My clients say:
The knowledge Jenny has the ability to guide and moderate, and hold space for each person, control the atmosphere is mastery. I had no idea the depth of experience before taking True Woman. I had never experienced anything like this before.

Why Now?
This retreat is for those who sense that something in their life is shifting and want the time and support to meet that change with clarity, care, and trust.
If you’ve been feeling called toward something more aligned, more meaningful, or more true—but haven’t had the space to tend to that call—this retreat offers a supportive moment to pause and listen. Not because everything needs to change right away, but because taking time for yourself now can change how you meet what comes next.
Rather than pushing for answers or outcomes, this retreat is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body and inner knowing, and remember what it feels like to trust yourself again.
My clients say:
I feel different. I have moved from free falling to a deep understanding and appreciation of myself. I would recommend this to anyone.

What My Spaces Do Differently
They make room for honest truth without isolation or punishment.
You can speak what’s true for you without fear of shame, social rejection, spiritual condemnation, or being made wrong for your honesty.They support self-honoring ways of living beyond inherited norms.
These spaces invite you to explore how you want to live without being constrained by social expectations, capitalist conditioning, or colonial frameworks that limit your aliveness.They allow deep emotional truth without fixing, pity, or savior dynamics.
You are supported to grieve, feel, and examine your own patterns, beliefs, and resistances without being rescued, managed, or minimized.They trust your inner authority and emerging power.
You are encouraged to reveal your power, explore ancient and intuitive wisdom, and listen to your inner knowing—without censorship, self-betrayal, or fear of how others (or you) might judge what emerges.
You may have experienced:
Focuses on analysis and talking without helping you access the deeper layers where experiences can be integrated and released.
Does not include the body, soul, and lived experience as essential to healing and transformation.
Guides you toward what others think is right or toward a preferred outcome, rather than honoring what feels true for you.
Does not trust that you have the inner knowing to see your way through challenge, growth, and change.
I’m Jenny Lewis
And I’m living proof that inner strength doesn’t come from trying to look good, stay safe, or take care of others at your own expense. It comes from gently untangling patterns and returning to who you actually are.
After more than eight years of supporting hundreds of people in finding their most aligned and authentic expression, I’ve learned that the most important part of this work is not fixing or directing, but creating space. Space for people to be brilliant. Space to make mistakes. Space to make corrections with understanding, compassion, and grace.
From there, something powerful begins to happen. People slowly let go of the conditioning that taught them. They let go of contortions of themselves, and create lives that feel good, honest, more alive, and often, more fun.
The person you came here to be agreed to this journey. You came here to create meaningful things, to live fully, and to make a difference in ways that are uniquely yours. The challenges you’ve faced and the choices you’ve made so far have not been a waste of time. They are not mistakes. They are fuel for your transformation. They are guides pointing you home to yourself.
That’s why I create spaces for women to reflect, speak honestly, and sit in their own wisdom— in a supported way as they move from old ways of living into something more true. These are spaces where insight is honored, growth is paced, and no part of you needs to be rushed or overridden.
I’m here to walk with you as you remember who you are.

My Clients Say…
Writing Classes:
I have learned that it’s okay for me to let my creative out. That it’s okay for me to share my story. That this is really hard work and that I can do it.
I now know that I can do big things. I feel excited about what’s to come. I realize that this book idea can be a reality. I need more creativity and peacefulness in my life. The time to slow down and decompress has allowed me the space and permission to be creative.
Taking time to write took me out of a box I unknowingly put myself in. I learned that the process I thought I needed to write and be creative wasn’t necessary. I went into this only really concerned about the technical ignoring the creative. This class helped me remember the love I have for writing and to focus on connecting to my story.
In her writing classes a safe place is created, and I grew with the other class of writers. All levels are supported along the way. Very positive atmosphere, even those with the tiniest voices begging to be written. I did not realize how shy I am about this process. I am fine on my own, challenging to allow others to be a part of this for me. I have more insight to deeper reasons for telling my story(ies).
Coaching:
I learned the depth of how much I sacrificed myself for my goals. Just trying to will them into existence at all costs without fully realizing what I actually wanted. I’m slowly grieving and also seeing it’s not the end-all of who I am. And I’m learning what happiness and joy can be in life.
The knowledge Jenny has, the ability to guide and moderate, and hold space for each person, control the atmosphere is mastery. I had no idea the depth of experience before taking True Woman. I had never experienced anything like this before. The book is mind blowing. The questions asked are what I needed.
I feel different. I have moved from free falling to a deep understanding and appreciation of myself. I would recommend this to anyone.
Group Classes
If the goal was to challenge our thoughts, our ideas then this class was a great success. We worked through a lot of challenges.
Every assignment - I was in it. It turned on a light I thought I never had. It made me think: what if? And, that things can go anyway.
This class allows for more freedom of expression and the ability to be one’s self.
Writing helped me to open up reflect, understand and forgive more.
She made it so that we had everything we needed to actively participate and excel in this class.
