dedication, commitment and achievement, during the majestic Crested Butte to Maroon Bells hike?
Would that be worth coming to Crested Butte, CO?
Yes! Without a doubt.
Here's the thing. Women are multi-taskers, focusing on being the best version of themselves for their job, their immediate family, their extended family, and their community. Year after year of being in multi-tasking, GO-MODE takes its toll and it comes at a price.
Health, joy, life satisfaction, clarified life-direction and personal dreams, are just a few of those costs but it doesn't have to stay that way.
By the end of the 5 days with the Dream UP! Mindful Adventure Retreat, you will find a new level of ease, joy, inspiration, and up-leveled thinking, via reset, community, mindfulness, movement and support.
The Result?
An authentic YOU that is unapologetically living YOUR dream and shining brightly on the world around you.
Expansion Through Adventure
Something magical happens when you immerse yourself in nature - the green of the pine trees,
the resilience of the land and the meandering of the trail draws you into your organic connection
to everything around you and within you. The lens you are looking through becomes clear,
your mind opens up to new possibilities and your heart expands with a passion for life again.
Ahhhh..........isn't NOW a good time to reconnect?

Participant Experiences
"I whole-heartedly recommend this retreat! What I get out of these retreats is something I love sharing with my friends, my daughter and my community. When I return from these retreats people immediately feel my positive energy, my peace and my ability to see the positive in my life. Jill is terrific. I so enjoy working with her and I am excited to continue working with her either in private coaching, group coaching or on another retreat. Our work together has ALWAYS been worth the investment."
~ Lori
"Jill's knowledge, skill, intuition and compassion have helped me overcome a lot of limiting stories and beliefs. Her ability to inspire and motivate have helped me create new stories that have me living a life I love. I have also learned that combining the self work that paves the way for life expansion with the physical activity and beautiful scenery is quite powerful, as is creating within the group setting with other women all supporting one another. "
~ Kim
"I have completely changed the way I think and the way I do things in my life because of the insights I have gathered from the Mindful Adventure Retreat. I never expected to gain this level of insight from coaching but Jill surprised me with the depth and the width of her abilities. I have tried for a long time to fit into what everyone else says I should be doing in my life which never felt like a fit. Now, I am able to see I have my own unique dreams, joys and interests. When I listen to this calling I am at my best which benefits not only myself but everyone around me."
~ Carol
"I came to the retreat thinking I was the only one who feels stuck in a spiral of negative thoughts. I left the retreat realizing that I am not alone AND I now have new skills and techniques that help me see the truth of my life. This, now understood truth, keeps me moving forward. Jill is so incredible to work with. We laugh, we cry, we have aha moments and I never feel judged. I got the opportunity to recognize how my body feels when I live in negative thoughts and how beautiful and light I feel when I live in joy and gratitude. I arrived with an undiagnosed heaviness in my legs and left with lightness and renewed energy."
~ Anita
Meet Coach Jill
Jill Sommers, MA, CPC is the coach who helps exceptional people achieve outrageous success. She has devoted more than three decades to studying movement, psychology, the sport of triathlon, and the art of Gestalt coaching (mindfully connecting the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual components of the Self) and has 30+ years of coaching experience.
As a Performance Coach (holding two Master's Degrees in counseling psychology) Jill has worked with clients throughout the United States and Europe of all ages and goals. The common thread that runs through them is the desire to feel alive again with less stress and greater expansion leading to joy and life excitement. Releasing the limited mindsets that hold them back is the first step.
Jill's greatest desire is to coach her clients via adventure and activity because when they "get it" in their body by getting out of their head, they create sustainable change in their lives, leading to unlimited confidence and bad-ass results with self, their families, at work, and in sport.
