Some years, rest finds you. Most years, you have to go looking for it. That’s the whole idea behind Wild & Well — our women’s retreat where strength meets serenity, and where the only agenda is the one your body’s been asking for all along.
We’re thrilled to announce that Wild & Well is returning to Sansara Resort in Panama for a second year, a full week made just for women. Mark your calendars: May 16–22, 2027.
Where Strength Meets Serenity
Last year, a group of Pause women plus their friends, mothers, daughters and sisters packed their bags, left the to-do lists behind, and spent a week rediscovering what it feels like to simply be in their bodies — not perform in them. The response was so magical, we knew we had to do it again.
Sansara sits on the edge of the jungle and the Pacific, and the week is built around that balance: structured enough to actually reset your nervous system, loose enough to let you nap in a hammock without guilt. Expect:
- Yoga and Pilates fusion classes each morning and afternoon, led at a pace that meets you where you are, beginner to advanced
- Farm-to-table meals made with fresh, local ingredients — no counting, no restriction, just incredibly beautiful and tasty food
- Spa treatments woven into the week for real, hands-on rest (spa treatments are extra and SO worth it!)
- Adventure excursions available, including jungle tours, waterfall hikes, SUP, horseback riding, and fish and whale watching, for the days you want to move rather than melt into a hammock (excursions are extra)
- Sunset meditations, journaling time, and long stretches of unstructured rest — because a retreat that schedules every minute isn’t actually a retreat
And maybe the part that surprises people most: the friendships. There’s something about a week away, surrounded by other women who get it, that turns strangers into a support system fast. Past participants have told us the community was the part they didn’t know they needed — and the part they missed most once they got home.
Why This Is a Women’s-Only Retreat
We saw what it did for the women on the retreat last year. It’s a space built entirely around what a week of rest looks like when you’re not managing anyone else’s needs but your own — no partners, no kids, no client calls. Just you, your mat, the ocean and a jungle full of quiet.
The Early Bird Deadline Is Coming
If you’ve been sitting on this one, here’s your nudge: our early bird pricing is extended through October 31, 2026. That’s a few extra weeks to lock in your spot at the lowest rate before it goes up — but the window won’t stay open forever, and spots at Sansara are limited by design (this is an intimate retreat, not a resort takeover).
Booking early also means you get first pick of rooms, plenty of time to plan travel, and something to look forward to through the winter. Few things make January feel more bearable than a countdown to Panama.
