Find Your Pause Day retreat: 

Mindfulness & Nature

Sunday, June 7, 10.00 AM - 4.00 PM in Tenafly, NJ

A Day of Meditation, Movement & Nature Immersion


With: Miranda Lee, MS, ACC 
Certified Meditation &  Yoga Teacher and Resilience Coach 

When’s the last time you paused long enough to hear YOUR voice… not everyone else’s?

In one transformative day immersed in nature, go from rushing through life on autopilot to having 5 practical tools that use both mindfulness and the power of nature to pause, regulate, and reconnect to yourself in under 5 minutes. You’ll leave with the green mind framework, proven nature-based practices you can use anywhere (yes, even in your own backyard), and your comprehensive Pause Guide. That very night? You’ll sleep better, feel less resentful, and show up differently - because you’ve remembered who you are beneath all the doing and learned how to use nature as your anchor back to yourself.

 

This retreat is for you if: 

You’ve spent years being the capable one — managing everyone else’s needs, keeping all the plates spinning, holding it all together.

From the outside, you’re successful by every measure. But somewhere along the way, you disappeared.

You can’t remember the last time you simply sat without your mind racing through tomorrow’s to-do list. You’re craving a real pause — not just a spa day that feels nice while you’re there, but tools that actually help you reconnect with who you are beneath all the doing.

The woman who used to laugh easily.
Who could be a little silly.
Who didn’t feel guilty for taking time for herself.

She’s still in there.
And she’s ready to be found again.

Your nervous system already knows how to heal. Nature just reminds it how.

 

What happens during your day: 

Opening circle and mindfulness storytelling - Using the power of stories to connect within and with the group to learn from each other and remember who we are 

Mindful movement and meditation - Gentle practices to help you decompress and unwind. Personalized for every body and experience level, so whether you’re brand new or have practiced for years, you’ll feel held and restored.

Nature as your teacher - An interactive exploration of “green mind” - the science behind why nature calms our nervous system. Through short, relaxing practices, you’ll discover how to use nature as a tool to find yourself again, even in your everyday life.

Forest bathing meditation - A guided practice in nature (weather permitting) where you can simply BE. No doing, no fixing, no managing. Just you, the trees, and the space to breathe.

Sound bath for deep restoration - We close with an extended sound meditation that soothes your nervous system at the deepest level. You’ll leave feeling genuinely relaxed - the kind that stays with you when you walk back through your front door.

No two retreats are exactly the same - each one evolves with the energy of the group and what’s needed in that moment.

You’ve been holding everyone together. Who’s holding you?

Why am I teaching this retreat? 

I know what it’s like to lose yourself - because I’ve been there.

When my kids were born, I got so anxious that I forgot who I was. I was managing everyone else’s needs, being the strong one… and somewhere along the way, I disappeared. I knew I needed to remember myself - not just for me, but to be the person and mother I actually wanted to be.

So I went on a long journey of exploration through mindfulness, movement, and neuroscience. I studied with traditional teachers in India and cutting-edge neuroscientists in the US, searching for practices that actually WORK when life is chaotic and you’re exhausted.

Now, with 25+ years in yoga and meditation and over a decade of teaching, I blend ancient wisdom with modern, evidence-based practices. I teach cancer recovery yoga at Englewood Hospital, holding space for people in their hardest moments. I lead resilience programs for companies like Goldman Sachs and Microsoft, helping high-performers reconnect to themselves.

But here’s what really matters: I created this retreat because I remember what it felt like to be lost. And I know the way back. This isn’t just theory - it’s the path I walked myself. And now I get to hold space for other women finding their way home to themselves.

What you'll walk away with

Practical Tools You Can Use Immediately:

5 evidence-based mindfulness techniques (each under 5 minutes) you can use at your desk, in your car, or lying awake at 2am to calm your nervous system and reconnect to yourself

The ‘green mind’ framework - the neuroscience behind why nature regulates your nervous system, plus 3 nature-based practices you can use anywhere (yes, even in your own backyard) to find calm when life feels overwhelming

Your comprehensive Pause Guide - all 5 techniques, the complete green mind framework, guided practice instructions, and the science behind why each tool works, so you can keep coming back to yourself long after the retreat ends

An Experience Designed for Real Connection & Lasting Change:

Intimate group of just 12 women - small enough to feel safe sharing what’s really going on (not performing or hiding) and receive personal attention instead of getting lost in a crowd

Opening mindful council with storytelling - connect authentically with other women through mindful listening and realize you’re not alone in this struggle

Intention setting to anchor your experience - leave with a clear, personal intention that keeps you connected to WHY you’re prioritizing yourself, even when life gets busy again

Gorgeous outdoor park setting - experience nature as part of the healing (not just talk about it) in a beautiful environment that inspires you to keep coming back to these practices

Sound bath journey for deep restoration - with my colleague Johanna Samad so that you leave feeling physically restored in a way that lasts beyond the car ride home

Optional follow-up session - get support when real life kicks back in and you need help maintaining your practice, because momentum is easier to lose when you’re back in the chaos

One day in nature. A lifetime of knowing how to come back to yourself.
