Why does slowing down matter? Why does knowing who you are matter?
Because when you pause and look inward – you see more of you. Who you are, what you’re good at, what’s happening – what you’re being challenged to learn, why it's hard and all that's good. And, this pause is sacred because in asking these questions you become more in sync with your reality, and who you actually are. You become more rooted into the reality of the current moment. And, if you’re kind there, you can find acceptance with yourself, support yourself, and even listen to what it is that you need. You can ask what would really be helpful here? Even if it’s small, even if it doesn’t make sense and you can begin to build a foundation of trust and support that lasts.
You Might Be Here Because You Are Feeling…
That change is required, but you’re not sure if you can trust it
Weighted down by life’s obligations and changes.
That you want so many things for yourself, but they don’t seem possible.

That you’re in need of rest and stillness without guilt.
That you want uninterrupted time to connect with your intuition and inner knowing.
Allow yourself space.
Follow your inner knowing.
Take this time for you.

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 know that something in their life is shifting and want the time and support to tend to their foundation with care, self-awareness and love.
If you’re in the midst of big change, give yourself time to slow down rather than power through. Find ease and opening rather than stress. Check in and listen rather than worry and doubt.
Slow down, reconnect to your body - let some old weights go and understand how to trust who you are.
It is a practice, and it matters.
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 am Jenny Lewis
And I am proof that inner strength is always available. There is a strength within - in the good times and in the bad - you are always building and growing into yourself. Take the time to pause, look within and notice that the inner you is blossoming.
After 8+ years of helping hundreds of people find their deepest, most-aligned expression, I’ve learned that the most important thing about providing coaching support for my clients is allowing them the space to be brilliant and love themselves with understanding and grace. From there, contortions relax and joy begins.
The person you came here to be agreed to this journey and came here to so some cool shit - to create some beautiful things and make a difference. The challenges and choices you’ve made so far have not been a waste of time. They are the fuel for your transformation. They are guides to your road home. You are brilliant. It’s time to turn toward that and allow yourself the time and space to reflect and become more YOU.
I am here for you!

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.
