Come Nourish Your Soul at the Rise of the Soulful Woman Retreat September 20 - 23, 2026 at Joyful Journey Hot Springs
This retreat is for the woman who is ready to come home to herself.
Dear Soulful Sister,
Do you ever sense that something vital is missing in your life, relationships, business, or health?
Do you feel the call for MORE, yet find yourself stuck in repetitive patterns that seem to hold you back?
Are you READY to RISE and embrace the fullness of the SOULFUL WOMAN within you?
Maybe life has been loud lately. Maybe you have been giving and pouring and showing up for everyone else and somewhere along the way you lost the thread back to YOU. Maybe your spark has dimmed and you can feel it. And some part of you knows it is time.
This is your invitation to rest. To recalibrate. To reset. And to RISE.
Over four soul-nourishing days nestled in the sacred beauty of Joyful Journey Hot Springs, you will be held in a container of feminine energy, deep healing, and sisterhood that will remind you of who you have always been and illuminate who you are becoming.
You will soak in healing mineral springs. You will breathe. You will be seen and celebrated by a circle of sisters who understand exactly what you are carrying because they are carrying it too. And you will leave with your spark not just reignited but rooted so deeply inside you that nothing can dim it again.
This is not just another retreat you attend and return home unchanged.
This is a remembering.
Your soul has been calling you here. Are you ready to answer? ✨

Joyful Journey:
A Sanctuary for the Soul
Our retreat is hosted by Joyful Journey Hot Springs Spa, a place of rest and healing.
Enlighten your senses with the rejuvenating waters, relaxing massage therapies, and magnificent views of the Sangre De Cristo mountain range.
Detoxification:
Some minerals found in hot springs are believed to have detoxifying properties. For example, sulfur can assist in the body's natural detoxification process.
Better Sleep:
Better sleep: The relaxation induced by hot spring bathing may contribute to better sleep patterns. Soaking in hot springs before bedtime can be especially beneficial for improving sleep quality.
Respiratory Benefits:
Inhalation of mineral-rich steam from hot springs may have positive effects on respiratory conditions like asthma and bronchitis. The steam can help clear nasal passages and alleviate congestion.
It's important to note that while many people find benefits in soaking in mineral hot springs, individual experiences may vary. Always follow safety guidelines and listen to your body's signals during any hot spring experience.

Retreat Testimonials
Meghan
Finding the Energy to Dream Big!
"I had an amazing weekend really leveling up for my personal life, my business, and dreaming big. I feel the energy ready to make it all happen. As a former educational leader, Stephanie is the top notch facilitator. She knows how to meet so many different needs of different people. She balances connecting with learning with practicing and with downtime. She knows exactly how to tap into that education leader that she was to really guide women through the process. It was such a positive experience for me. It takes a lot for me to take four days away from two small children and my husband at home and it was worth it! It’s going to make a huge impact!"
Carol
A Story About Getting Back to YOU...
...The difference I feel a few days after being back is something that I can't even really describe to you. All I can say is, if you've been struggling with who the real you is, and getting that real person back. If you have been mowed over from the world trying to tell you who you are and direct you telling you who to be and what to do, honestly, think this is the class or this is the way that you should go. Check into it. I am so thankful that I did. To do everything that I've learned and also learn more from Stephanie, she's amazing. She's so full of love and she cares, she truly, truly cares about every single person that she works with. You can feel it, you can see it, everything's just wonderful about what we do.
Not to mention the joyful Journey Hot Springs was the most amazing place to do it. So take a look.”

I absolutely recommend this program to anyone who wants to dive deeper into understanding and processing their emotions, wants to learn how to shift their energetic state when feeling low, develop a deeper spiritual connection and trust intuition, feel supported by a tribe of women, and learn to embody their soul desires and soul purpose. Working with Stephanie has been an absolute joy- she is my soul cheerleader, empowerment coach, and has created such a beautiful place to come and feel unconditional love.

Brianne Lozier
Nourishment Coach
When I started the women's circle, I was looking for community and support during this very interesting time. In my own life, several big transitions have given me so much to consider, and navigating rough waters alone can be difficult. I knew I needed support. It was wonderful to be able to connect with other women and lean on one another in healing ways. The practices we learned allowed us to be vulnerable and open to learning as a group. It was truly a beautiful time of growth for us all. I love Stephanie's infectious spirit as she has her own way of loving you straight into a place of loving yourself. She is highly intentional and motivated to serve from her heart. I just love working with her and being in her circle of powerful women.
Meet your Soul Igniter....
Stephanie Schoolmeester is a Soul Alignment Coach, award-winning speaker, and retreat facilitator known as The Soul Igniter.
With over two decades of experience in somatic practices, breathwork, and feminine energetics, combined with 23 years as a master educator, Stephanie brings something rare to her retreat spaces. The transformation women experience here is not just deeply felt in the room. It is intentionally designed to be fully embodied and integrated into their nervous system, their identity, and their daily life. This is not another retreat you attend and forget. This is a shift you carry home in every cell of your body.
For nearly a decade Stephanie has been guiding passionate, heart-centered women back to themselves through soul alignment, feminine energetics, nervous system regulation, and equine embodiment work with her beloved herd at Soulshine Sanctuary, her farm in Colorado.
Having been raised with horses her entire life, Stephanie understands deeply what these magnificent beings are capable of. And she will tell you without hesitation that her horse Jewels is the greatest healer and embodiment teacher she has ever met.
She believes that when a woman learns to be PULLED by her soul instead of pushed by hustle, everything changes. Her relationships deepen. Her business flows. Her body exhales. And she begins to live from a place of true alignment rather than constant striving.
Her retreats are not about doing more. They are about becoming more deeply HER.
Drawing from her expertise in breathwork, somatic practices, sound healing, feminine energetics, and energy healing, Stephanie creates spaces where women feel completely safe to shed what no longer serves them and rise into who they were always meant to be.
Women leave her retreats not just inspired but genuinely transformed, carrying a new relationship with themselves that continues to unfold long after they return home.
Stephanie lives on her farm with her herd, Jewels, Anthony, Perfecto, and Ace, where the land, the animals, and the rhythm of nature are her greatest teachers. She brings that same grounded, soulful presence into every retreat space she holds.
She is so honored to welcome you to Joyful Journey. 💜
