She Reigns Now Rise Retreat
Discover the She Reigns Now Rise Retreat: Reclaim Your Power, Rewrite Your Story, and Rise with Sisterhood
Introduction: Welcome to a Movement for Women’s Empowerment
Hollie and Dana, certified hypnotherapists and co-founders of She Reigns Now, created the Rise Retreat as a space for women to rise, soar, and conquer. This is not a quick fix. It is a return to yourself. A movement that starts the moment you decide the crown is already yours.
In this guide, you will learn why stress sits beneath the surface, how women’s circles restore your body and mind, and how ritual, hypnosis, and community can help you reclaim your voice. You will also get a clear look at what happens at the Rise Retreat, why it works, and how to bring that power home.
Core themes you will find here:
Stress in the subconscious and how to redirect it
The health power of women’s gatherings
Rest as radical power
Rituals and tools that create change that sticks
Image suggestion: Women gathered in a circle around a fire, smiling, relaxed, and fully present.
The Silent Load: How Stress Shapes Women’s Lives
Unseen Grooves in the Mind
Stress is not only clenched jaws and tight shoulders. It lives in the subconscious grooves of the mind. It remembers not just what happened, but how it sounded and felt. When stress goes unprocessed, those grooves deepen into trenches you fall into again and again.
Hypnotherapy redirection helps you carve new channels. Calm, clarity, and courage can become your default when the subconscious gets new instructions.
Try this quick self-check:
When did you last sit with old stress and let it move through your body?
What sound or phrase loops in your mind when you feel overwhelmed?
What would you like to feel instead, and how would that sound in your own voice?
The Global Burden on Women
Before we talk solutions, let’s name the load. This is not personal failure. This is a system you have been carrying.
Women do about 2.8 more hours of unpaid care every day than men (UN data).
About half of women report higher stress than last year, and almost half are worried about mental health.
Even when women are the primary earners, they still average two extra hours of caregiving and two and a half more hours of housework every week.
Effort isn’t the issue, the setup is. You are not too sensitive. The world has been too loud.
Why Women’s Circles Are Lifegiving Medicine
Rare Moments of Pure Connection
When was the last time you sat in a circle of women, not to fix or plan, but simply to breathe, to laugh, to be? No chores waiting. No role to perform. Just women together, alive in the moment. Those moments are not frivolous. They feed your body, your mind, and your spirit.
“Just women together, alive in the moment.”
Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Science
Anthropologists call women’s circles the original medicine. Stories, laughter, tears, and touch have always been part of healing. Modern research agrees. Women’s nervous systems regulate in relationship. Your heartbeat and breath begin to sync with others. Oxytocin rises. Your body sighs in relief. Over time, even cycles can align.
Highlights from research:
The Nurses’ Health Study found that women who gathered in groups lived about 10% longer, with a 41% higher chance of reaching age 85 or older, even after accounting for health factors.
A review of 148 studies found that strong social ties were linked to a 50% greater chance of survival compared to weaker connections.
Loneliness and isolation raise the risk of early death by 26 to 29% and are linked to heart disease, stroke, dementia, depression, and anxiety.
Social buffering is the term scientists use for the way connection softens stress. In simple terms, stress lands softer when you are not alone.
Rest as Radical Power: Breaking Free from Conditioning
The Guilt Trap and Double Standards
Be honest with yourself. How many times have you felt guilty for resting? Many women feel a stab of shame or hear an inner critic whisper, “Shouldn’t you be folding laundry right now?”
A man takes a nap and he is recharging. A woman rests and she is told she is lazy. That voice is not your truth. It is conditioning.
Quick reset:
Count your yes to rest guilt.
Name the critic as conditioning, not truth.
Replace it with one sentence that supports you.
Rewiring for Joy and Space
It starts early. Little girls are praised for helping. Teenagers get gold stars for multitasking and keeping everyone else happy. Adults are rewarded for self-sacrifice. No wonder rest feels rebellious. No wonder joy needs a defense.
Here is the reframe: rest is radical power. Every time a woman rests without apology, she rewrites old programming.
What many women want is simple:
Space where your soul can stretch
Energy that does not require overgiving
Joy you do not have to justify
Permission to take up space
A shift from surviving to rising
Space is not selfish. It is oxygen. It says you are worth the air you breathe and the ground you stand on.

Inside the She Reigns Now Rise Retreat: A Portal to Transformation
Not an Escape, a Reclamation and Revolution
This is not a whine-and-wine weekend or a beige hotel conference with stale muffins. It is part rite, part reclamation, part revolution.
Ancient cultures wove ritual into every life shift. When a woman screams into the night sky or breaks a board with her hand, the body gets the message that something has changed. The body believes, and then the mind follows. What happens at retreat does not stay at retreat. It follows you home in your breath, your posture, and your sense of self.
Benefits of ritual:
Marks inner shifts you can feel
Signals your body to release old stories
Builds changes that last
Activities That Ignite Your Power
At Rise, there is structure and fire, gentle and fierce.
Morning priming meditations: Start your day with focus and calm.
Subconscious rewiring: Install new beliefs that serve you.
Group hypnosis: Rest your nervous system and reset old patterns.
Sacred storytelling: Share and witness truth in a safe circle.
Shadow alchemy: Find the gift in the parts you hide.
Body movement: Let your body lead the healing.
Rite and ritual: Mark what you are leaving behind and what you are claiming.
Evenings by the fire: Connection that softens stress and builds trust.
Permission to get loud: Sisterhood is forged in fire, not hushed voices.
A favorite moment from the hosts is board breaking. Hollie stood before a solid piece of wood while her mind whispered, “You can’t do this.” When her hand split the board, it was never about wood. It was about ending the story of being too small, too weak, not enough. She did it with a full set of nails, and the lesson stuck.
Guided Experiences: A Taste of Release
Try this now.
Close your eyes. Picture a circle of women. Feel the ground under your feet and the heat of a small fire. Notice the tightness in your chest, the words you swallowed, the anger you tucked away. Open your mouth. Let sound move out. Maybe a whisper, maybe a roar. See it rise into the night. Feel your chest open. Notice the women around you doing the same. When the sound fades, feel the space inside you. That is release. That is sisterhood. That is your power, waiting.
Next, imagine arriving at the retreat.
You step through the door. You put your bag down and set down the invisible bags too. The shoulds, the roles, the weight. Three days later you leave with open shoulders, steady breath, a real glow. Ask yourself: What is different? What did you release? What did you reclaim? She was always in you.
The Lasting Impact: Tools, Bonds, and Integration
Beyond the Weekend: What You Carry Home
This retreat is not the end. It is a portal. You do not just leave rested. You leave rescripted.
Threads you will bring home:
Morning breaths: Your body remembers freedom.
Hypnotic journeys: Access calm on demand.
Simple rituals: Mark moments and shifts in daily life.
Sisterhood bonds: Support that endures.
Rise is intimate by design. Spots are limited, so each voice is heard and each breakthrough lands. After the retreat, you join a private group to keep lifting each other up.
Connection as a Health Tool
Social interaction is as powerful for your health as diet, movement, and sleep. Laughing until you cry, dancing barefoot under the stars, or hearing “I see you. I’ve got you.” is medicine no pharmacy can bottle.
This is social buffering in action. Stress eases. Cortisol drops faster. Recovery comes sooner when you are not alone.
