Inner Calm Retreat for Women: Yoga, Journaling & Soul Nourishment

THE INNER CALM is a retreat for the senses, for the soul, for what’s quietly waiting beneath the surface.

This retreat is an invitation to return to yourself. Nestled within the serene spring beauty of The Inn at Irwin Gardens in Columbus, Indiana—where quiet fountains, sculpted paths, and timeless architecture create a sanctuary—you’ll spend three gentle days exploring what’s unfolding within.

We begin by grounding in community and journaling practices that help you access your inner voice. Through guided meditation, mindful movement, and reflective writing, you’ll create space for insights to rise naturally. The gardens become companions in your process: places to walk slowly, to write without hurry, to breathe deeply.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Sleep in richly detailed rooms preserved from the early 1900s. Original woodwork, period furnishings, and quiet grandeur set the tone for a retreat that feels both intimate and elevated.
Enjoy daily gourmet breakfasts in the ornate dining room
Yoga classes outside on the terrace or the cozy attic
Snuggle up with your journal or a good book in one of the hidden garden nooks
Hands-on creative play through junk-journal making (led by poet Skye Nicholson) will help you express and honor the textures of your inner world.
Free time offers opportunities for spacious rest, healing bodywork, or quiet solitude.
Holistic cooking class and meal at My Whole Kitchen (located in the Roviar Building on Washington St)
Powerful on-site Healing Sound Bath facilitated by Coleen Fleming of Infinite Bliss
Shared moments of circle, meditation, and creative exchange build community and new friendships
You’ll leave feeling more centered, connected, and attuned… with a softened heart, a clearer mind, and pages filled with wisdom you didn’t know you were ready to hear.
