Introducing

Breakthrough to your Elevated AF Life New Year Reset

January 3-5, 2025 | Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health

Three women laughing and smiling together in warm sunlight.

There are big, beautiful, cosmic changes happening. 

You are exploring a life without alcohol and are eager to find clarity of what that means for you. You are ready to invest the time, energy, and space needed to access your higher self. You are committed to going on this journey and building a life that you love. 

To get there requires deep inner work, changing thought patterns, building self integrity, and taking the first steps to becoming a woman of your word. But self-work doesn’t need to be done alone! 

Step out of your comfort zone and into a wellness-focused weekend to rediscover yourself, reclaim your power, and breakthrough to your elevated AF life - together with a community of like-minded women in an environment where you will feel a deep sense of love, safety, and belonging.

A weekend devoted to you.

Imagine taking yourself out of the day-to-day stresses of life - work, family, all the responsibilities. It’s so rare that we find an opportunity to do this. 

This is one of those opportunities.  

Begin your year at one of the top wellness retreat centers in the country. The focus of the weekend is for you to take rest, relax, and find the inspiration to truly transform and become the higher version of yourself you know you are meant to be.

Claim this as time for yourself to think critically and lovingly on exactly what you want and where you want to go - and gain access to Kripalu’s incredible yoga classes, healing arts, and outdoor activities. Plus, nourish your body with the incredible meals provided.

No matter where you are on your alcohol free journey, whether you are just starting to think about what sobriety could be like, or if you’ve already celebrated some big milestones, this retreat is for you to breakthrough to your elevated AF life!

Redefine Your Girls Weekend.

Imagine driving through the Berkshires, peaceful, fresh air, natural beauty and arriving at Kripalu, one of the nation’s oldest yoga retreats. It’s intentionally set back from the hustle and bustle of society. Its presence is powerful. You get out of the car, and immediately feel grounded. There’s a loving embrace from a place you’ve never been before, you feel at home. 

Many of us have an image of what a girl’s weekend looks like, or memories of how previous ones have left us feeling. 

This is your time to redefine what your girls weekend can look like. Deep connections, meditation, laughter, cozy conversations, time for reflection, yoga, shared meals.

This is the place where you will find your sober friends. 

This is your space to take time to connect with women who are experiencing the same challenges and wins as you.  

This is the moment where you will finally break through to the version of yourself you’ve always wanted to become, while being supported and cheered on by your new best friends.

Here's what we'll cover in our workshops.

  • Intention Setting

    We will open the weekend with a workshop on intention setting. Together we will identify what you are looking to gain from this retreat, and envision what your elevated AF life looks like.

  • Building Self Integrity

    In this workshop you will identify what you want and what feels impossible about it, have the breakthrough, create your plan, commit to what your support needs to be, what you need others to do for you and then execute.

  • Find Your Calm

    This will be a weekend of self-discovery. But there will also be dedicated time to relax, find peace in stillness, relax and reflect. Take a walk, write in your journal, book a massage, soak in nature with a cup of tea. Breathe.

    Find your calm
  • Experience Kripalu

    Take advantage of Kripalu's daily classes and workshops. Start your day with a gentle yoga flow, experience guided meditation, or join along for a seasonal workshop! There is a reason Condé Nast Traveler recently featured Kripalu as one of "The Best Yoga Retreats in the US and Canada".
